By Nancy Jessup Nancy Jessup's letters back to the U.S. describe her first Tet holiday, in Vietnam.
Parents adopting from Vietnam usually return home before the government offices close down for Tet.
However, Nancy remained for the Vietnamese New Year in Hanoi to complete her documentation. It looks like I will end up being in Vietnam for longer than I had thought. They are trying to schedule my Giving and Receiving ceremony for Monday, but there is no guarantee that the officials will cooperate. The other families are all going to be leaving Monday or Tuesday. I will probably end up being here for Tet.
