Woo hoo! We have EP. This means the Korean government gives us permission to adopt Caroline. The quoted time for Passport is 1-2 weeks. HOLY COW maybe we could travel earlier than December/January??? COME ON CIS APPROVE OUR I-600!!!

Just like everyone else this weekend, we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Ryan had a blast feeding the animals and climbing the pumpkins. He really liked riding the pony, however, a little girl started crying and it got him upset. Daddy ended up walking beside him.
Picture 5 The M family. We rode [...]

Today we drove up to Foyil, Oklahoma where we visited Totem Pole Park. Our friend Mary loves visiting Route 66 landmarks and we’ve been tagging along. This place was pretty cool because it took this man 9 years to make the largest concrete totem pole in the world. Pretty impressive. Ryan [...]

Jan, our social worker, is going to Korea on the 5th and we were very lucky to send a 1 gallon ziploc bag with her. You get to send clothing, toys and a gift for the foster mom.
I can’t believe I stuffed all of this into the bag! 2 winter outfits, a necklace for [...]

I helped to hold [...]

We got our legals! WOOHOO!
It’s YOUR turn girl!! Let’s hear some good news from OKC!

It’s been almost 2 weeks since we accepted Caro’s paperwork and we still haven’t gotten legals. *sigh* Jan said it’s been taking roughly 2 weeks, so I am praying it is this week. After we get them, we’ll file the I-600 again and hope that the other one won’t mess us up.
In other news, [...]

if you didn’t already notice the title up there, Caroline! Ya’ll have such great taste Thanks so much for your input. We were leaning towards Caroline because that was the other name we had picked out in case of girl/girl twins. Mike really wanted to make sure nothing else caught his eye but [...]

What an AMAZING GOD we have! I REALLY didn’t think we’d get a girl this time. My prayers were answered!!! I KNEW I had a daughter in Korea and I was SO sad when our other referral fell through. My heart was broken for the daughter I wouldn’t have. I have prayed every day [...]
