On Feb 24, we finally got THE CALL. It was actually an e-mail from our adoption agency's tireless director, Dorinda Cavanaugh, which she sent at midnight no less when I was fast asleep. So of course I called her cell right away in the morning when I opened my e-mail. After a few trys I finally got her live and she told me about a baby boy in Vietnam. Needless to say my heart was racing and it was a very exciting moment. His name is Hoang Xuan which means Pheonix Spring. He is 3 1/2 months old and has the most intense eyes I have ever seen. He's cute as a button and we can't wait to hold him.
He comes from an orphanage called Tra Vinh which is about 5 hours south of Saigon. Apparently it's more of an old age home where our agency, TDH, built a baby house. The care the children receive there is supposed to be quite good. We are blessed. So now we fill out many forms and wait to receive our travel date hopefully in 3-4 months. With any luck, we'll meet Pheonix Spring in the spring.
