We wish we had something new and exciting to share about our adoption this week. Unfortunately, not much progress has been made. Our paperwork did make it Vietnam, only to discover that we needed a few more documents. We hope those papers will make it to Vietnam next week. Once everything is received our paperwork can be sent to the Department of International Adoptions in Hanoi. That is when the real progress will begin.
Although not too much is occurring in the adoption. This weekend is an important one for our family. We will be speaking at the March of Dimes Walk America event in our county tomorrow. The March of Dimes is an important organization to our family. They are directly responsible for funding research and development of several advanced neonatal technologies that saved our son's life. Our son Aiden was born 13 weeks premature. He was a tiny two pounds and died shortly after birth, but was revived. He had a difficult path with several more near death encounters. Fortunately, after a 4 month hospital stay and multiple surgeries he is now nearly 2 years old and doing great. He does still have some special needs, but in all likelihood he will recover completely and be able to lead a normal life. But many parents aren’t as lucky as we were. That is why we support me in March of Dimes WalkAmerica. Because premature birth can happen to any family. In nearly half the cases, the causes are unknown. The March of Dimes is leading the way to find answers by supporting research into the causes of premature birth.
