In Korea

We met our son today!!!!! He is very cute! :)

....this will be a quick post because we are at a computer sales stall in a huge mall...

After a loooong flight, and a night on the "ondol" floor, we awoke this morning and prepared to go meet Cedar. It was an hour on the subway and then a nervous 1-block walk to Holt. While we were outside taking photos, the foster mother walked right by us with our little one snuggled underneath her coat! I recognized her, but we couldn't see him under there, and she kept walking (to the FRONT door!). We accidentally went in the back door -- oops! So many babies in there, getting check-ups, coming and going with foster moms, etc. It was fascinating to see this other side of things, after wondering for so long.

They took us to a little reception room where we sat and talked a bit with the social worker. She said our son was there already, and then suddenly the foster mother walked around the corner with him on her back! He is SO DARN CUTE :)

We got to spend a whole hour holding him and playing with him while we talked with the social worker and the foster mother. He was fascinated by "Grampa's" beard! Andy has a magic touch -- had HyunSoo/Cedar laughing out loud over and over! Our little one sat with us and played for a whole hour--happy, curious and wiggly! He has very strong legs, and loves to jump up and down a lot when you hold him. We had the camcorder rolling, and have photos besides. On the way there I could barely keep my (happy) tears in check. When we were with him, though, I couldn't do anything but smile :)

We will see him again on Wednesday (your Tuesday), and then we get him (for KEEPS!) on Thursday. WoooHHOOO!!!!! Oh my!!! He is so precious. The foster mom told us several times that he is a very easy baby. They also said he is afraid of cats! Uh oh! :)

We're off exploring for now -- will post more soon.

Amazing trip, this is.

Love, Andy & Rebecca
