New photo!!!


We were so excited tonight to open new photos of our little cutie! We're confident that he's being well fed! :-) It reminds us of how in love we are with our son, how grateful we are to be on this journey, and how thankful we are for those who are now caring for him.

And it's certainly timely, since just yesterday we received his "legals" from Korea (basically legal proof of his birth and current guardianship by our agency) which today we used to file a visa petition with the USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services). Hopefully we'll hear in the next month or so that he's been approved for a visa and emigration permit, then we'll have a couple other hoops to jump through before the visa is issued. We'll receive the "travel call" anytime between late May and August. Whew! It's really happening!

We're blessed and happy -- thanks for your support and prayers!

Jana and Michael
P.S. Yep...he's still "Baby Tae" at this point! :-)

  3. Welcome to the family Tae!

    You've been given the best!! We can't wait to meet you and see what you and those adorable dimples look like up close (and squeeze your cute cheeks!). You look to be a VERY happy baby and definitely loved by your new mommy and daddy.

    You are going to love your room - especially the beautiful wall hanging. Your name is even on the wall in BIG letters! My favorite is the moon and stars rug which you will surely have many happy hours playing on.

    Have a great trip to your new country. Don't forget to drink a bottle or eat during take-off and landing so that your ears pop!

    See you soon! XOXO
    Cousins Jon, Michele, Sienna, Mia and Steen Christensen
