GOOD NEWS and I've Decided..

...to try and become a better blogger. I've been doing some reflecting lately and took a look back at when I started this blog...1st post. I started blogging because I thought it was an easy way to track fun family events that we may want to look back at one day. I had no idea at that time that this would also be where I kept track of our adoption process. In looking at pictures in some of those older posts, I can remember exactly what treatment we were going through or where we were in the adoption process. But, I really didn't document much of that. For a very long time, I was pretty quiet about both of these processes. I guess because I was so afraid of the uncertainty that came with both. But, what I know now and am so certain of is we are one step closer to the next big step in the Adoption Process! Yippee!!!....a huge step closer to being able to go get Jackson.Today we found out we have been submitted for EP (emigration permission). This is what we have been waiting for for MONTHS. This is the document on the Korean side that had to be submitted for things to "start moving" again. We now wait for this permission to be approved. Once this is approved, we wait for our son's passport to be issued and his Visa Interview to be scheduled. It's so exciting to finally say that we can start counting down the wait in weeks rather than months. Our SW could not give us an exact timeframe (as with everything else in this process) but, her best guess for all of the next steps ... 6-8 weeks....early to mid May for Travel.. Yeah! I really hope things stay on track and everything goes smoothly.
