By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours.
An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for,
received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full.
Love is meant to be shared.

Day 1

We ate breakfast in the hotel and ran into 3 other families that are here from our agency. 1 will travel for their baby boy with us and the other 2 already have their new daughters.

Then we were off to a large multi-floored shopping center where we bought some snacks and diapers. Later, we went out for some more food (pizza) and took some pictures of the area and the activities going on in it...

Enjoy Vietnam. I miss it SO much! If you want a suggestion for a good VN restaurant (that wasn't too local) tryl Viet Kitchen. It's by the Lake. Yummy!

So glad to finally check your blog and see you in Vietnam. When is your G&R? Do you have any more blogs of people in country with you for me to follow?

Are you over the culture shock yet? Are you loving it? Aren't the people great? Wait until you have Jacob; you will draw so much attention then. Enjoy every moment because it goes by way too quickly. I am so excited for you and your baby boy. Can't wait to finally see him.
