This part of the wait is the hardest. We know Julian is waiting to come home and we are ready for him. I think about him more and more every day. We are excited yet nervous. Every day I check the mail, email, and phone messages with hope that I will hear something good. We have begun to work on a memory book for Julian to show him where he came from and how he became our child.

Met Julian Ji-Won. He should be home in November!

Referral

We got our referral!!! Julian Ji-won O'Brien should be home in about four months!!!!

This is the picture that the officials in Korea will see of
'Mommy and Daddy'!

Purchases

We have been trying to figure out what we can purchase for a child in which we don't know the age or gender. My parents got us a beautiful white baby/toddler bed. I think it will be okay for either gender. We had to give up our huge computer desk and replace it with a cutsie green table, just big enough for a toddler. The laptop fits sideways on it, along with my mirror. Tom has been working on painting the room in a tropical motif. I will post pics a bit later. It's pretty cool. I hope he/she likes the beach as much as we do!
