Thank you!

I would like to take this time to thank everyone who has followed our journey from start to finish and those in between. Your prayers and positive words were a key reason we were able to pull through this process. It has been very hard, but in the end, VERY rewarding. We would like to especially thank the LORD above for granting us this perfect little girl and giving us the chance to expierence something and someone so great. We know we are now starting a new journey with Sophie and we then look forward into the future and see if the Lord calls us back to Viet Nam to be united with another one of His children.

Time and time I asked the question, "Why me? Why did I have to have cancer? Why did I survive it? What is my purpose in life?" I finally have the answer... Sophie Lee Nguyen Belz. God knew what He was doing. He knew what He wanted for me, He wanted me to be a Mom all along. He wanted Hank and I to go through all of that to get to here. Right here is where we are supposed to be. We are the lucky ones. We were chosen for her and she was chosen for us. From day one on January 11, 2007 she was meant for us, even before we started the Viet Nam process. A special thank you to our new friends we have met here in Viet Nam the Duckers. We have really had a wonderful time, shared laughs and watched our girls play. We are thankful to have you all as friends for life and look forward to the years ahead as our daughters grow.

So thank you. For the past five years you all have been there for us. We couldn't have made it without the true love from our family and friends.

We are leaving the hotel and the wonderful staff here at 8pm for Noi Bai International. We might be able to post again before we board our plane but if not...

Out from Viet Nam,

I'm ready to go home!!
