So great to hear from you! We tried to get in touch with you a few months ago as we were trying to find any contact info for Dr. Hong and see how you guys are doing! The return to Hanoi and the orphanage was simply amazing, and our two boys seemed to genuinely connect with their first home. We are having a blast exploring the world! How are you guys doing? How’s Kian? One of these days, we’re all destined to meet! In the meantime, hope all is well!

We also moved to Vietnam to deal with our adoption challenges. So glad to see your family flourishing. How crazy is it that my webpage opened to your site???? Life is crazy! You have a beautiful family!

It must have been so incredible for each of you individually and all of you as a family at the same time. Looking at the faces of the nannies and the children, it is clear there is endless love there. My favorite photo was the one where the nanny from 5 years ago sees Tuck (and Jones peeking out behind him) and she is overwhelmed with joy.

So glad you shared this reunion and my goodness your words brought me to tears. I hope you can create a “volume 2″ to accompany the cool book you made for the first visit to Vietnam. A sequel if you will. Hugs to each and every one of you!

They have an extended family in Vietnam with huge hearts and generous spirits — just like their American family! So glad for everyone five years later all the connections remain true.

Transported sometimes to faraway exotic places, and othertimes just fixated on the small details that you so carefully describe- Its wonderful! (almost) like being there….we all sit on the edge of our seats….loving the photos and the videos.
But this time, you have outdone yourself! What a wonderful story. Tuck and Jones have so much to be thankful for, all of the amazing people at the orphanage, being adopted by such an awesome family, and the homecoming! The “then and now” photo is so great!!
Yes, It is amazing that you are travelling around the world, with 5 kids, no doubt, but more amazing are these experiences, and the people!! You are so blessed.
Thank you for sharing this. We miss you.
The Winnie family
