Little miss K turned 10 months old May 25th.
Miss K typical goes in for her well checks around the 25th of the month. About a week ago we asked for our first of 2 updates that we are allowed to ask for. We hope we get some new pictures and the update very soon.
We dropped off a care package for miss K shortly after we accepted our referral. It sat at the agency for about 3 months. It finally went to Korea at the beginning of May. So hopefully she got her care package when she went in for her well check on 25th.
Hoping and praying we get an update quickly. This wait is getting really hard. I can’t believe we still have a possible 3 more months to go.
We have started planning G’s 3rd birthday. I can’t believe he’s already going to be 3. We started the process for miss K when he was 18 months old. By the time she comes home it will have taken 2 years. Very different then G. From start to finalization it took 1 year. It’s crazy how things change so quickly.

Feels like a marathon.
I feel like we are running a marathon with no end in sight. We are approaching 4 months since our acceptance went to Korea. We turned in our Paperwork Jan 29th but it didn’t go to Korea until Feb 1st.
We are basically waiting in line for Kayla’s paper work to be submitted to Ministry for emigration permit (EP). EP gives Kayla permission to leave the country.
We are guessing we will be submitted in Aug and travel in Sept. I’m praying that we get submitted sooner but it does not look good.
We are keeping busy with Garrett and putting some final touches on Kayla’s room. We got a ton done this weekend. I’ll have to post pictures when we get it all put together. It may be a while though. I think we are going to wait until we get submitted for EP to finish her room. We have not had the heart to move the dogs to their new location. They are going to be very sad. Currently their beds are in Kayla’s room. They need to move downstairs. I have a feeling we are going to end up with 2 big 70+ lb dogs in our room in our bed. Oh well. It will be just like Sat/Sun mornings. Sat and Sun usually go a little something like this. G gets up and comes in our room and wakes us up. Then he goes and sees the puppies and then comes back to our room with the puppies. Before we know it we are all piled on our bed. I think we will need a bigger bed.
Since we are about half way thru our wait we asked for an update on Kayla. We hope to find out more about her development and growth and how she is adjusting to her new foster family. She had to switch families in March. Hopefully we will get an updated picture too.
Good news is Kayla should be getting her care package May 25. She goes in for her 10 month well check on or near this date. We had dropped off our care package shortly after we accepted her referral and it sat at our agency for 3 months. Care packages go with local traveling families so it took a while for it to leave the agency. I’m going to make sure I check to see if any care packages need to go when we get our travel call.

Time to bring this Blog back to life
Time to revive our blog. It hasn’t had much attention lately. We plan to update our Blog while we are in Korea. So here we go again. Hang on and enjoy following us to meet our daughter in South Korea.
On Jan 21 we got the call about a beautiful baby girl in Korea. After submitting her file to the U of M for them to check it over we accepted her referral Jan 29th. Our Official acceptance didn’t go to Korea until Feb 1st.
Fast forward a little. We are 3 ½ months into a 6-9 month wait to travel to Korea to meet our daughter.
We have named her Kayla Min Jee. Born July 25th in South Korea. I was looking at our blog to see what we were doing when Kayla was born. The day she was born I was on call. My friend had inspired me to start on Kayla’s room. So Mike and I were busy priming and painting Kayla’s room the day she was born.
The first 3 months flew by. Now it feels like time is standing still. We hope to travel in late summer early fall. The next few months we will be busy buying gifts and putting the finishing touches on her room.
Come back and check for updates. I'm sure we will be busy and more things will happen now that we are getting a little closer to traveling.
