Emme

One of the main reasons that adoption takes so long is because of governmental policy...not just that of the United States government, but Korea also. It seems that every division is just so backed up! For example, our little girl's visa takes two months to get and then there is more waiting after that. I just submitted her legal paperwork and our I-600 immigration form on Monday, so hopefully we will hear back from that late next week. Then, we wait. And wait. And wait. And then probably wait some more. But, this is what we signed up for. And I will wait as long as I need to in order to get my daughter home! I look at her picture every day and wonder what she is doing at that very moment. It seems strange to me that I know she exists, but she has no idea who I am! She will eventually....I hope she likes me.
We finally decided on a name for our little girl. Troy took a while to come around to it, but put it on the mother's ring he got me for Mother's Day. What a guy! We haven't quite decided on Emmeline or Emmelyn, but we will call her Emme. Also, we have chosen Joelle for her middle name. This is Jo for my mom, -ell for my grandma, and my middle name is Daelle, so it's close to mine. All in all, I am thrilled. My little prize...my Emme.
