Next step done.

James received his emigration permission from the Korean government on 5/22/08.

The EP is the Korean counterpart to the I-600 approval here in the U.S. These documents represent the Korean and US governments' approval for James to emigrate from Korea to the US for the purposes of adoption. The approval is great news because it indicates that our child's adoption process is moving forward.

Typically, children are ready to travel between 1 and 3 months after they have received this approval. Next, three key steps will occur in
Korea: Holt (the adoption agency) will obtain a passport for our child; then he will receive a visa medical exam by a U.S. Embassy-approved doctor, and lastly an entrance visa to the U.S. will be issued.

Then we can go get him!

His birthday is July 26, so keep your fingers crossed.
