Bad news...

On business day 43 of our wait for travel approval, we received an RFE (Request for Further Evidence). This means the US Embassy is questioning her orphan status. Recently the US has been hyper sensitive to hospital births. Birth mothers go to the hospital to give birth and give a false name and address. When the US goes out to do their investigation, they cannot locate the birth mother to question her...ah guys she gave a fictitious name because she does NOT want to be found. Nonetheless, the saga continues as we must fight to prove she was truly abandoned.

I am so sorry that you received an RFE. It was just a month ago I got to meet your little one when we went to pick up our liitle one from Dong Anh. Since we returned, I have been following your blog, hoping to read that you would be on your way to VN soon. I will be praying that this is resolved very quickly so Pearl can come home and be with her family where she belongs. www.samanthagrace.wordpress.com
