Beach Baby

Saturday afternoon, after Jae-min's nap we packed up and went to the beach for alittle lunch and some fun in the sand. Jae-min loved eating outdoors on the patio and trying a grilled cheese sandwich for the first time. He also loved digging in the sand and dipping his toes in the water. He would have dove right in head first if it wasn't so cold!!!!We would like to address our previous post about Jae-min. It has been brought to our attention that it offended some of you, which was not our intention when posting it. We posted that snippet because we sort of wanted to show both sides of our experience. We wanted to share that the last three months have not been all peaches and cream and I think most of all we were just looking for some support, some encouragement that it will be ok and that we're doing what we should be doing. As we wrote that post we in no way were thinking it would offend. So, we're sorry if you felt that way. Really, we were just looking for some hugs!!! This blog is a format to share our experience and our feelings and although its been mostly positive, we think it important to discuss the not so positive aspect too. So we reserve the right to post our feelings, whatever they may be. Early on in the process our social worker said that adoption is not for the faint of heart. We totally agree and many others would probably agree that parenthood in general is not for the faint of heart.
