We're home!

Just wanted everyone to know that we ae home and having lots of family time. I think the worst part for us was leaving our other children. My husband left after 8days so the rest of the stay was lonely for me.
Our new son is great! He turned 6 months old while we were away. He never had any medical issues (not even scabies) so he's doing great. He's very small for his age, even by Vietnamese standards. He eats very well although I had trouble finding formula that agreed with him in Vietnam. He is so sweet and has a very content personality. He loves all the attention he's getting from the other kids.
Our experience was fairly smooth although I believe our in country stay was longer than most (15 business day or 3 full weeks).
I have to mention that we flew Korean Air and they are wonderful. I've never flown Internationally so I have nothing to compare them to but the service, food, etc was excellent. My husband and I both had to switch our flights twice while we were in the country and they are very willing to help.

Congratulations!!!!!
Welcome home
We are thinking of using Korean Air....did they give you any kind of discount? I had heard some airlines give discounts for families who are adopting.
