It's been quite a while since we did a blog post and we are long overdue. To catch everyone up on our lives, we have good news to share and sad news to share. Our sad news first; in May 2012 we were matched with our sweet Ian who is in Korea. We were in the process waiting to bring him home and after 18 months of waiting, found out that Ian was very ill. We learned it wouldn't be in his best interest to come to the US to be a part of our family. So in October, we made the painful decision to allow Ian to stay in Korea and get the help he needs. Needless to say, we were pretty devastated. We plan to sponsor him and will continue to send him gifts and lots of love. As Matthew, his 5 year old brother, says "even though Ian can't live with us, he will always be my brother". Ian will hold a special place in all of our hearts forever!
Now our good news! A few weeks ago we got matched with a new baby boy!! He is 13 months old and a cutie pie!! Our agency is working tirelessly to help us bring him home asap. Hopefully we will have good news on the travel process soon. We will keep you posted.
While we wait to bring home our new son we have decided to do a little fundraising to help us with the extraordinary costs of going to Korea two times (once for court and a few weeks later to bring home our son). Check out the awesome t-shirts Chris and I helped design with the terrific people at Bonfire Funds. We really love them! We need to sell at least 50 shirts by January 28th for anyone to get a shirt. We are almost half way there!
