Ava is Amazing!!




This kid is unbelieveable! She never cries, she loves to play, she's a very good eater, and she SLEEPS!! The first night she slept 13 HOURS and last night she slept 11 HOURS!!! Yesterday I went and applied for her passport and we had the Giving and Recieving ceremony yesterday afternoon. It is a simple ceremony but I teared up. The official made a speech about how they want us to love are care for Ava as we would a biological child. She asks that we teach her about Vietnam and try to bring her back to visit when she is older. We were the first family to go and sign the book. After that was signed the official told us congratulations and that Nguyen Thi Ha was now our child. She's OURS!! Today we started the scaring process- applying for Ava's US Visa. Please pray that everything will go smoothly over the next few weeks.

Hello!
I am from vietnam, my name is Mimi, I would like to translate her name, Hong, it has 2 meanings, depends on the pronunciation, it means either, the River, or Summer, either one is very beautiful expression. I wish you a good adventure, enjoy, asorbing all the activities, sights, sounds, lives, culture, and coming home safely with your lovely child. M. Lam.
