Happy? Yes, yes Siam.

Turns out that yes, we have been approved from Thailand! Now we just wait for a match, and update any paperwork as it expires (medical after one year, employment after one year, something about the homestudy after two years, etc.). Woot!

Wat's Wrong?

I knew things were going way too smoothly! We were way overdue for at least a minor hiccup. And hopefully that's all this is - very very minor. Fingers crossed.

As some of you may know, there's a massive political protest going on in Bangkok right now. As a result, the Thai social workers who would be looking at our dossiers now or very shortly have had to relocate for safety. This should just be a temporary move, and let's hope so. However, the agency is reluctant to send our stuff (which is now back in Canada as of today - which I believe means the Thai embassy has approved us? I'm checking with Shelley) over to them at the temporary location in case they move back before it gets there; and they don't want to send it to the regular location in case the mail simply can't be delivered. So our dossiers are stuck where they are for now. 

Shelley has assured me they are doing all they can from the temporary location - another couple just got matched yesterday, in fact! - but it's best for our stuff to stay where it is. The election that may or may not happen is scheduled for February 2nd, so I'd imagine we'll have more info slightly after that.

Until then, have a Buzzfeed list of famous people who were adopted. That's right #4, #11, and #19.
