Please write and let me know what any of you are waiting for and your upcoming plans.

I will talk to my contact at the agency again tomorrow (1/17) and let you know what I find out.
What agency are you using? What state? How could you have been supposed to go in Sept when the country has been closed since June? How old is your daughter? We've requested an infant girl. Our agency has foster care set up over there, so we don't deal with the orphanages. let me know. Good luck.

She also said that there were about 270 families waiting at this time... hopefully they'll process people quickly once it's open.
