Today we woke up early and got ready for another wonderful day in Korea. We had a tour planned through our adoption agency starting at 9am. We decided to be adventurous and take the subway there and when we got off to go to Holt we were facing in a different direction and we became lost in Korea for about 1/2 hour. Yikes!! We made it to the Holt office alittle late but everything turned out ok. We have had so many adventures on this trip and we think its going so well because we're just taking them all in stride and enjoying every experience. We met another family today that we've talked with online and did the tour with them. It was another fantastic day. They pick up their son tomorrow as well. The people continue to be amazing and gracious and today with our guide we all ate at a traditional Korean restaurant. It was delicious and Joe and Steve (the other dad to be) ordered beers and toasted their new arrivals.
Oh, and our social worker from Holt, DJ, has been trying to recruit me to come work in Korea for alittle while. They need developmental specialists. She kept bringing babies out yesterday for me to look at and trying to coax me into a job. Who knows?
So, tomorrow will be the beginning of the rest of our lives. We travel to Holt in the afternoon and have our pick up meeting at 2pm (Korea time). This is it. The moment we've been waiting years for. It still feels so surreal but I'm sure when we get back to our room tomorrow it will be a weight lifted off our souls. We can't wait. It's going to be the hardest thing we'll ever do to say goodbye to his foster family and take him away from everything he knows. Please say alittle prayer to heal his heart quickly and for everything to go smoothly.
We may not be able to post tomorrow, depends on how Jae-min does. So, light your candles tomorrow night and guide us home!!!!!!!! We need to feel your energy during our long flight.
See you on the other side of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!
