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.
I just received a call from our in-country staff that the Giving and Receiving has been scheduled for Thursday, May 7th. We will leave Hanoi at 5:30AM.
We were hoping for tomorrow, but after 10 months, what is another day?!
I found your blog and I just love it! We have a son adopted from Hanoi, Vietnam, and he is 16 yrs old. We weren't required to travel, so your pictures are wonderful to see!! We only have pictures of the G&R. Look forward to seeing more of your trip and your family. Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!
While you have a few more days, you might be interested in these restaurants. Vietnamese, very yummy, very friendly- we went to both quite often.
Tamarind (also has a few western-y things)
80 Ma May Street, Hanoi Vietnam (at Hang Bac)
Truc Lam Trai (lovely, friendly, buddhist)
39 Le Ngoc Han Street, Hanoi Vietnam (at Lo Duc, Tran Xuan Soan, Hoa Ma)
You will make it! Get some eating and some shopping done.
Check out the Green Tangerine.
