happy and sad goodbyes

Quang's getting a home on Monday. He's been at the orphanage since he was born, though he was scheduled to be adopted at birth. He's a twin and when he was born, it was harder on him physically and he was left with bruising on his face. The adoptive parents showed up and decided they wouldn't take him and, instead, adopted only his brother. Quang was taken to the baby orphanage and has been living there, since while his brother lives only a few kilometers away.

Now, there's a couple coming from America to adopt this fantastic kid and while I am so excited that he will have a family, it is sad to say goodbye. Quang and Stuart are very similar in ways and have gotten along very well; the goodbye was hardest for him. We gave Quang a photo of him and Stuart with a message and our email address on it. Yen is going to see if she can get the mailing address for his new parents, so we can contact them. We'd really love to stay in touch with him via his family. And just maybe get to see him again in the States. I hear he will live near Disney World. Sounds like a good vacation spot to me.
