It’s been a rough couple of weeks for us on the adoption front.  Our doctor wanted some follow up pictures to clear up a question.  Unfortunately for us, the timing for this request has been terrible.  On Monday, Korea had its Memorial Day.  So, the next day the request was received by Korea.  It took another day to get an answer.  And, it was not good news.  Our poor little boy has hand, foot, mouth disease.  He’s contagious for 3 to 7 days—so now we are looking at next week (at the very earliest) to get our pictures.

Which also means that he can’t have his visa physical done because he can’t come into the agency.  So, the hope of being in Korea for his 1st birthday is definitely fading.  (To be honest, I’ll just be happy to get the doctor’s questions resolved).  Disappointing, yes.  But not much that can be done.
