Eli Thanh Lockwood

First things first, we finally came up with a name for our son. His name once he gets to the United States will be Eli Thanh Lockwood. We really wanted to choose a first name for him like we did for Katie and then be able to use part of his Vietnamese name for his middle name.

We also have been doing some research about the place where he is living right now, the Da Nang Orphan Nurishment Center, and have gotten really lucky in finding a family who was just there adopting their son in December. They had many pictures of the orphanage and the most exciting thing for us is that we have found that they also have pictures of Eli. In the pictures that follow, he is the one in the blue and white sweater. It was such a blessing to hear from this family that the orphanage where he is, is clean and the children seem very well taken care of.
