We loved Ben and we cared about him. He's our family now. On Saturdays he plays with me. He waves to me when I go on the bus. He likes me because I'm his sister.
Parents are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to Vietnam.
Julie Hessler will provide a travel orientation by phone or in person for all parents traveling to Vietnam. John Nguyen, and his staff members will make your hotel arrangements, pick you up at the airport, and accompany you throughout your stay in Vietnam. They will assist you with all adoption meetings as well as meals, sightseeing and transportation in Vietnam. After your child is placed with you at the Giving and Receiving Ceremony, you will return to HCMC to complete the rest of the adoption process. A caregiver from the orphanage will accompany your group back to HCMC and will care for your child at the hotel throughout your stay while you are completing paperwork and sightseeing.
