We started this process January '07 with the hopes of being finished by now. I don't think anyone anticipated the process to be this long, nor did anyone foresee the complications that it would entail, but the road known as international adoption is full of turns and roadblocks. Almost always, the outcome is the same, so you take the risk and wait... you don't know when, but some day a beautiful baby comes into your life. Chris and I first learned of our little girl on April 10, 2008. Almost 4 months old, Le Ngoc Hau was going to be our daughter. It took us a while but decided we would call her Dillen, meaning precious thing. We received DIA approval (the approval from Vietnam to adopt her) the end of June '08 and I600 approval (this is approval from the US to bring Dillen into the country as our daughter) July 2nd. So we have been waiting since July to bring Dillen home. We created this blog to share our adoption journey with you, our friends and family and to encourage those of you who are taking a similar journey. I hope you enjoy our posts, pictures and videos as we prepare for our adventure to Vietnam.
