Welcome to our new blog. I (Megan) hope to keep family, friends and anyone who reads this up-to-date on the status of our adoption. If you don't know already, Larry and I are in the process of adopting a child from Vietnam. Here are a few questions that people are asking us these days, along with our answers.
"Why adopt?"
We have been contemplating adoption for some time, but never pursued it any further than reading information packets from adoption agencies. However towards the end of February 2007, it hit us that it was time to move forward with expanding our family. It is more important for us to have the chance to parent together than it is for me to actually carry a child.
"Why Vietnam?"
When it came to programs available, there were many options to choose from. After hours of reading information packets and researching adoption programs, it became apparent to us that Vietnam was the right country. It may sound hokey, but we felt called to adopt from Vietnam.
"Why not adopt in America?"
Please see the answer to the above question
"How long will it take?"
Well, we're not exactly sure. But the agency we are using says between nine months to one year. However it is important to remember that with international adoption, anything can happen.
