Thankful...

I have been debating about posting anything on the current situation with adoptions in Vietnam. I am not involved in the process now, and so my knowledge of the situation is only what I read and what I hear from other parents or groups. I have lots of feelings, but no real data. What I have decided is that I'm disappointed and heartbroken for the children that will still be in orphanages, regardless of what happens between the US and Vietnam.

Someday when Hai reads this blog I want him to know how lucky I feel that we were able to make our family together. He's the best thing that's ever happened in my life, so I thank God, the Universe and timing that we were able to complete our adoption and become a family.

Here's a couple of pictures of Hai from a party we went to this weekend. He had his first pony ride! He completely missed his nap and it was about 85 degrees, so he's barely holding his head up, but he sure thought the ponies and the petting zoo were cool. Too bad Mom can't keep her mouth shut for the photo...

For those of you interested, his shirt says "AB/CD" :-)

Excellent wardrobe choices! ;-)
It's the 27th. When do we get more shots of the superstar? (Hai, that is. teehee!)

Catching up. Thanks for the first paragraph..we've been wondering. From the start, your timing with Hai has been very special. He was clearly meant to be a McVicker. We all feel thankful to have him in our lives.
