remembering

Thinking of friends winging their way, at long last, to be united with their little boy.

What a Christmas it will be for them, Seoul will be cool, in both senses of the word! I remember someone telling me she picked her daughter up from Seoul in -10C (it may have been lower) and arrived home to +40C.  We had snow in Korea the day before we flew home with our own beautiful child.



Tiggy. The morning we arrived home in Australia. 

We stopped a while at the airport to have a coffee with friends and family who had come to welcome our precious boy to his new world.  He sipped a little 'oo yoo' and fell into a deep sleep in my arms.  I love this boy with every ounce of my being and find it almost impossible to believe that I didn't give birth to him.

Hi Emma,
We feel all those thoughts with every step we are taking in Seoul. Couldn't go two weeks without reading your blog so had to log on and I find your beautiful "remembering" post. What a gorgeous boy!
We are so looking forward to seeing a pair of eyes gazing at us as we too feed our own boy his bottle. Kim and Mick xxxx
