I am a single mother to an adorable little boy named Oscar (for purposes of this blog only, sadly) who happened to be born in Vietnam. I have recently embarked on my quest to find a sister for Oscar from Nepal. I’m happy to have you join me.
I am so impressed that you went through with the adoption, that it’s going so well and that you are planning on adopting another child! I look forward to hearing more about that!
I sure enjoy your blog. It is happy & bold…fun to read. Oscar is a cutie. I also am an adoptive mom…to 2 siblings from Russia who had never met until we adopted them. It has been a wild ride, but a great ride.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Greetings from a fellow single, older adoptive mom! My Adam is two and a half and has been home just over a year. I’m enjoying catching up on your blog.
Hey there,
I’m a single mom, too. I just got home with my son from Guatemala a few months ago. I also am thinking about adopting again and was also thinking about Ethiopia. I may not start for another year. Is Vietnam closed to singles now? I need to get back in the game and get caught up on the latest laws. Looking forward to staying in touch.

I’ve been reading your blog only recently, but came across your post about seeing a ped opt. We are seeing a ped opt. for my daughter for the reverse reason: brain disorder/seizures which may manifest themselves into eye problems. You are right – the dissatisfaction with the medical community mounts quickly. Take care – I’ll be thinking about you and Oscar.
Nora, that must be terrifying for you (and of course your dauther)! I hope the doctors are able to take care of your daughter’s medical issues very soon.
My name is Agnes I’m a graduate student at NYU in the public relations program. I’m writing a paper on the reputation of Vietnamese orphanages and need to obtain research on the subject. I came across your blog and was hoping you can complete a 5 question survey about your adoption experience.
I am so glad that I found your blog on posh mama. Take care.
