Today we went to the orphanage. I visited my favorite boy and spent most of my time with him. I've found that each of us have our own special connection with one or two of the kids with us. This makes the thought of leaving even harder. The orphanage has changed my perspective on adoption as well. I've always enjoyed the thought of having my own children with my husband but after my experience here I would consider adopting n Vietnam. However, I wouldn't adopt in the United States. I've come to realize how messed up our adoption process is. In the United States you must pay a large sum of money to adopt along with various fees along the way. There are also numerous wait times with no set time of when you'll receive the child. Here in Vietnam, you just have to fill out paperwork and prove that you are capable to care for a child, no cost, no wait time.
