Trying to occupy my time....



My mom gave this adoption baby book to me last year and I. LOVE. IT! I've been trying to pack and get things together this last week and that part is driving me a little bonkers so I've switched lanes for a day or so.  This adoption book has a family tree pictured on the inside pages for spaces to fill in up to Aiden's Great-Grandparents. It has pages for my family background along with Mike's family background.  I've worked on this for the last day or so and I'm about done with the first part, until we get him and then there's a few pages to fill in about that, and so on.  So Aiden has his very own baby book!

Since I'm about done with the first part of Aiden's baby book,  I guess it's back to looking at suitcases and asking myself is there going to be enough room for all our things, or not.  I ask myself this every time I look at those things on my bedroom floor.  You'd think I  already have the answer to that question, but no ...... no where close.  I think it's looking like our carry on bags are going to hold our clothes, which doesn't leave a whole lot of room.  But clothes are so over rated anyway, right? We may be wearing the same clothes 2 or 3 days, unless I can get access to a washer and dryer in our hotel.  Should be interesting since I'm sure the writing on them are in Korean!

After our Emigration Permit was approved on January 20th, the Korean Government should have  issued the Travel Certificate.  Then Aiden will have his Visa Physical, then the P3 with all of the important approvals will be sent to the US Embassy in Seoul for approval.  After all these things are done, they will schedule the Visa Interview, then after that is done he'll make his Embassy Appearance.  I have a phone number I can call to see if an office in Washington DC can  "see his picture" in their system.  That means Aiden has his Visa and we'll get our Travel Call very soon to say he's all ready!  I may call DC sometime this week, or I may not ....haven't decided yet...... stay turned......
