Waiting

Nothing new to report on the adoption saga journey. Monday will be the beginning of our week 10 since our acceptance paperwork was sent to Korea. We were originally told to expect a 10-14 week wait. Our particular partner agency in Korea is s l o w e r than slow right now because they had some changes to staffing, so it is very probable that our wait will be closer to the 14 weeks if not longer.

Once we get that magical call saying Mary Kenzie is ready we will buy plane tickets to go as soon as possible. We will probably go based on whatever is the cheapest over the following days. We had debated over taking Riley or not but finally decided not to because he is so young and wouldn't really get a lot out of the trip at this point in his life. It seemed like a lot to take him on such a long flight...and then we will have meetings with Mary Kenzie's foster family and we will want to focus on her so it would be a lot for Riley to have to just sit there. There's nothing dangerous at all about taking him back to Korea...we hope we will have the chance to do that in a few years when he will remember being there...we just thought this probably wasn't the right time for us to take him. Instead, he will stay in town and be spoiled rotten by his grandparents!
