.....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!!!!
