Travel News

In great adoption news, our visas came today from the Vietnamese Embassy in Washington DC! We are all cleared to enter Vietnam on January 5!

Right now, we are scheduled to fly out of Detroit on January 4. We will fly Detroit to Chicago on Northwest, then Chicago to Seoul and Seoul to Hanoi on Air Korea. We should land in Hanoi at 10:30 PM on January 5, 25 hours after we leave Detroit! Yikes!!

What a long journey to get to your Pot of Gold at the end!

Can't wait to hear all about her. Remember - if she is a bit reluctant at first it is a Good Sign. And - if she comes right to you - it is another Good Sign.

And - use of toys/candy/etc to bribe her the first few days is perfectly acceptable.

One more thing - the bathtub and bath time were really happy times those first few days - be sure to try that or swimming if you can.

I am so exicted for you all!!!

How exciting for all of us!

Be sure and pack those finger puppets and the book. Our prayers and best wishes will be in your suitcases as well. We'll be watching for your blog updates. Give Lana a big hug from her new extended family.

Lots of love,
Aunt Harriet, Uncle Dave, and Cousins Mariah, Jason, Tav, and Adrian

Hey Gabe, Congratulations to you on your brand new Sis! Exciting times are in store so soon.

Bet you can't wait to get her home and teach her about brownies, pop corn balls and all the other terrific things only brothers and sisters can teach correctly.

Love,
Aunt Harriet
