Baby boy

Well, only a few short hours after my last blog post, while still in Tennessee we got a call from our KY agency saying an agency that works in South Korea thought we would be able to adopt a waiting child we had inquired about. Let me back up, our agency posts birth mother situations on a group website and each family responds if they would like to be presented to that birth mother. A few weeks prior to our trip two little korean children were posted about. The problem was that Korea has BMI restrictions. I didn't meet them, but I was only missing it by a little. After getting a letter from my doctor that I had in fact lost weight since our home study and was continuing to do so, the korean agency needed to review everything to decide if they thought it would be a problem. I wasn't holding my breath. BUT, our agency called and said they thought it would be fine and did we want to pursue an adoption. YES! So we had records reviewed by a pediatrician, submitted our forms to the US government for approval to adopt an orphan from South Korea, etc. I won't bore you with the new round of paperwork but were moving forward. Korea could still say no, but we won't really know that until we get there. So here's to trying again, loosing more weight before we travel, and hopefully coming home with our son in the next six months!
