Travel Calls Have Started

March has not been very kind to us families waiting for a referral.  Still not sure what the plan is with our Korean Agency and when referrals will resume. However, it has been a month of excitement and tears for our families waiting to travel.  On March 5th, our first batch of families finally received word that EPs were being submitted.  Two weeks later they started receiving notification that EPs were being approved.  This was the first phase of two in the final process of bringing their kiddos home.  This past week, these families received the call they've been waiting for over the last 16 months...Travel Call!!!  Calls began to trickle in on Thursday, and already 2 of our families are packed and ready to head to Seoul tomorrow.  Both have shared that they already have their first meetings with their little guys on the morning of April 3, which is the evening of Monday, April 2 our time.  Hopefully they will get to have at least one more meeting before coming home along with enjoying the sights, sounds, and foods of Korea.  P.S. Ladies, don't forget the secret mission (referrals???).


I have to say it was an exciting month to be part of the Korean adoption community and to have the Internet!  It has been a flurry of Facebook posts, forum messages, and blog entries sharing all of these wonderful moments. Watching all of this happen in real time - though through words - has been the best reality show with the story getting better every day.  Can't wait to start seeing posts and pictures from when they're are in Korea and once their home.  When we're ready to travel these families will be a wealth of knowledge was to places to stay, things to do, and generating a packing list.  It's so great to be connected with a group of individuals that can help answer questions and guide you along from their experiences.


Wishing everyone safe travels and a smooth (as it can be) homecoming!
