Sweet Dane

We dropped off the medical waiver in Grand Rapids yesterday morning. I am hoping it was overnighted to Korea yesterday, at the very least today. We should expect a travel call next week. I am not getting my hopes up but I really hope this is true. I feel like he is never going to be home - like this whole process is a dream.
Sweet Dane, I hope to meet you soon! We love you so much! Love, Mommy

I have a tradition of buying our kids a special first photo album. This is a picture of the one I bought for Dane. I usually go for something a little more modern but I love how the airplane is flying the "Our Little Boy" banner. I thought it was appropriate since our little guy will be coming home on an airplane.

This is a picture of Dane's crib. We set it up in our room. After he adjusts to being home we will be moving him to David's room. I can only imagine the craziness that will happen in that room :)!

"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.
