I traveled to VN last June with my daughter and her family to adopt Kien. He turned 2 June 6; his gotcha day anniversary is today -- June 10.
I would love to have access to your blog! Thanks!
If you are awake in the middle of the night looking for something to do, here is their blog of bringing Kien home (starting at the beginning) -- http://journey2ourbabies.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-06-09T04%3A04%3A00%2B07%3A00&max-results=20
