Jae-min was funny tonight when he came around the corner and saw the number 4 in feathers, he immediately sat down next to it and said "cheese"!! Yikes wonder what he'll be doing in the many months to come as the count down continues.
He then found it funny to feel the feathers and re create his own #4. We asked Jae-min again what he wanted, a brother or a sister.....and his response....
"A sista, silly". The juries still out buddy, but we think either way he'll love them just the same!!!
We went out for some Korean food tonight to celebrate. Jae-min ate, and ate, and ate, and had lots of fun.
We got word this month that travel times have been extended for our Korean agency. Families who received their referrals in July and after won't be submitted for their EP until after the first of the new year, making travel for them around Feb. As you can imagine they are heartbroken and our hearts go out to them. Obviously this does not directly affect us at this time as we don't even have our referral yet, but we're not sure what this will mean for the future. It is not uncommon for travel this time of year to slow down or stop, but its still scary. I can't imagine having to wait 7-8 months after referral for a travel call. We were so lucky with Jae-min to have our travel call come within 3 months. We just hope when our time comes travel will be quick. But....as we are often reminded in this world of adoption you just never never know.
Please keep these families in your thoughts as they celebrate the holidays without their little ones!!!
