Today we learned of some exciting changes being made to the Korea program. This is how things worked in the past: A day or two after the adoptive parents arrived in Seoul, they would meet with the baby and foster mother at Holt for a few hours. Two days later they would meet again at Holt for a quick visit and then would be allowed to bond with the child in the hotel room for a couple of hours. On the night before or the day of departure we will official be given the baby.
On May 1st, the new arrangement takes place. The baby will have a physical the day before the adoptive parents arrive in Seoul. At the first meeting we will visit with the baby and foster mother for a few hours, take the baby to the international doctor and will then officially receive the baby...all in one day!!!! This will allow us to bond and sight see with him 3-5 days before leaving Korea.
We had originally planned to stay a few extra days in Korea so that we would have more time to bond with him. Unfortunately, Korea would not have placed the baby with us until the last day anyways, so there was really no sense to stay additional days. We are really glad they have made these changes. It will be great to actually get him right away and tour the city with him in our arms!
