Better Late than Never...




Well, I should have started blogging about the adoption and my sweet baby boy along time ago but if you know me...you know I am always a little behind the times.




So, I guess I will go back to the beginning. On May 2, 2008 I found out I was a mama! The call came from Bobbie (our social worker) at a little after 11 am. I was at work and I could tell right away that she was excited. My heart started beating fast and then she told me "You have a son!". I was beyond thrilled and never managed to work again that day! Drew was born in S. Korea on 11-9-07.




So...fast forward to 8-25-08 at 10:00 am Korea time and Richard and I are sitting in the computer room at the guesthouse waiting to meet our little one. In walked his gracious, generous and wonderful foster mom with Drew on her hip. I jumped up and said hello in Korean (sounds like 'On Yo Ha Say Oh') and she put him in my arms. Besides my heart melting, I could tell this little baby was sick. I knew he was burning up with fever. His poor little face was so swollen, he had a very bad cold.




I held him, Richard held him and we fell even more in love with this boy. Our little Boo.




I will get you more up to speed tomorrow...
