143 million orphans minus 1

We picked Lydia Lan up from the orphanage yesterday. This is Lydia with Henry and her special caregiver. You can tell that Lydia is one of Henry's favorite children. He picked her up from the hospital when she was born.This is Lydia with the assistant orphanage director of the Tam Binh #2 Orphanage. Lydia has not figured out how to look at the camera at the right time. While sitting with the assistant orphanage director, we saw a picture of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They adopted their boys from the same orphanage.


This is Lydia's first formal picture. She is getting ready for the "Giving and Receiving" ceremony. Henry says that she will be the next Miss USA or Miss Vietnam, one of the two.


This is the newest edition of the Adams Family, Lydia Lan Adams becoming officially apart of the Adams family in Ho Chi Minh City. She already misses her four older brothers.
