Happy Gotcha Day!!!

Our last meal as a family of three! And one person didn't even participate


On our way back to the hotel to get ready for our meeting, we picked up some flowers for Minseok's foster mom


Ready to go. We have so much to take we have gotten a cab instead of trying to do the subway with all of this


Neylan Minseok and his mom were already there when we go there


His last check up. He has a little cold/bronchitis (I really think it's just teething) so they gave us some medicine.


Our social worker and "match maker" DJ. she and Grayson were dressed alike today


Our family grows. Both of us did well until the very end when the foster mom handed him over and she started crying. I was holding him and she came up to him and was telling him that i am his omma now. She said it over and over so that he would understand. Break my heart!! I just hugged her and cried. She is so sweet and took such good care of him. He was her 20th child to care for. She gave us some very nice gifts. A nice hanbok for his birthday, a stack of pictures, some pajamas, a few professional pictures, and some shoes.


Grayson is embracing his new big brother role!

We're home! Temporarily.


Spent a few minutes on the playground


Monkey see, monkey do


This bowl and spoon kept him entertained for quite some time


Both boys are asleep now. It took a little bit longer tonight. Minseok reportedly sleeps through the night until about 6 am. We'll see! We put him in his pea pod. Will see if he stays.

This is the last post before we leave Seoul. We have had an amazing trip that will never be forgotten. Neylan Minseok is doing really well. No crying today, until Grayson jumped on him. Ate well and fell asleep without much trouble. Please be praying for our trip home. For his health and for all of us to be able to rest some.
