Where have we been?

I know it's been a while since I updated this, so I figured I'd put a quick post in just to bring this up to date.

China's list slowed WAY down, so we started looking for other avenues. We looked into a Korean adoption, and adopted a little boy in 2008. His name is Andrew, and today is his 4th birthday! He's been home for a little over 3 years now, and he's doing great.

It's been a blast watching him grow and learn, the things a 4 year old can remember (gotta remember to watch out).

This summer we took a trip to the Sand Dunes in Southern Colorado, and just a couple days ago, he was recounting things we did and places we stayed during that trip, in DETAIL. He has also described things that happened over a year ago, to the point that my wife and I look at each other wondering what he's talking about because we don't remember them. Then he'll tell us something we DO remember and we're floored at what he remembers.

The process in Korea was nothing like China. First, we dealt with an agency in Korea, not the Korean government. We also had the option of NOT traveling to Korea, which, we thought was not in our, or Andrew's best interest, so we traveled to Seoul to bring him home. Also, adoptions from Korea are not finalized in Korea, but instead in the US, about 6 months after bringing the child home. That was a great day!

More later, but I thought this would bring things up to date a little
