Honour handled her first plane flight extremely well. It was a little sad seeing the fading lights of her city as we took off. We will bring her back again one day.We are now in Hanoi where we will be for the next two weeks applying for her passport and visa to travel back with us. We were told this morning that there has been a delay in getting her required paperwork from her province in order to apply for her passport. We were supposed to apply today, but now it looks like either tomorrow or Friday.
She is still very sad. She has chosen to latch onto me for now. I mean that literally. It’s been difficult to even visit the bathroom without her. She has been sleeping between us, and has to be touching me in order to sleep. If I turn over with my back to her, I feel her nails in my back until I turn back to face her. During the night I woke up and when I opened my eyes she was just laying there with her eyes open staring into my face. She probably feels like she’s falling and is looking for a safe place to land. She will find that place in us.
Exhaustion= sleeping standing up. Really!

We are praying for you and her. We love you guys!
Glad to hear she's doing well with Dad, though we well understand the clinginess! I'm sure it will pass soon enough. She's such a brave, beautiful little girl!
Glad you are in Ha Noi now! We continue to say prayers for you all!
Oh, bless her heart. How scared she must feel. But I know she must sense too the love you guys have to give her. What a wonderful family she has and she will soon come to see that!
When I look back at when we first got Nicholas, I truly believe now that he was in shock for the first week or so, seeing the difference in his persona then versus now.
Enjoy your time getting to know your daughter!! It was a LONG time comin but finally you are together as a family.
Oh, poor baby. It's great that she's seeking comfort in you during her grieving. I hope her pain is eased soon.
Glad to hear you're in Hanoi and we look forward to seeing Honour's beautiful smile when she's ready to show it off :)
