Our Journey

Well, I am not sure where to start. I have wanted to have a blog going since we made the decision to adopt. However, I am not too computer savvy.. Finally it is ready and I will share our adoption journey with you here. All paperwork is complete on the United States side of things. We are currently waiting for and EP(aka Emigration Permit) to be issued in Korea for Andrew to leave and come here. They only issue so many each year and now they are maxed out of their allotment for 2010. We really so wanted to have our little guy home by his 2nd birthday BUT that is not going to happen. He will turn 2 on December 19th. It is looking like we will travel in March or April of 2011.

The wait is so hard but we know he is being taken care of so well by his foster mom and dad. How great that he has had the two of them as constants in his life this far. I can't wait to meet them and give them hugs for taking care of him. It will be an emotional day for them and us. We are gaining so much and they are losing the child they have so selflessly cared for since he was an infant. Yet, they know when they foster this is why they are doing it....to help a child until their forever family comes. WOW! That is cool!
