What a moment

It happened. All of our fears have been wiped away.

We were an hour early so we decided to walk around and we basically stayed right in front of the place. A few minutes later all of the foster mothers were showing up with their children. Now we were wondering if we were going to see them walk right by us. That didn't happen but a local came up to us and decided to have a conversation that neither one of us understood. He was very nice and it was funny. The Korean people have been pleasent. I busted out my Korean language book and pointed to the words that said "goodbye", shook his hand and walked toward Holt. We walked through the front door and right into James and his foster mother, foster father, foster brother, and the fathers sister. We all recognized each other instantly and there were tears immediately.

WOW.

His little foster brother (4th grade) handed me a half a heart necklace with his name engraved and showed me the other half around his neck with James name engraved. Another WOW moment.

We proceeded upstairs for our meeting and sat in a room with everyone together, they asked Rachael if she would like to hold him, and WOW another moment that will be stuck in my heart forever.

We each gave each other gifts. The foster family gave us framed photos of James ( he is very photogenic). You'll see them soon.

After the meeting, which was about an hour, we saw the Dr. for his final exam. James is just getting over a cold and congestion, so the trip home may be tough.

We took some photos together and video (I'll be posting soon).

The foster family is Catholic and was very happy to know that we will be christening James.

I'll write some more later. I'm going to work on the video now.
