| 26th January 2009 Sally | overwhelmed - From: Photos O guys I am so so very happy for you, I am overwhelmed by your amazing story. I didn't save the blog address since day one and never heard a word, so didn't know what was happening. His twinkly eyes, tiny toes, his smiley face and button nose,,,what a treasure! Well done, now there's no backing out, you really are parent....hurrrrahhhh! I'll email you properly now. Love always. Sal, sitting in her little cottage in sleepy Shropshire, England, thinking and dreaming and reminiscing about your great adventure! |
| 26th January 2009 paul Le | Congratulation! - From: Here's Where the Story Ends Hi, I've followed all your blogs. I really feel happy for your family and for Bao. I believe Bao is a lucky boy. And no doubt you'll be the excellent parents to him in all aspects. Anyway I wish both of you the best in a new chapter of your family life with baby Bao. Paul |

I know you are sad to leave but just think of all the excitement waiting for you here. Call when you have time next week!!! Elizabeth |
| 23rd January 2009 maria | hot moto momma - From: One More Day and Night Well, when fate calls for you to ride on moto, you must ride moto. I won't even ask if you wore helmut. These will be one of the stories you should not tell Bao when he asks for a Harley Davidson for his 16th birthday. Bao Tien is anxiously awaited by all. It is of the magnitude of President Obama. Ok maybe not quite as many but many. :) Can't wait to see the family. love, Maria |
| 23rd January 2009 les | tougher - From: One More Day and Night true. being safe is important, but now that you're a baby momma, you're already tougher than you were a few weeks ago. now you have mama wolf strength and you don't even know it! when do you arrive back in tally? |

| 22nd January 2009 nancy fontaine | - From: Bao's Lesson on Parenting Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood! You now have been officially initiated with throw up, screaming fits, poops, and unending story readings. But it is worth it! |
| 21st January 2009 les | welcome to the dark side - From: Last Night Dining Experience ahhhhh, the joys of dining w/ a baby! i remember it well. the timing w/ the fussing and a hot plate of food placed in front of you usually go hand in hand. sounds like you handled it well. miss you guys and anxious for you to get back. kiss bao for me! |

| 20th January 2009 Jamie Pham | You go ahead and spoil him - From: I Can't Stop Buying Things for Baby Bao When That Money Should Go Into His College Fund How can anyone resist? He is so adorable and deserve to be doted on. You are so lucky to be over there during Tet. I am dying to experience Tet in Vietnam on year but it will have to be a while longer yet. Enjoy being with Bao. |

| 19th January 2009 David | congrats! - From: On Dressing Bao Congratulations on Baby Bao. I occassionally read the travelblogs site when I get a chance. When I find a blog I enjoy, I'll go back to the beginning and read of all of their travels while in Viet Nam, which I did with your blog. My wife is from Viet Nam and we've visited 3 times since her coming to the US in 2001. I enjoy the blogs because I too, miss Vietnam and consider it my home away from Indiana, especially now with temps dipping below 0. I wasn't aware that the adoption doors to Viet Nam were open again? We've talked about adopting at one time, but heard the US couldn't adopted there. :( Anyhow, congrats once again and God Speed on your travels. Thank you for posting on travelblog. -david vnphotogallery (dot) com |
| 19th January 2009 Rich and Michele | Everybody has opinions - From: On Dressing Bao Cindy - you will find that everybody has opinions but the people who press their opinions on you most likely have never been in your exact situation. Those are the people you just smile at and hope they go away. People who you should listen to ask questions first then with some understanding share with you their life experience. - Uncle Rich |
| 19th January 2009 les | poor bao, poor you - From: On Dressing Bao cindy- that is too funny. why the paranoia over the weather? hope he doesn't get heat rash! haha |
| 18th January 2009 Lisa Joseph | You are a fab family - From: First Day in Hanoi We finally have had a chance to catch up on the postings and pictures.

| 17th January 2009 Donna Arnold | From Sherry's Mom - From: On Baby Bao's Name Hi Cindy and Allen-- Sherry e-mailed me about your blog, and it has been so much fun reading. When Sherry was born I kept saying my life went from black and white to technicolor. Becoming a parent is like crossing a bridge to another reality; you can never go back again, but you never want to. I always wondered how long it would take for that to happen with an adopted baby, but it's so clear that you both have already crossed that bridge. Bao is beautiful, and I can't wait to see him someday. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Donna Arnold |
| 17th January 2009 Jamie Pham | What a cutie! - From: On Baby Bao's Name OMG! Cindy, he is just adorable. I can't believe he is so big. Bella was only 13lb at 10 months when we came for her. You are not going to have any trouble feeding that big guy. He is so amazing. I am so happy for you to finally have him in your arms. You and Alen are just glowing as new parents. |
| 17th January 2009 Ashley | - From: Announcing the Arrival of Bao Tien Joseph he's just adorable, Cindy and Allen. We can't wait to meet him. Yay, Congratulations Happy Family! (keep blogging Cindy--it is hilarious and moving) |
| 17th January 2009 Lisa Collins | Pictures - From: Announcing the Arrival of Bao Tien Joseph Those are fantastic pictures. He's a beautiful boy. Can't wait to meet him. |
| 16th January 2009 Anita Odom | - From: The Boy From Vinh Long Cindy and Allen: My family and I are so thrilled that everything is going so well for all three of you! It sounds like Bao really turned around the corner even just after a day or few days simply by you two giving him the attention and love he needs. I have tears in my eyes every time I read your blog and we can't wait to meet your sweet little boy and give him loving hugs and kisses! Keep writing....it is so refreshing to read your posts! Love, The Odoms |
| 16th January 2009 Sherry Jackson | Abba and good health - From: The Boy From Vinh Long John will be so happy to hear that little Bao's first exposure to Western music was Abba! Naturally I am mortified, but I'm sure that years of love and good parenting from you and Allen will at least partially mitigate this cultural disaster. We are very happy to hear that the doctor says he is healthy and well! His weight sounds excellent! Looking forward to meeting him. Enjoy this time and take lots of pictures. |
| 15th January 2009 Jamie | CONGRATULATION! - From: We Got Him! I am so happy for you. He sounds so adorable and I'm glad he is taking his bottle. Enjoy your time in Vietnam with your baby. Kiss and hugs on baby Bao. Jamie |
| 14th January 2009 nancy f | - From: We Got Him! Oh you guys made me tear up again. Congratulations on your new little son. YOU ARE NOW officially parents! It will be more than you ever dreamed. More work, more joy, more peace, more confusion, more passion, more exhaustion.....all part of that completion you feel. The first nites are hard. Very hard. It gets easier. Be thankful he is crying - that means he is grieving, which means he was attached and felt safe in his former environment. You want that! Because it means he knows what that is and will soon recognize it with you both. He can love, and he will soon learn to love you. Nancy |

Museum opening went great. Had a lot of fun. Got really good response on the show. Jonathan is here w/ us. Yay! Anxious to hear about Bao. Love you-Les |
| 11th January 2009 Sally | your blog - From: I picked fantasy, I picked fantasy Your blog sounds like an exert from Bridget Jones, simple, personal and funny...keep it up...though have to say as an "all-knowing" parent, you will find that you will have to kiss life goodbye very soon and will be able to log on approx once a month, and that will only be to check your online bank account! So make most of it while you can xxx |
| 10th January 2009 Lisa | You Two Rock - From: Anticipation You are already the coolest parents creating a blog for your baby to view someday. I know he is anticipating having the coolest parents on the planet and you two are definately those parents. Love Ya, Lisa and Stacy |
