Yesterday Jim and I went into Manhattan and signed all of the paperwork to make our adoption of Julian official. It was an incredible feeling to walk out of the adoption agency and know that he is really ours. Although I knew he was our child as soon as I saw him, it is now legal. There is nothing that can change things now. We may have to wait a while before he comes home, but we know that he is coming!

Now we have started to prepare a package to send to him and his foster family in Korea. We’re going to send a camera, a photo album, a blanket, and a letter to his foster mother. I’m having a very hard time with the letter though. I mean, what do you say to a woman who is caring for your child on the other side of the world?

I’ll let you know as soon as I figure it out.
