Departing Hanoi

We will be leaving Hanoi tomorrow. Though we are anxious to get home and share our new addition with our family and friends, we are not looking forward to leaving Hanoi.

We have had such a wonderful and positive experience here. Words cannot be said for the way we feel about Vietnam. We have been blessed to have met the many people along this journey, from the initial paperwork and decisions 8 months ago to our final embassy appointment today.

A little advice for those who are considering adoption, it is something that comes from the heart. If you are considering an adoption, keep researching. Research your heart most of all, everything else will fall into place. It make take you months to decide on an agency or even where you may want to adopt from. It make take a while to come up with your funds, but perseverance will pay off.

For those of you who have begun this journey, hold on, it will be a ride of a lifetime. For those who have already adopted, why not another one? You know you want to!

We really appreciate our agency, both the US and Vietnam staff were priceless to us. They did such a great job!

Thanks to the other families who we have shared the past weeks with. We really enjoyed sharing this experience with you.

Oh, by the way, we are reserving the following blog name ...(just in case) 3rd time around, Vietnam Adoption.

I feel I am the most blessed Dad in the whole world!
