Evan is from Phu Tho, the orange one in the middle; Ha Noi is the small blue one just to the right of it (about 80 miles away)
This is a description of my adoption journey, in which I adopt from Vietnam as a single guy. This is something I have wanted to do for many years but 2006 has been the year I decided to start to make it happen (but never believed I would be on my way to Vietnam so soon!).
I started this Blog on 11/30, so you'll see some posts I created in the past to catch you up...Please note that I have turned off comments to posts in this blog.
