Welcome!

23. November 2008 by Mark.

Welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to TROY and the journey I am taking to add him to my family. Troy is currently in Que Son, Vietnam, and I am in the final stages of adopting him. I hope to depart from Los Angeles the evening of December 1 (arriving the morning of December 3).

As a consequence of this, Troy will also get a big brother, Evan, and Evan will get a little brother. Evan is also from Vietnam, and I completed his adoption almost exactly two years ago. Evan’s current blog site is here and my blog from his adoption journey is here.

I am limiting access to this blog to selected individuals out of respect for those families whose Vietnam adoption journeys ended prematurely with the current shutdown of Vietnamese adoptions for U.S. citizens. If you know me, you know how to reach me by e-mail and I’ll be happy to give you the password for the protected posts.

By the way, I’m using Wordpress as my blogging tool, and hosting it on my own web space. I’m doing this because 1) Wordpress has better features for password protecting posts and 2) I have had problems accessing the blogger site from Vietnam in the past. I’m using a domain name (www.adoptpoint.com) that I had registered for a different purpose some time ago. Don’t read anything into that. Anyway, you can count on some glitches as I get over the Wordpress learning curve, so please accept my apologies in advance.

Stay tuned for more updates and background on Troy’s story!
