Imagine being pregnant for 3 1/2 years and not knowing your due date.

Frustration, anxiousness, happy, sad…the range of emotions our family has gone through during the process of our adoption (first with China and now with Korea) has been wide and deep.  This morning we got the call we have been hoping to get for 3 1/2 years…the call to go pick up our new daughter, Halle.

It has been a VERY emotional last couple of days.  Yesterday we finalized our decision to adopt a beautiful baby girl from Korea.  This whole process has been 3 1/2 years so I’m sure you can imagine how thankful we are that this day is finally here.

Her Korean name is So Yeon Kim and she is 6 months old.  She is being cared for by a foster family just outside of Seoul, Korea.  The next steps are for all the paperwork in Korea and on the US side to be processed which unfortunately can take up to 6 months.  Thanks to everyone for their support and good thoughts.

I am now skinny enough for Korea!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I went in for my physical this morning and I am now well within the weight restrictions for adopting from Korea.  This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done and there is no way in hell I could have done it without my incredible wife and awesome friends to support me.

Thanks everyone!
