Good News Everyone!

That's right...we have good news to share!!! The emigration permit (EP) for Levi has been issued and approved by the Korean government! EP is the process by which the Korean government allows a child to leave the country for adoption overseas, and this is the approval we have been waiting on for 8+ months.

.

What's next? Levi's passport will be issued in 1-2 weeks, and we should have travel clearance in 2-4 weeks from then. So in a nutshell, Levi will be home in 3-6 weeks!!!!

I have 3- 6 weeks to teach Adam how to change a diaper because ready or not, here comes Levi!

Our Korean Prince!

Here are a few formal pictures taken at Levi's first birthday. He looks like pure royalty! Hopefully, he won't make us refer to him as Prince Levi!

Levi is wearing "hanbok" which is Korean formal attire worn at special festivals and celebrations. Adam and I had the opportunity to try on hanbok while in Korea, and let me tell you, it's not easy to get into that stuff. In fact, it took Adam, me, and a helper to get me into mine. So the fact that Levi is still smiling after all that fuss makes me think he is one easy going kid!
