We met our tour guides, I.Y. and J, along with two other adopting families from Norway on Wednesday morning for our Seoul City tour. The tour started nearly in front of our hotel at Gyeongbuk Palace–the largest palace in Seoul. The artwork painted on the word work was so amazing. Yup, that’s Mia with Ronald...

Ups and downs
**UPDATE** I have a little more time now. Here’s a run down of how yesterday went. The weather of beautiful. We got out to explore Namdaemun, one of Korea’s largest markets. We also shopped at Shinsegae…think Nordstrom with a Wegman’s in the basement. It was the perfect place to pick up last minute gifts for...

To Korea or Bust!
**UPDATE** I forgot to mention a note about timing. We receive Ty’s travel call on the 365th day we’d had his referral. Original Post Follows… Well the day started with DC telling me that Ty had another visa interview for tomorrow. Still not sure what that was about because an hour later, our social worker...
