Comments:I love your web page. I alo want to know if you would be willing to talk with me in regaurds to your adoption. We are in the process right now of adopting from Vietnam and i would like to know what your experiences were like and everything that i could rack out of your brain. This is such a huge step for uss especially sence we have no control of what takes place.
Thank you for your time

Comments:Hi. I'm Vietnamese and came across your webpage while surfing VN adoption stories. It looks like you and Patti are very happy together! You seem to be a wonderful, loving mom. It is good that you try to keep her in touch with her Vietnamese heritage and culture. There is a VN heritage camp in CO for VN adopted children like Patti that I highly recommend. Best wishes for you both.

Comments:Say, your Hmong pictures page has two serious problems. One, you are using copyrighted materials without the owners permission (I'm the owner of one of the photographs), and two, you are not providing the photos on your server, but are displaying them from the owner's servers, eating up their sometimes costly bandwidth to display their images on your page. That's not very kosher. I'm sure you're new to the Web and didn't know about this, but please don't do that. If the owners give you permission to use their photos, then post them on your server. The best solution, though, is to simply provide text-based links to the pages that have the photos you like so people can go there and the owners can be recognized for their work.

Patty is so beautiful, and you are so radiant when you're with her. Having spoken to you I can't think of a more beautiful, warming and loving relationship than the one you and Patty share.
I wish you and Patty every happiness as mother and daughter.

Comments:Charlene, Your daughter is precious! Stan kindly forwarded me the link to these pictures, and I was so delighted to get to see them. You will recall that the last time I saw you I said you looked fabulous. I guess happy people seem to radiate a kind of glow and you sure have that glow--motherhood definitely totally agrees with you! You have done a wonderful thing, and I hope you and Patty are blessed with much happiness in the years to come. Best, Shelby
