Good things happening

Well, we received word yesterday that our I-600 (permission to bring Dane to the U.S.) was approved on Monday the 10th!! I will breathe easier when we actually get the approval letter in the mail. Now our I-600 approval will go to the NVC (National Visa Center) who then forwards it to Korea, who then finishes the other required documents for him to travel home. Hopefully we will get a travel call in the next 6-8weeks. Of course anytime would be great too!
Danes baby/memory book arrived today along with the maternity clothes that I ordered for Holt's (Korean agency) maternity shelters! I can't wait to start on Danes's book! And I definitely can't wait to bring our donations to Korea and meet our son. The wait seems to be getting harder and harder everyday! As David says, "Everyday it gets closer, right Mom?"
Here's a pic. of our cutie with his care package. I had to block out his foster mom for privacy reasons.

"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... For I am the Lord your God..
~Isiah 43:1-3

Syndactyly is a term to describe webbed fingers or toes. In most cases the webbing is only skin, but in some cases, the bone may be fused together. Surgery is performed to correct the condition.

Polydactyly literally means "extra digits." There may be an extra thumb, small finger, or, less commonly, an extra digit in the central part of the hand. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies.

Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear. In most cases, only one ear is affected. In that case, it is called Unilateral Microtia. If both ears are affected, it is called Bilateral Microtia. In addition to the physical characteristics, there is a possiblitiy of some or all of these problems: About a 40% reduction of hearing in the affected ear, problems locating the direction from which a sound comes and ear infections.
