Kalpana sent us pictures, a friend has actually seen Ava in person (photos added after adoption)

Today the couple that I spoke about earlier from Syracuse who are adopting twins, e-mailed us. They are in Vietnam now and have their baby girls. The adoption agency staff took pictures of Ava with their camera when they were at the orphanage picking up their babies. It is very comforting to see pictures of Ava that were taken by people we have met in person. It is also comforting to know that when they asked where she was the orphanage staff new who we were hoping to get pictures of. She is so beautiful. The adoption agencies do not encourage us to post pictures of our baby on the blog until after she is formally adopted so you won't see any until after we have completed the process. Hopefully you will find our story informative and entertaining without pictures of Ava.
