We had a wonderful lunch with Mr. Binh (in the below picture making a peace sign) and then off to the airport. Sophie's first plane ride was ok, she cried aout 75% od the way, but it was more of a sad cry and we knew she was hurting inside. We landed in Ha Noi and got a taxi with Rich, Jackie and sweet Mya and arrived at Somerset Westlake around 6:30pm with both girls racked out in Ergos with their fathers. We fed her a bottle and read a few books and she went to sleep around 9. Wow, what a totally awesome day. We cried tears of happiness, sorrow, fear all in one day with our daughter. Sorry for the late post but we had a little issue with the internet last night. Today we head to apply for her passport. More later on in the day. But we are proud to introduce our daughter Sophie Lee-Nguyen Belz.
In the Giving & Receiving ceremony. Tricia just got tinkled on :-)

We are rejoicing with you! What a blessing to have your little Sophie. Congratulations!
Looks like the 3 of you have been at this for quite awhile :) Our precious Sophie has her parents at last!!! You both are natural parents and God has placed in our loving arms a baby that was waiting for YOU both all this time. God sure does work in mysterious ways.
I am overcome with too many emotions as well.
It's me again.....forgot to put in the above.

Oh my God she is so sweet!!! I don't even know what to say...your patience has FINALLY payed off! Spicy and I are sitting here looking at your pictures and she perked up when I played the video and she could hear your voices! Hurry home! Olivia can't wait to meet her new BFF! -Ann
Hi Guys!
Love, love, love the video. Sophie "chews" her food like your youngest sister ( Libby) did, Hen. Absolutely precious baby...those eyes are incredible.
XXXOOO
chills!!!!!!
Seeing you all together puts a huge smile on my face!
Wow! How truly awesome to see you all together finally as a family. What a long journey this has been, yet so worth the reward! Praise God! I completely understand the mixed emotions you're going through....excitement to finally have your girl, yet apprehension about taking her away from those she knows, and also the gratefulness to those who cared for her until you could come. It is so hard to watch your child grieve, but know that our Heavenly Father has all three of you in the palm of His hand! It will all improve every day. My prayers are with you!
