It's Time

As pretty much everyone has heard, the time we've been waiting for came totally out of the blue. Ilana, our social worker, rang us early last week. She had news that a baby boy, Min-wu was waiting for us in Korea. He's 6 months old, just newly eligible for adoption and he's ours! He also has a half sister in Long Beach which is just icing on the cake. His sister's family wanted to be sure we'd be open to having a relationship with them, which of course we are and we're anxious to get to know them. Unfortunately that part can't happen until we finish a mound of paperwork which we are diligently working on at the moment.

So Henry Min-wu McKeon will hopefully be home within 4-6 months, as quickly as we can push through his visa paperwork. In the meantime he is with a foster family in Korea. We are so thankful for the love they are giving him while we are working hard to bring him home and thinking of him every moment.

There's a lot to do between now and then of course but we're thankful to all our friends and family for their support, well wishes, advice and everything in between. It truly does take a village.
