Referral! It's a Boy!!!
Hi Everyone,
We got our referral call last night! HOORAY!!! Our son was born on January 12th and was a hair over 7 lbs. We are just so thrilled!
Our social worker called last night around 7:00 p.m. right after we had had the "no referral today" discussion over dinner - what a fantastic surprise!
Our referral packet is being put together and we're meeting with our social worker on Friday to receive it. I can't wait to see his sweet little face!
I'm on cloud 9!

Now the really hard wait begins. Of course the good news is that it's the beginning of the year so you don't have to worry about the Korean Gov't hitting their exit passport limit. Here's to a quick I-600 approval and an speedy travel call

RE: Referral! It's a Boy!!!
Thanks everyone!
Amy, you should be up next, right??? What agency are you with?
Malie, you are so right about not getting stuck in quota - I am truly thankful that our timing has fallen into place and that we won't get stuck in that long, long wait.
Lauren, our wait from here should be about 3 or 4 months and we're going to meet him at the airport. With Korea, families have the option of traveling or having the children escorted. We've decided to escort because of limited leave time for my DH. Then we'll go back as a family in a few years to visit the country.
We're waiting to see his picture to decide on a name, but Theo is our front runner and is pretty far out front. :)
I'll keep you all posted tomorrow after our meeting! I just can't wait!!!

You must be so thrilled! Theo is an adorable name! And, duh, I knew from research that you could use escorts for Korean adoptions - this is something we will probably do if we pursue the Korean adoption route because of our 2 girls - kind of hard travelling to another continent with 2 small children! Best of luck to you!
