He Says...
- Good luck.
I’ve been interviewing a lot of candidates for open positions at my work. This isn’t anything new. I’ve interviewed hundreds of people in the last 10 years or so. But, these days it’s different. Some people have been out of work for a long time and you can tell they’re trying very hard. I’m thankful […]
- Good weekend
It started on Friday night. Hyunnie woke up every 30 to 45 minutes crying and wouldn’t stop until she was held. Then she’d cry if I put her down. I hardly slept and my arms and lower back were hurting. Of course she wouldn’t nap Saturday morning, so she had a 3 hour afternoon nap. […]
- Love and Hyunjung
When she was born, she was left completely helpless. She didn’t have anyone to take care of her - no mother, no father, she didn’t even have a name. But, God took care of her. The hospital called a local orphanage and even though they don’t take infants, much less newborns, they agreed to take […]
- More adoption stuff
Last Thursday we had another interview with our social worker, our new social worker. She’s nice, but I still don’t know what the purpose of the meeting was.
Today we went to a Korean party for people who have or are planning to adopt children from Korea. I have to say, American people are a lot […]
- Magic
Angela had a really bad day today. I came home early from work to spend some time with her. We decided to go out to eat at Hackney’s. It’s walking distance and a good place for Angela to get some of her comfort foods. While we were waiting for our food a magician came to […]
- One step back
Angela and I were supposed to have another meeting with our social worker tomorrow, but he canceled today because we were assigned a new social worker. We did, however, turn in our next round of paperwork. There’s one strange part that we had to sign acknowledging that we can potentially lose a lot of money and […]
- Step 3
We had our first meeting with our social worker today. There is a lot of paperwork to fill out and a lot of checks to write. When it’s all over we’ll probably spend more money on this adoption than anything we’ve ever purchased. This includes Liquid Fusion, cars, the wedding….actually there have been a couple years […]
- Step 2
We went to an 8 hour class today - Parent Education Training. You can be educated to be a parent in 8 hours?
- Bubble Girl
About a year ago I noticed that I got a rash when I wore one of my watches too long. I thought it was the strap. So I bought another watch from Target with a plastic strap. I got another rash - even faster but then I noticed it was around the metal parts. Based […]
- Getting started.
Yesterday we went to an informational meeting about adoption hosted by The Cradle. One useful piece of information we received is that there are only three or four placement agencies in Korea that can do international adoptions. Funny thing is each agency in Korean can only work with one agency per state in […]
