Same cost...less time!

As we just reported, there has been a slight delay in our adoption process. After speaking with our adoption coordinator last month, she really encouraged us to start our process quickly as the time frame could change the longer we waited. After my doctor's appointment last month, we knew were going to be delayed almost 2 months...and that slightly worried me.

Yesterday, I got an email from Gladney announcing they are now offering adoptions in VIETNAM!!! I was thrilled. We wanted to go with Gladney in the beginning but they didn't offer Vietnam adoption. God really gave me instant peace that this delay is for the best. After a little more research, we found out that the cost to adopt through Gladney is the same as through Children's Hope - I mean the exact same amount - God is good!

Additional peace came when I found out that instead of 12-14 months through Children's Hope, Gladney's time frame is only 5-8 months. So, not only are we able to adopt through Gladney, we have reduced our waiting time by several months.

More to come after the surgery next month......

Vietnam on Hold

Just wanted to check in with everyone and let you know that our Vietnam plans on currently on hold. After a recent visit to the doctor, I was encouraged to undergo an out-patient surgery to determine the exact reason we have not been able to get pregnant. This surgery is scheduled for November 13th. The doctor was very positive and felt that the previous diagnosis of infertility may have been wrong.

We seriously had the adoption papers filled out and ready to mail them the day after our appointment. This was kind of emotional, yet exciting news. Please continue to be in prayer for us as this next month will determine where everyone will first meet baby sasser....the airport or the hospital!
