  4. Very exciting! Our son is from Fujian and absolutely LOVED Fuzhou! It is very hot (think hotter and more humid than Houston), but it was such a beautiful part of the country. Can't wait to follow along.

  7. Wow! That is quite an itinerary! And I thought my 2 wks in Vietnam was long when I adopted my last child. So excited that the time has finally arrived. It sounds like your expectations are very realistic. These boys are so blessed to have you all as their forever family. Bon Voyage!
