Arrival in Bloggerland!

After reading and following adoption posts for a year and a half, I am finally ready to launch my own blog! I am definitely computer challenged, so my 14 year old daughter Laura is going to help me set up my blog to follow our adoption journey to Vietnam for our baby girl. My husband and I started our adoption search in the summer of 2006 and signed on Octoer 4 with one of the few adoption agencies at the time that were licensed in Vietnam. We finally became DTV on July 6, 2007, but found out in August that we were with an agency that was corrupt and unethical. So at the end of August we signed on with our new agency, who we are SO happy with- very communicative and supportive! Unfortunately, the US has decided to turn the VN adoption world upside down in their quest to make sure that adoptions are ethical. While ethical adoptions are of utmost importance, the US has launched these investigations at the expense of their own US families who have been denied visas and without being culturally sensitive to the Vietnamese people. So we are praying that the US and VN can resolve their problems and issues so that adoptions can continue in VN for the sake of the babies and all the families waiting for their little ones. It's been a long year and a half, but we are hoping our little girl will show her sweet little face soon!!
