Welcome to our blog!! The reason for this blog is twofold: we want to keep our friends and family updated as we wait for Baby Holt. We also feel it is important to document our journey for our little one to read later on as this is a chapter in his life-story. We seem to use "he" and "him" more often but the truth is, we don't know if we will have a son or daughter! Just like the good 'ol fashioned days, it will be a surprise ... the Korean government places their babies by need and not gender ... but that is fine with us, so long as we will have a baby in our home! So come follow us on our adoption journey - the ups and downs, the highs and lows - are you up for the ride of a lifetime??? You may be wondering how we got here ...
After several years of trying and failing to begin our family we decided it was time to explore other options. Loads of discussion and tears and research and more tears brought us to the beautiful country of South Korea! Our journey officially began in December of 2006 when we applied and were accepted into WACAP's Korea program. After completing the "paper chase" we submitted ourhomestudy to Korea in July of 2007. We are now at the most lonely place, the "Waiting Place". We are not expecting a referral until the fall of 2008 - but who knows what may happen ...
In the meantime, we are preparing the baby's room, preparing our home for a baby and trying to prepare ourselves!!
Until next time,
Erin and Mick
