After a 14 hour flight we arrived safely here in Seoul. We cannot yet check into a room and the stores have not opened, so we had breakfast and are hanging out. We are exhausted but running on adrenaline. It is almost 8 am here and we will be having our first meeting in 6 hours. We are HOPING for an early check-in because I'd love to take a shower before meeting my little boy and his foster mother. If not, we rinse off in the hotel bathrooms, and make the best of it. No worries.
I really have no idea what to expect from our first meeting. My goal is to not turn into a crying mess (which is difficult because my eyes seem to constantly be brimming with happy tears). I am hoping that he is comfortable with us. I brought some treats, some bubbles and a few toys to bribe him into my arms.
I hope to post again soon...WITH PICTURES!!!

Thank God for the internet. Do you have any idea how difficult it is for all of us back home waiting for your updates? I am thinking of you constantly and don't think I am going to be able to sleep tonight just knowing that my nephew is being hugged by his mommy and papa for the very first time.
Yippee, you made it! I hope you get into your room soon so you can prepare to see your boy!!! I cannot wait to see pictures and will be sure to wake up early tomorrow so I can keep checking for updates!!!!!
