Dear Family and Friends,
As you may know, we have begun a new journey in hopes of growing our family. This journey will lead us halfway around the world to adopt a little girl from Vietnam. We don't know who she is, what she looks like, or when we will be able to hold her close…but she has already become a part of our hearts.
We began the process of adopting nearly a year ago. It is an extensive process. The process has kept us busy carefully completing paperwork, getting copies of birth certificates, meeting with a social worker, getting fingerprints, attending interviews, getting fingerprints, background checks, and more fingerprints (yes we were fingerprinted three different times by three different agencies). Once all the paper work was completed it was sent to the Secretary of State to verify authenticity and then it was sent to the Vietnamese Consulate in San Francisco to be translated. It has now returned from it’s trip around the country and is ready and waiting to begin its trip to Vietnam. We are hoping to be matched with a little girl soon, but God only knows what the future will hold. It is likely that we will still have to wait several months to be able to bring our baby home.
We have set up a blog to track our journey to little Sophie who is waiting for us now in a Vietnamese orphanage. We will be adding updates and all of our adoption related milestones here and would love for you all to follow along in our journey at http://journey2sophie.blogspot.com
You are welcome to forward this letter to anyone who may be interested in adoption or in following us through this process.
Yours Truly,
Craig & Chaunta
