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.
