I have some fantastic news! JD has EP!!!!!!!!!!!
Say what?!? It's his emigration permission - this means the Korean Govt has granted him permission to leave the country. This is the part of the paperwork process that has caused the extra long wait (can you say MONTHS) for me and countless other adopting parents.
So the next, and final, phase of the paperwork process happens at the US Embassy in Seoul. It is there that he will be granted his VISA to enter the US. Once that is done, we get our call to travel and to bring our little prince home!!
My US agency tells me to expect to travel mid-April. Part of me thinks they are off and being overly optimistic and that we won't travel until end of April/early May (i.e. I originally thought we'd travel in December and then was told February ... which clearly didn't happen). I just don’t want to get excited and then be disappointed yet again. HOWEVER, from things I've heard from other waiting parents from my agency, mid-April is actually a possibility.
YIKES. I. AM. FREAKING. OUT.
But I'm also VERY HAPPY!!!!! :)
