Santa came to our house early this year and brought the best gift ever....... On Dec 2nd we were matched with a beautiful baby boy from South Korea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can't believe it and it all feels so surreal!! Today we had an appointment with our agency to officially accept his referral. We met with the head of the Korea team and the first thing she said to us was "oh my, he is the cutest baby" with this huge smile on her face. I sat a little straighter in my chair with pride thinking "we think so too". He was born on 6/12/08, so just turned 6 months old. We think he's perfect.
We are over the moon with excitement and can't believe this is really happening!!!!! We have waited soooooooooooo long and when we saw his picture we instantly knew HE was the one we had been waiting for. All the tears, heartbreak, and worry (well, not really the worry, it's just a different kind of worry now) have begun to melt away and our dreams are coming true. Yahooo!!
We now have a pile of acceptance papers to fill out and notorize and then mail back to our agency. We are thinking to travel in about 3-6 months to bring him home. There are certain things that have to be completed before we get that travel call, but we'll be patient.
We can't believe how lucky we are!!! We can't wait to travel half way around the world and meet this little man!!! This is what we have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shannon & Joe,
It finally happened! He is so adorable and we can't wait to meet him. It was the best Christmas present we could have asked for.
You're all in our prayers.
Love, mom & amp;dad
Congratulations Shannon and Joe!
He's very cute!! Now begins the final leg of your journey. While the wait over the next few months may seem longer at times than the entire wait you've endured to date, all the angst of waiting will evaporate from your memories instantly when your little one is place in your arms at last. Enjoy every moment of the journey. It will be unbelievable! -Greg and Cara
