Here's what Will thinks about the whole situation:
Well, we're all trying to be positive. We've spoken with Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison's office who has sent an inquiry to the embassies in HaNoi and HCMC. Numerous friends, family, and acquaintances have called and written our congressmen. We are so moved and thankful for all your support. This will all work out. I can't bare to think otherwise.
However, once we are home, I am going to fight for changes to be made to the process here. No families need to go through this ever again. Our own embassy is disrespectful to the Vietnamese government and cruel to its own citizens waiting to go home with their children. Investigations definitely need to be a part of the process but there is no need for USCIS to conduct these investigations in the way they are doing right now. We recently found out that the Vietnamese International Adoption Office has filed an official complaint against the embassy with the Foreign Service Department because of the way they are handling this situation.
Today we plan to visit the Museum of Ethnology. It should be very interesting and I'm hoping to be able to figure out which ethnic group our kids belong to.
Please keep thinking warm thoughts and sending your words of kindness and comfort. They mean the world.

Thank you for the update! We are thinking of all the families there and so, so sorry that you are going through all this. I pray that you will be home soon with Will and Ava.
Seeing that little sad face makes my heart break! We also adopted a boy and girl this summer (6/28) and were in country for 20 days and it seemed like an eternity. I know how much words of encouragement meant to us, so even though I am a stranger please know that we are thinking about you and praying for a resolution to all of this. God Bless.
Soon you will all be home together as a family- exactly as you should be. You have so many extended unknown friends praying for you. Just contine to take amazing care of your two precious children and the rest will fall into place.
With as many people pray for you safe return with these beautiful children it is impossible for the prays not to be answered. Keep staying positive and I hope this works out quickly for you.
