Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

INTRODUCING...Princess Halle-Grace Khanh Devine











Somebody is a HAM, the "life of the party", loves to have her picture taken...and is already spoiled!!! You would NEVER believe this child left an orphanage 72 hours ago! It's amazing! She is saying DA DA...what is up with that?? Mama is the one who is going to live in her birth country until her leave is over...and she gets a visa! HATS OFF TO MY MANAGER, KANE ROGERS & GENZYME for being so supportive!!!
Today we are getting Halle-Grace's Vietnamese passport (could not do that yesterday). She just took her second dose of antibiotics and is feeling SO much better. No more smelly nose! WE FOUND AN APARTMENT....when you are waiting on a visa it is much less expensive to stay in an apartment that will rent by the month, etc. vs. a hotel room AND the hotel room is cramping wild woman's "new princess style"! She knows she is princess now!

We love you all!

Shannon, Jason & Halle Grace (keep praying for her US visa so you can meet her)!

Halle-Grace has turned into Hannah's alarm clock. All I have to do is tell her there are new pictures of her on the bolg, and she jumps out of bed!! These, just like all the others, are adorable. Give her a BIG hug and kiss from her Aunt Suzie. We love you all!!!

That smile is just too precious!! I'm so happy that you found an apartment. How close/far away from the honking horns is it? I don't remember if I told you or not, but there is a children's store called New Kids...I think it's actually spelled Nu Kids. Anyway, they have anything and everything that a princess needs from clothes to equipment. The cab drivers from Hanoi Taxi seemed to know of the place. Just thought I'd send that info. your way. Praying for a speedy visa!! Can't wait to get the girls together.

You are right, she is really a HAM! Stephanie(at work) says when you bring her by here she is just gonna eat her up. She loves kids anyway, and we have all been praying for Halle-Grace, so she is just so special.
Can not wait for you all to get home!!!
I will try to send photos of Gabby tonite. Not tooo good with technology, you know.
Love
Mom(Granny)

Oh Shannon, Halle-Grace is so adorable. My heart is just full of joy for you and your husband and what a blessing this little angel is.
I am so glad you found an apartment to stay in - I know that must be a huge releif.
We will continue to pray for all three of you, here in North Carolina, and hope to see you post your itinerary for the three of you to return home very soon to the U.S. very soon.

In His Word,
Teresa Gilbert

New pics of 'the princess' are what motivates me to get up early and stay up late! We are so excited for your family and can't wait to see you home! Prayers continue for good health and a VISA! Love to you all - the Crow family

Popa Gene said we had to get a king size bed because she sleeps just like Hannah. She is something else. MaMa Parker loved seeing her pictures. She hopes you get home soon. That is everyone's Prayer. Next week at this time I will there spoilling that rotten little girl. I can't wait. Love You, Moma
