Hello everyone. Well we had our meeting with the Consulate yesterday at 11 a.m. The meeting was kind of strange. We found out that Van was possibly the 4th child of a 45 year old woman, but the Consulate Interviewer acted like she didn't buy that. She was concerned for the lack of medical records available on Van and the other child traveling with us. We are waiting on a packet that hopefully will be ready monday so that we can travel to Hanoi. We cancelled our return flight and have it on hold until we know our return date. We hope to return late next week. Van was up from 12:00-2:00 a.m. -not a fun night. Keith and I took turns trying to soothe him and get him to sleep. We are at high frustrations levels again, we feel out of the loop as to what exactly is going on. The coordinator that is with us speaks little English and the other Coordinator is in Hanoi with some new families that are traveling here. Please pray for us as we are feeling irritated and uninformed. I will try to post a photo soon.

Hang in there all will be okay. You're Van's mama now. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." and he placed his hands on them. The four of you will be home very soon is our prayer. pops and mama
Glad to hear that you all had your meeting.I know it must be very frustrating to wait on all these people to get their ducks in a row. I pray that Monday the packet will come through and you all will be on your way to Hanoi.I do hope for your sake you will be home by the end of next week.Just hang in there, God is with you all and He will never leave you.Love, Heidi Stringer Woods
Parker Four,
It sounds like your having a real tough time. You have a lot of things going on right now. If you only had to deal with one or two, it would be okay. However, you have several issues. This will only make you stronger. Just remember, Van is dealing with the change just as you all are. At first it was new and exciting. But, now reality is setting in and he is problem feeling out of sorts and feels your tension. Just know what you are going through with him is to be expected and will pass.
I've been praying for you all. This too shall pass. I will praying that you get to Hanoi very soon and get back in the good ol' USA ASAP!!
Hang in there! Remember, we're all praying for you all and your sanity! :)
-Mandy
