Aloha,We are Bill & Amanda and we live in Hawaii. We started this blog to chronicle our journey to Vietnam to adopt our child. We are adopting a girl, her Vietnamese name is Thuy. Thuy is currently in an orphanage in Lang Son Vietnam. Lang Son is a province in Northern Vietnam on the border of China. Our precious baby girl was born January 20, 2007.
We enjoyed so much reading the blogs of those who traveled before us that we wanted to do the same. It is such a wonderful way for your family and friends to be part of such a special and momentous occasion in your life and for others who are about to make that same journey to learn and travel along with us.
We took this picture in Waikiki (which we never visit unless we have guests). We are standing in front of the famous Duke statue. Duke Paoa Kahanamoku is considered the father of modern surfing as well as an Ambassador of Aloha. His back is to the ocean as he faces Waikiki, which is quite controversial here in Hawaii. Everybody knows you should never turn your back on the ocean.
