It was exactly 3 years ago today that Jo-Ann and I went to our first program meeting at the agency. We were contemplating adoption for almost a year before we decided that it was the right time to pursue our adoption. We took a 3 day trip into the city for my birthday with the main purpose of going to the first 2 informational meetings at our agency. Now exactly 3 years later Jo-Ann and I took a trip into the city to go to the agency to make our adoption of Julian official.
It is a great feeling realizing for the first time that this child is ours, officially. The paperwork will be sent tomorrow to Korea and our official countdown to Julian can start. Now it is all legal stuff that needs to happen. Basically stuff that is out of our control. We did our part and now we wait for Julian to be cleared to come to the United States. Visa’s need to be issued, etc, etc. The main thing is he is ours and we can take the time to finalize his room and make preparations for his arrival.
We were also told that we will be updated on Julian’s progress while we wait for him to come home.
