Welcome to our new blog. We are in the process of adopting two children--one from China, one from Vietnam.
We began our China adoption (baby girl) in September of 2006. After months of paperwork, we learned that China adoptions are now taking years to complete...so we decided to do a Vietnam adoption (baby boy) while we wait.
We'll be posting more information, a timeline, and pictures soon!
