Children are Coming Home (Finally!)

It is with great joy that I announce....children are finally joining their families! After 9+ months of no travel home, two U.S. families have officially wound their way through the process and received approval to bring their children home.

While there hasn't been movement in our case, the fact that families are moving through and reaching the final approval is a great sign. We are hopeful that more and more families will join the ranks of those two pioneers! 

Tony and I continue to take the information we receive and the details of the current process with a grain of salt, knowing things could change before our turn comes up. We have learned, however, that families are finalizing in Korea with an IR-3 Visa, instead of the previous method of receiving an IR-4 Visa and finalizing 5 or 6 months later in the U.S. This is great news as it means Oliver will be legally ours when we come home (there will still be some legal actions needed once we are home, but official custody will lie with us). Yeah!
