Welcome To My Journal

Thank you for following our trip to Mattix! It has been an incredibly long, exciting, and emotional journey, and it's finally time to meet our son. Thank you to all of our friends and family who have been so supportive of us during the last two years.

While we are in Vietnam, please send email to the address listed under "Personal Information" (AdoptingMattix@yahoo.com). While I will of course miss my very important emails notifying me of the great sales at Banana Republic and Overstock, I just won't have time to go through my normal email every day while we're in Vietnam. So....we've created a new address for the trip! (Once we return, please use our regular email addresses.)



Please note that there are some issues with You Belong right now! The headers should all say "Our" but instead thay say "My." Below our picture on the left, you should be able to see the beginning of the latest entry and you should be able to click on it. However, that function is not working. Finally, the photos are a big 'ol mess, so don't bother going through the photo album. All of our photos will be posted to the appropriate entry. They are automatically duplicated in the Photo section, but they're a big jumble and I'm not able to organize them. The site owner has indicated that they are working on the problem, but I have no idea when it will be fixed!
