Well, I emailed our agency this morning after waiting for an update & not yet receiving one. I found out that our agency's facilitator in VN has not & will not be going to Quang Nam this week. Even though we really want updated pictures & medical info, this is completely understanding. The current adoption agreement between the US & VN expires on 9/1. So, due to this, the facilitator has not been able to make it to Quang Nam this week as expected. He's been dealing with more pressing matters due to the expiration. I can't imagine what other families are going through as they now realize they will have to start over with another country, and possibly another agency, due to this expiration. The last time this happened between the US & VN it was 3 years before a new agreement was in place. Hopefully there will be a new agreement in place very soon.
Since we received our official referral last month we are "safe". Hopefully we'll receive updated info next week. I'll post once received.
