No News






As you can see, we are passing the time by trying to do some fun things with the girls. We thought that we would throw in some answers to the important questions:

No, we have no news about Owen.

And yes, it's really excruciating.

As I write, on this last day of September, this is what we're waiting for:

1. We need U.S. Immigration to approve Owen's visa into the country (since he'll still be considered a S. Korean citizen when we fly home with him).

2. His U.S. visa needs to be processed.

3. His S. Korean passport needs to be issued.

How long do these steps take? Good question. We have no idea, nor does our social worker, since the government chooses to work at whatever speed it feels most comfortable with.

I really had thought we'd be traveling to get Owen in September; clearly, I was wrong about that. If it's not October... I don't know what I'll do. It's hard enough to sleep as it is, and I never stop thinking about him. This is a true leap of faith, this whole adoption thing.

Hope we have news to share soon.

I'm sorry to hear the South Korean government isn't moving as fast as you would like. The girls look fantastic; I'm sure they are thrilled to welcome home a new brother. Love to you all!
