| This page will contain some (hopefully!) helpful hints for the adoption process. Some of these I've gathered from others & some of them are things that I've been thinking of. Please feel free to email me with any hints that have helped you. |
| As of June 15, 2001, our dossier has been in Vietnam for 11 weeks. I'm starting to print out packing lists from the Adopt Vietnam website & thinking about what clothes & other items to take. Whenever I buy something for the trip, I'm putting it in a box that is labeled Vietnam. This way I'll have everything in one place when we get our referral. |
| When it's time to start packing, I'm going to make a list of the items in EACH suitcase. If some of the luggage should not make it, then I will know exactly what I'm missing. |

| We've set up a hotmail account to access our email while we're gone. Since I won't have much time to email, I've set up a list of addresses to email with one click of the mouse. |

| I know that you can buy diapers in Vietnam, but I've been thinking about packing them. As we go through them, then we'll have that extra space for souvenirs. I can't wait to shop! |
