We will be leaving to meet our son James on Friday. We land in South Korea on Saturday night and have Sunday to explore Seoul. Our first meeting with James and his foster mother will be on Monday morning (Korea time), which will be Sunday night here, at Holt International (adoption agency in Korea). The meeting will be about 2 hours. After the meeting James will be going home with his foster family.

Depending on how James reacts to us we may have an additional meeting on Tuesday. We will also be touring Seoul on Tuesday.

We will be back at Holt on Wednesday. This is "THE DAY". We have a Thursday am flight so he will be coming back to spend the night and forever with us. This is going to be the one part of the trip that we have both been scared of. Taking James from his foster family who have raised him since October. They have gone back and forth to the doctors, changed many diapers, fed him, put him to sleep, seen him wake up, played with him, and loved him. We are eternally grateful to them for their commitment to be a foster family.

We plan to lock ourselves in our hotel room after that, get acquainted with our son, and get ready for our flight home.
