This is torture

Not much happened today. One of the WC staff called us this morning and came by late this afternoon. Aside from that, there's not much action here in Hanoi.

I think that the kids are picking up on the fact that we're so upset. They have done nothing but cry whenever they aren't being held all day long. We pick them up, they fall asleep, we put them down, they start to cry, rinse, repeat.

We don't really know what's going on, other than there is an investigation. Either they're looking at the entire province and we're just waiting on the NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) or this is a routine investigation and there's nothing really wrong.

The worst part is just the waiting. It's Friday night here now, and Monday is a holiday (Columbus day), so we aren't going to hear a thing until Tuesday at the earliest (Yes or NOID). It could go even longer.

We went ahead and rebooked our flights for next weekend which is just wishful thinking on our part. The odds of us getting out of here by then aren't very high, but we just wanted to feel like we were making progress.

We've been traveling for 22 days so far, and I don't know how much longer we can handle this.

Hi Guys,
Hang in there. I know that World Child here is doing everything possible to get you and your babies out. Their lawyers are working on it as we speak. Todd and I were there 30 days in a very similar situation and it was torture not knowing what was happening. We are praying for all of you :)

We are all following what is happening with all of you. We are praying and are prepared to make some calls if it would help!
