Oh, Brother(s)!

A family from our agency, CHI, just received the referral of two fantastic brothers from Vietnam. You can check out these cuties on the Leonard family blog - they are beautiful. They family will travel to bring them home in about 4-6 months. Another family with our agency received a referral for 3 1/2 month old twin girls last week. Congrats to these families.

My understanding is that young sibling groups are rarely available from Vietnam. However, we're approved for two just in case. Talk about turning your world upside down - these families are in for a fun ride!

Hey, I just saw your blog. We are with CHI too. Good luck with your adoption!

Melissa,
Your Dad and I are so incredibly happy about your decision to adopt. When you were a little girl, you spoke often of wanting to adopt one day. You were quite adamant about it, even wrote stories about it - and NOW here you are! We will all get a refresher course in patience on this journey - but God will entrust this precious little soul to you at just the right time.

We love you and Lance very much, and will be with you every step of the way. You will be wonderful parents. How exciting!

I've been following Gina's blog for months and I am so excited for them. I can't wait to follow their journey to adopt the boys. I also hope whoever got the girls has or will have a blog.

Melissa,

I just found your blog this morning and wanted to wish you well on your journey. As you already know, the waiting can be really tough and emotional, but your faith and the great support you and Lance have from your parents will make it easier. And of course, the support from the CHI-VN community and other bloggers helps, too. You have lots of people laugh with and cry with!

Thanks for sharing in our excitement over our boys!
