getting closer

I won’t confuse you with all the terms and abbreviations; I’ll just say we’re getting closer. We have more paperwork out of the way and are now counting down weeks instead of months. How many? We’re still not sure and there really isn’t any time frame we can go by until we actually get a phone call telling us when Parker’s flight will be. We are currently waiting for 2 major things to happen; Parker’s visa physical then his visa interview. No, he’s not actually going to be at an interview. Once his visa application is filled out and he has his physical, the Embassy will go over everything to make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. If everything is in order he will be issued his visa and be ready to travel. We are having him escorted so our agency will have to line up and escort and once that is done he will be on his way home. We are hoping that all of this will go quickly but are prepared for it to possibly be 4-6 weeks, or longer.

8 month check up

I can't believe it, Parker is 8 months old! He had his WBC a couple of weeks ago and he's doing great. Parker is 19 lbs, has 4 teeth and right where he should be developmentally. He is pulling himself up and walking while holding onto furniture!

We are moving right along with paperwork too. As far as I can tell there are only a couple more things that have to happen before we get a phone call telling us that our son will be coming home to us. Hopefully not too much longer.

I600!

Ethan emailed the USCIS this afternoon to check the status of our I600, which is the form we’ve been waiting on for approval from the US. We have been approved!!! This is a big step in the right direction.

We are still waiting for Parker to have his Visa Physical and Visa Interview so Korea can approve him for his emigration permit. That all can happen at anytime now, let’s hope it is soon and all goes well.
