Scared to practice "freedom of speech"!

I fear that certain individuals inside our government will do just about anything to find a way to make our lives miserable and that is incredibly sad that I feel this way! I know it sounds horrible and I never in a million years thought I would have to fear our "allys" but in the adoption, I am afraid I do! Please continue to pray as we have no idea what is going to happen and what type of LETTER we will be receiving from the USCIS/DOS in the next 10 days(?). Here is the bottom line....the USCIS/DOS feels there is NO way there were 40+ babies abandoned in Halle Grace's province/orphanage. With over 800,000 people in a province, that number seems incredibly LOW to me...again, no one asked for my opinion.

God is testing me and I want to pass, so I NEED your prayers more than ever! So, now we must prove that a child who has lived in an orphanage her entire life is in fact, an orphan!

Just to give you the setting of her province...it's extremely poor and out-of-wedlock pregnancies are greatly despised by northern Vietnamese society leading to abandonment. Life is extremely difficult and dangerous for these people. Imagine life for extremely rural Europeans roughly 400-500 years ago and you'll have some idea of what life is like there. Most people, especially from the minority groups, have no electricity or running water. For many birth parents, the orphanage is used as a "feeding center" and the only way a child will get food. Most of the abandoned children from the rural areas were not born in a hospital, more than likely in the bedroom at home therefore producing NO birth records. Finding the birth parents of abandoned children is almost impossible because child abandonment in Vietnam is illegal. Why would they want to admit that they abandoned their child in front of authorities? This "real-life" description was provided by someone who knows what life is like in the TQ province. This is not a description taken from a "google search". This is life in TQ, Halle-Grace's birth place!

We are scared to death. If they make us find Halle Grace's birth parent(s)...based on what you read in bold above, how in the world are we going to be successful AND we are in the United States...across the world!

Thank you for your continued prayers.
