.....And Then He Became Real.....

I remember every part of that day, the day when we held, and layed eyes on our son!!!! I remember how many layers of clothing he had on. I remember that he had a scarf wrapped around his neck, which we later found out was to help with his drool. I remember that his sweater said Happy. I remember his omma's face and how she chatted with our social worker while we played and loved on our son. I remember how she interacted with Jae-min and how he lit up when she spoke. I also remember arriving 30 min early to Holt and waiting in that room to meet our son. That half hour felt like it went on forever. I remember how then we were surprised when the door opened and in walked our social worker, Jae-min's omma, and Jae-min. I remember being so taken aback that we didn't get any pictures or video of that entrance, although it is forever etched in my mind.
I remember this day so vividly because this is the day I became a mother!!! I watched in total awe as Joe became a dad. To us, this was our "delivery" room. He was just delivered to us by some wonderful wonderful people!!!!

It feels like Jae-min has been part of us forever but it feels just like yesterday we met him at the airport. We love you Jae-min and thank God for you every day. Nana and Nanu

That day was probably one of the best days of your lives! Time goes by so fast and watching him grow has been great. The day that we saw pictures of our grandson for the first time on the internet was one of our best days!
Love & Kisses to the three of you,
