and boy were we shocked (but thrilled) it happened so soon! She was born March 15, 2007 and lives in the Binh Duong Province in the SE part of Vietnam. Her Vietnamese name in An Thuy Le. We received word yesterday and got the pictures today! For Cathy and I this is the happiest day in our life together! We never dreamed she would be so beautiful! This is truly a miracle from God and we feel incredibly blessed! We will give a few more details later. Thank you everyone for all the prayers! A special thank you to our three grown children, Candice, Abby, and Austin! This would never be possible without your love and support! Your baby sister will love you so much! UPDATE: 04/23/08 - Hopefully we set a record time for fastest turn around of the Power of Attorney document! Holt Vietnam will have it on their desk 19 hours after it was sent to us! Signed, notarized, state certified, overnighted from OKC to Eugene, OR! This document is the final piece of the puzzle for the Vietnamese government to approve and process our mountains of paperwork. UPDATE: 04/24/08 - POA was received by Holt Thursday morning. We received official acceptance paperwork on Thursday. We plan on having everything completed including the picture album for Emma ready to ship on Friday. UPDATE: 04/28/08 - Holt received our acceptance papers and photo album for Emma Monday morning.

Congrats! She is a BEAUTY! Vu has the most wonderful memories of his nannies in Binh Duong. Emma is in good hands and very loved. Can't wait to follow your journey.
Yippee!!! I love that you were able to get a photo of "the call". I was at work and had to try to pretend to be normal for the rest of the day. Emma is beautiful and you are all going to have a wonderful life together.
