Care packages to Vietnam


The top picture is of our caseworker Renee from Family Connections and her ADORABLE son Mark. Renee conducted our homestudy, guided us through our VN dossier, and, last Friday, prepped us during our pre-departure meeting. We are so grateful for all that she has done to make this journey to our daughter a reality--thank you, Renee.

While in Cortland at FC, I picked up two care packages that families had sent for their little ones in LangSon-- one from Nicole and Tim for their son Zubin and the other from a family that I haven't met. On Sat another package arrived at our home from Michelle and Brian for their daughter in Thai Nguyen. Please know that your packages to your children are labeled and safely tucked away in Phoebe's suit case! See lower pic.

Now we need to get our last few items together and head to the Syracuse airport. We are flying on Continental Airlines via Narita, Japan toHanoi. Our flight gets into Hanoi late on Wed night. On Thurs early AM we'll drive to LangSon, briefly meet our daughter at the orphanage and then head to the Giving & Receiving! I can hardly believe that I'm writing this!
