Good News!

Well we finally have some good news to share ... our agency updated us yesterday that the Ministry in Korea did in fact accept EP submissions and it was a "large batch". We were not expecting to be in the first group so it was no surprise that we were not submitted yesterday. It was bittersweet. I'm very happy for the families that will have their babies home in a couple weeks, but can't help but think if they had started in January as we had hoped, this could have been us. This large batch did include families whose children have special needs or they have issues facing them that would make them ineligible to adopt under the new laws in Aug. Again, while I understand the need to expedite these families, it is still very hard to continue to wait.  We are hopeful that another submission will take place soon and that we will be in one of the next two. It is looking more like travel will happen this summer which I have mixed emotions about. On one hand the kids being out of school could be a good thing. But then again, home all day with 3 kids ... whew!!
