July 3, 2007

What an exciting day! Not only found out I was officially on the waiting list...But also received the referral for my baby boy!

Nguyen Van Hai was born on March 23, 2007 in Ninh Thuan Province.

I have picked out the name Isaac Berke for him. He'll be called Isaac. Berke is short for Berkemeyer which he's being named after my grandparents 'Mom' & 'Pop' Berkemeyer.
His birth middle name - Van - just happens to be a family name.....so i decided to keep that to also be part of his name.

Isaac Berke Van Hettel
