We are a famly.

Hi everybody, Scott here. It is official and it is real. We have our boy [Hien for now], he cries, he poos, he sleeps, he eats, he drinks, he wees, he bangs his head and he plays with toy monster trucks. We will post photos later tonight. Shauna is convinced he is the child of Angelina and Brad!
We are still in Soc Trang, everybody over here has been so helpful and friendly. We feel lucky, but the people of Soc Trang say the [ex]orphans are the lucky ones. We spent some time at the orphanage yesterday, lot of kids, happy, but parentless. I played soccer for a while with some of the older ones. I would have bought them home too. We met the carers and the director. All doing a great job, not stopping for a second,.. feeding, cleaning, rocking,.. real saints [or what ever the word is for a female saint??]

It feels so ... 'right and good'.
The ceremony was this morning, Shauna cried on que. The town officials were very pleasant, the town is nice too, full of young happy people and young families on scooters. It must be in Hiens blood to ride on 2 wheels.
Hien and I watched motor bike and mountain bike crashes on 'Man versus Machine'. Getting on with life. Tomorrow is passport day and medical.
