On Our Own

Stream-of-consciousness tales of a single mom and her two kids as we embark on a life-altering adventure.

21 May 2009

Thanks!

We're lucky enough to have received a ton of support from friends and strangers alike over the past few weeks and I'm incredibly grateful. And in the wave of support, we've been requested to help out in various ways. I'm happy to do so. We'll be bringing photos of adopted children back to the orphanages that cared for them. Some purchases are being sent to us to transport to Hanoi. Our bags are already packed with clothes for the kids in Tam Ky.

I feel honored and appreciative to be able to help people. Once we get there we'll find some ways to continue helping, I hope. Amid the adventures of just getting by.

Visa applications arrived in San Francisco and I'm hoping they'll be back home in a few days. It's the last step.

--UPDATE--
Two hours later the visas showed up. I mailed the apps Monday and got them back four days later. Not bad at all. We are ready to go!

Time has just zipped by. I can't believe you are leaving in a little over a week. Glad everything worked out with the Visa. That's wonderful that you are able to help the orphans over there.
Yeah - I agree there is never enough time to get everything done.
Have an awesome summer (hopefully we can get together & will see you guys next week before you leave)
