Hello, old friend.  I’ve neglected you since we returned from Korea, but I’ve found it fitting to revisit you for our new journey.  A journey to our daughter, Chloe Hyeon-ji, who is also from South Korea.

I’ve also found it fitting to write my first post on Mother’s Day.  I’ve been reflecting on the day’s meaning, thinking about our children’s first mothers, and what a blessing adoption has been to us.  Though the wait can be unbearable at times (for those of you who have been following us on fb, you have heard my whines and cries), the rewards are so sweet.  All I have to do is look at our precious boy and see how far he has come in these last two years.  He has truly blossomed, and I can’t help but to think that we are the lucky ones.  I am so thankful to be his mom, and I can’t wait to meet our little miss to see who she is, what she’ll get into, and how she’ll make us laugh, too (maybe even when we’re not supposed to).

So, for all those friends out there following this new journey, welcome.  Hang on and enjoy the ride.
