Someone on my Korean adoption forum shared this with the rest of us. It is a very interesting article that I would like to share with everyone. Many have asked about some of the things talked about in this article. I would be interested in everyone's response, so leave me a comment on your thoughts.

It has been a month since Ryan's EP (emmigration permission), and no update. We appreciate all the support everyone is giving us!!! The wait has been pretty easy for us because we have been so busy, particularly with me being out in the field for work the last three months. But the wait is getting harder for us, and we don't know when he will be home. It could be next week and it could be December. Please continue to pray for his quick travel to us. We need positive thoughts from everyone. Please no negative thoughts!! We have no control over when he comes home, and we have not received an update about him since the end of July. I am sure you can at least try to put yourself in our shoes, and realize how much the positive thoughts are needed. Thinking negatively at this point will only make the wait feel longer and harder. I hope Ryan is home by Halloween because he has this really cute costume waiting for him!!

This is your month! I just know it!
Thinking of you and praying that Ryan will be home very very soon.
Thanks for sharing the NY Time article. I think there is great value in keeping children in their birth country but there is even more value in enabling birth mothers to parent. S. Korea is making steps in the right direction with their recent adoption reform but they have a very long way to go. We (USA) too export "unwanted" children (usually AA boys) mostly to Canada. How I wish there were a way to put an end to that by making it possible for birth mothers to parent and by US families opening their hearts to the possibility.
