.The local Khmer community planned
the event. The ceremony was very interesting, watching the monks
chanting and praying. It was wonderful to see the people, hear the
language, and see the beautiful outfits on the women. Oh, and the food
was awesome too! People were very kind to us. Many asked about Sarah
and her adoption. It was a very positive experience.
Jim and Jeanne Malmgren Melvin from
St. Pete attended with their three beauties: Maya, Metta, and Lia; and
Steve, Sarah and I drove over from Orlando for the event. It was great
to spend time together with Jeanne, Jim and the girls. I was also able
to make contacts with some Khmer folks who will keep me informed of
other events coming in the future.
I hope we can get more
families to come to the event next year! We know now that Khmer
planning is "go-with-the flow" and often last-minute, so we can keep
that in mind for next time.
Thanks again to Jeanne for her
information gathering.
