There's still some political unrest over there but things have gotten a bit better. I'm still not really sure what to do but I just thought I'd share this.
Dear Families,
News of political unrest in Bangkok is at the forefront of international news this week as a state of emergency was declared in the capital city on Tuesday. We are all saddened by the news of violence on Monday night resulting from a clash between pro- and anti-government protesters. The Prime Minister has indicated that this state of emergency was in place to help restore order and should only last a few days.
As always, we will continue to keep you updated on any developments that we expect could impact your adoption process.
The U.S. State Department has not issued any travel warning for travel to Bangkok or Thailand in general. In addition, we have consulted with our Thailand contacts and they do not anticipate any immediate impact on international adoption in Thailand. We do not expect any changes or disruptions to your adoption process.
The current situation is a good time to remind all families that, as is general precaution for all international adoption, we strongly discourage families from posting details about their adoption process on the internet. This includes posting information on personal blogs and public forums.

Why should you not share info on a family blog? Are they talking about keeping your names private (like you have) or not sharing anything at all? What could happen if you do? I'm just curious-I don't want to sound rude or anything.
I would think it's because Thailand is a guardianship country and they fear anything to make the Thai gov't revoke the adoption process. Technically, we are still just guardians of Maya. We are waiting for the final approval from Thailand to be able to finalize her adoption and to make her ours officially.
Ahh, I see, thanks for the info!. I did not realize that was the process-well I am keeping my prayers going that all that goes smoothly and happens soon for you guys! Whenever we get back to Raleigh we should get the kids together at a park to play!
