First we would like to thank those that called or emailed to offer words of encouragement after my mini meltdown on Friday. This wait suddenly became so hard and it really didn't get any better over the weekend. We tried to keep ourselves busy shopping for gifts for Jae-min's foster family and for all those that have loved and cared for him in Korea. We had fun and we even found a few outfits for little Jae-min. I've been knitting Jae-min's blanket like crazy this weekend as it has made me feel close to him. Amidst all this business something strange kept happening. When I least expected I would realize that I had tears streaming down my face and I could not stop. They would come without warning at the most inconvenient times. Joe has begun to call me waterworks and laughs now when he looks over and my face is covered in fresh tears. They only last a moment and then I'm ok again. I guess it's the adoption hormones talking!!! They're saying enough already, bring that baby home.
I would like to say a special thank you to all my adoption blogger friends who completely understand how incrediably difficult this wait is. I find strength in knowing that you get it. You get how we carry these children in our hearts and love them already even though we have never met. So to you I say thanks and looking forward to the day when we all have our babies home!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you are feeling a little better. I can only imagine how you two are feeling...and even that won't do it justice. Thought about the three of you all weekend, little silent prayers, but tonight Maria said a special one for Jae-min to come home to his mom and dad. If good things come to those who wait, just imagine how wonderful your little guy is going to be, however, the waiting has been long enough and we all want to see him home.
Love, Amy, Chris, Nick and Maria

Dad & I have turned on the candle for Jae-min and it won't be turned off until he comes home. This is the hardest thing that the two of you will probably ever go through. He'll be home soon, I can just feel it! Keep the faith!
Love, Mom & Dad M
Joe and Shannon, I have prayed so much this week for you, I know in my heart that Jae-min will come to you real soon. I wait every night for the phone to ring to hear Joe's voice dancing with good news. Love you guys. Mom and Dad A
