We were very excited to get "the call" this morning from our social worker Julie that Owen's travel paperwork was all complete and we are able to go get him anytime now!
Today was spent in a whirlwind of making last-second travel plans since we are leaving late Saturday night (actually 1a.m. Sunday morning). That's only like 48 hours from now, but we wanted to go as soon as possible.
We will be in Seoul until Saturday, November 3rd and will fly back into O'Hare then. We are taking Asiana airlines, #235 on the way there and #236 on the way home. We will be able to check email there since we are bringing a laptop, and hope to update this page daily. Check back often, and we will tell you about our adventure to bring Owen home!
