The Maternity Hospital in HCMC where Ben was born.

The nursery in Tam Binh Orphanage, HCMC

One of our first pictures of Ben.

Dr. Quy, standing in front of Tu Liem Orphanage (now called Cau Giay).  We visited Tu Liem in Hanoi because Abby was in this orphanage before we adopted her.

Our meeting with Dr. Quy, director of Tu Liem Orphange.  We were warmly received, and everyone was very excited to see Abby.  There was a picture of Abby in Dr. Quy's office, one I had put in picture frame in 2000.  When I showed it to Dr. Quy she took it out of the bookcase and brought it to all the caretakers to show it off. Dr. Quy offered us tea, Abby's first tea experience.

Abby, with caretaker Nguyen Thi Hung.  She was one of Abby's caretakers in 2000 during Abby's stay at Tu Liem.

Children and caretaker at Tu Liem.

Mrs. Thuy with our 2 kids.  We stayed at the Claudia in August 2000 when we adopted Abby.

Abby is smitten with Ben.  She always wants to be with him, and gets very upset when he cries.

Just a cute picture of Ben.  The sweatband is our attempt to pin back one of his ears that sticks WAY out.
