EP's Approved!
After 378 days (or just over 12 months) of waiting since receiving our referral, I am please to report that the Ministry of Health & Welfare finally approved our son's Exit Permit giving him permission to legally leave Korea and begin his new life in the United States. Yay!!!
And with the March 5th EP batch now approved, the wait is on for the final step: our notice to travel!
Sometime in the next few weeks we will receive a call that Kwon's paperwork has been reviewed and approved by the US Embassy in Seoul, and he has made his requsit appearance at the Embassy for his Visa Interview, and is now finally ready to travel from Korea, and begin his new life with his Forever Family! So we jump into high gear and get ready:
- We change the ring-tones on our cell phones (this is one call we don't want to miss!)
- And we begin washing the baby clothes that has been in storage for months.
- And we start the mad dash to get all the baby gates up.
- And we head out to stock up on baby food...
- And Diapers...And Puffs...And Melts...Oh My... :o)
And we get ready for a call from our social worker who (I just know) will shout the two words we've been waiting (it seems) a lifetime to hear:
TRAVEL CALL ! ! !
Tears of joy. I cannot wait to see him in your arms.
