FCV Directory for Families Home G-J

The FCV Family to Family Directory provides a place for parents to announce the progress of their adoptions. It also serves as a resource for parents to connect with one another to talk about agency and adoption experiences. The directory is organized by adoption status (ie, in process or completed) and alphabetically by last name. If you would you like to be included or to update your listing, please go to: Add me to the FCV Family to Family Directory.

Special comments	Having arrived back home 28 October, we are still in a state of awe and wonder at this most perfect child we have been given (even if the feelings may be accentuated by jetlag and sleep deprivation).  While our adoption process right up to the last minute was beset by delays, frustrations, and setbacks, it all fades to insignificance when we hold our baby girl.  We greatly enjoyed our time in Hanoi (18 days), most notably the Vietnamese love of children, notwithstanding bureaucratic delays and changes we had to endure.  Three most important things we took to Vietnam: a sense of humour, a Baby Bjorn carrier and a sturdy packback!  Our stay at the Hang Nga Hotel, Hanoi,  was an experience in itself.  Hannah's photo's are in the FCV Photo Gallery.
