Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
So I’m a little behind. I actually sent this package with a friend at the end of May and I am now just getting around to writing about it. However, he gets the packages when he goes into the center each month around the 30th, so I’m only really a day late in posting this […]
MoreWe got our photos of Edric’s first birthday with him all dressed up in his traditional Hanbok. As I’ve mentioned before the first birthday is a big deal in Korea and there is a very formal ceremony that takes place. The ceremony and celebration is known as a Dol. As part of the ceremony the […]
MoreSome days are easier than others to think about packing up packages. I know that Edric is getting great care, but each package also is a reminder that he is not home yet, and I wonder how many more I will have to pack before he is home and running around the house with his […]

MoreJust asking for all of you that have been supporting us and praying for us during this process that you would continue to. The process has kind of come to a stand still right now for a number of reasons and could use prayers for those that are in charge and making decisions. We […]
MoreAnother family is traveling to Korea to meet their little one and have their court appearance and so they have volunteered to take a package for us. I really had to pack this zip lock baggie to get everything to fit (I actually had to tape the top in order to keep it from […]
