Foto Friday (and a lot more)

***WARNING:  This is LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG post.***  I think I left off on Friday of our trip…or did I leave out Thursday morning? Thursday AM In last minute, Corkum fashion, we had left gift buying for the foster family until Thursday morning.  We headed back to Namdaemun and Shinsegae in an effort to secure gifts for the […]

Sleepless in B'more

We chalked up the 3 hour screaming episode Sunday night to jet lag.  Last night we decided it was just a bad habit.  I wish I had figured out before 4:30 this morning that I had to be laying, not just in the room, but on the floor right next to the crib.  Live and […]

We're back

Yup, I’m posting in the same time zone as you now.  Our flight arrived in record time (over 1 hour early).  I guess that makes up for the delay when we left.  Ty adjusted better to our house than to our hotel room.  I can tell I’ll spend the next week training him on what […]

Ups and downs

**UPDATE** I have a little more time now.  Here’s a run down of how yesterday went.

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 […]

Which do you want first…?

The Bad News? Ty has still not been issued a visa.  I’ll continue to stalk DC’s visa call center… Or the Good News? We got an update today on Ty.  It’s dated January but that’s been the average turn around time.  He’s doing well and it gave us a picture of his personality and schedule.  […]

On The Alert

The hardest part of this waiting game is the ups and downs, the starts and stops.  At first, we were told Ty could be home as early as December…then February…the we were sure over spring break…now it’s mid-April and there’s still no guarantees.  The last year would have looked a lot different if we had […]
