Such a funny blog entry, so great to have a baby! Hi Cindy and Allen,
Sorry to miss your visit with Bao today. I find myself smiling into the photo of Allen holding the baby, it is so great that you now have him safely in your loving embrace. May he be surrounded by loving and caring people all his life! See you all soon.

Happiness Abounds!! Dear Cindy, Allen and Bao Tien, So happy you are all home and beginning your FAMILY life now in America. We send our Love and Best Wishes! Congratulations!! Linda, Roland and Allie
overwhelmed 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!
Congratulation! 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
Thank you Thank you for making us all a part of the journey and sharing your adventures of the boy from Vinh Long! Love and blessings as you begin your life as a family.
sooo excited I cannot wait for yall to get home so I can meet Bao!!! I have so enjoyed your blogs during your visit. 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
hot moto momma 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
tougher 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?
What and adventure! Just got caught up reading all of your posts...what a great story! You can feel the happiness! Congrats to all of you...we can't wait to welcome your new family back to Tallahassee.
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!
welcome to the dark side 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!
You go ahead and spoil him 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.
congrats! 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.

Everybody has opinions 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
You are a fab family We finally have had a chance to catch up on the postings and pictures. It is all so beautiful, except for the one grinch guy on the plane. I hope the rest of your trip is great and we can't wait to see little Bao.
Love, Auntie Lisa and Uncle Stacy
