VIETNAM PROGRAM UPDATES

New Parents Join Large and Excited Travel Groups to Complete Their Vietnamese Adoptions

Seven Children?s Hope families are currently traveling to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to meet their children and finalize their Vietnamese adoptions. We hope in early April there will be another large group of families traveling to Vietnam! Three families are now only awaiting their Giving & Receiving ceremony dates so they can also make their travel arrangements to unite with their children. In late February, four families also completed their adoptions in Vietnam and arrived home anew.

Children?s Hope International?s Vietnam program received a referral for a 16-month-old boy for one happy American family on March 20. The infant boy is from Picasso orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City. Congratulations to this family! Additional families will receive referrals once the child?s medicals are completed, in early April.

We are SO delighted to announce that Truong Ni, the little HIV positive child on our waiting list, has been placed with her forever family. She has been on our waiting list for more than a year and we just kept praying for her to have a home soon. Our prayers have been answered and we are so excited for her new family. Congratulations!

?Ben is doing great,? says mom Kelly of her son adopted from Vietnam in September 2007. When Ben turned 4 years old in February, it was quite a celebration, but he has even more to celebrate now.

?Today is six months since our G&R, so that's very exciting,? shares Kelly. ?He is thriving in his pre-school and is doing new stuff every day. He's been such an amazing addition to our family and we couldn't love him more!?
