Light at the end of the tunnel

This morning I filed Ty’s finalization paperwork.  For Korean adoptions, one does not adopt in country but Korea actually transfers guardianship to our agency.  The actual legal adoption takes place about 6 months after placement.  We had our last post placement visit yesterday which allowed us to file today.  Now we just sit and pray […]
