It has been a trek, but we heard today that our visa application for Jacob is FINALLY in Vietnam and should be filed by the end of the week. As I type this, it is 10:30AM in Vietnam.
It has been over 7 months since we first saw Jacob's face. He will be a year old next week.
Now we wait to be acknowledged by the Embassy. This should take about a week. At that time, they will also request a DNA sample. This proves that the woman that gave Jacob up is actually his birthmother, with the rights to do so. Within the day, the kit will be mailed to the Embassy in Vietnam. They schedule the appointment. That has been running fairly quickly for most families and I am praying that it is the same for us. The sample is then mailed back to the US. 2 weeks for results. They will be emailed to us and then mailed back to the Embassy in Vietnam. 2 weeks and we should get our approval to travel.
