Our Adoption Journey - Vietnam

Join my husband and I on our journey to adopt our first child. We have chosen Vietnam for many reasons - but mainly because they are supposed to have short wait times for referral and travel.

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!!

So - we got the official call this morning at 10:30!!!!! WE ARE GOING TO VIETNAM!!!

They did move our travel dates by a few days. We have to be in Vietnam on Wednesday, November 1 and we are scheduled to leave on November 29th. We are leaving here on October 31st! Happy Halloween!!!!!!

We are traveling with one other person. The great news is that he and I found each other on the internet early this past summer. We have been corresponding about our adoptions ever since. Also, his son is from the same orphange as ours! We are so glad to be traveling with someone else that we feel we already know!!!

My husband and I, and another couple who we are close to are going out to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse tonight to celebrate!!!! We will start preparations for travel tomorrow - tonight we celebrate!!!!!!!!!
