Possibly number 21?

So the update this week is that it will take another month or so until accreditation. No one is telling me why they believe it will be another month but at least it's not the worst news in the world. Also, from past e-mails I have concluded that we are probably number 21 on the Vietnam adoption list with our agency. I also think that we are the 2nd family in line open to adopting a boy. I'm not really sure how they will be processing the files, but in my head being 2nd to getting a boy sounds pretty good.
I'ts estimated to be approx. 6 months after our dossier is filed in Vietnam to referral of a boy, and then travel is 4-8 weeks later. I'm able to wait that long I hope. I really believe we will be referred a boy and it's getting harder to pass by the baby section and not pick something up. I just don't want to buy tons of boy things only to turn around and "SURPRISE your getting a girl" (not that I wouldn't want a girl, but I'd be surprised). I suppose I could always donate the other items to the orphanage. I'm not saying that we haven't bought anything... We purchased a stroller/carseat, and a few 12 month old gender nuetral sleepers. Hopefully we hear more soon from the agency and then I will be more comfortable with buying baby things because the adoption will be moving forward.

ugh. The waiting game that you seem to be stuck in right now must be so frustrating for you!
Hang in there.....I just know it will be worth it when it is all said and done.
