This picture shows Amy's parents, Shirley and Clint, in the lobby of the Amari Boulevard Hotel. Shirly and Clint accompanied us to Thailand, and were with us throughout the entire adoption process.

Thailand is full of all kinds of food. If you like American food, there's plenty of that (the Thai people seem fond of it). There are even a number of U.S. food chains operating in Bangkok, including Tony Roma's (depicted here).

Jariya, initially, was leery of men in general. We're not sure why this was. But Clint, Amy's dad, seemed to be more okay than most men.

The Department of Public Welfare (DPW) interviews people who would like to adopt Thai children. Thais take good care of their children, and foreign adoption is relative rare there.

We adopted from Thailand precisely because the program there is small and well run.
