Well on August 29th we heard from the agency that my husband and I were turned down by Korea. My husband suffered from Ulcerative Colitis and was so sick all the time he decided to have a major operation to remove his colon and large intestine. He lives a VERY healthy life now but because of this surgery Korea decided we weren't good enough. I was devistated at this loss, I had done so much learning about the Korean culture was learning words to teach my child and then this.
So when the agency gave us this bad news they also gave us an option. Our journey to have a family was not over but just starting again on a new path. We were told that Vietnam was an option that we should consider. I needed time to process the loss and to get my head out of Korea and on to Vietnam.
We met with our agency on September 6th and went over the information on Vietnam. Both my husband and I decided that things happen for a reason and just because the door closed for Korea it opened for Vietnam, so we decided that we are going for it!! Our baby is out there we know they are, there's a baby waiting for a forever home and they will be loved by us for ever.
So now I will begin my journey to a foreign land to find the child that will know us as Mommy and Daddy. We know you're out there little one, please be patient with us. We will be traveling the around the world for you so we can hold you in our arms forever.
