TRAVEL CALL

Maxwell is coming home next Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holt Oregon (National Office) called my mobile phone and it just came up as "Oregon." So instead of saying, "Hello," like a normal person, I yelled, "ARE YOU CALLING TO TELL ME THAT MY BABY IS COMING HOME?!"

The lady said really calmly and warmly, "Is this Robyn Shumer?" So I shouted, "YES. WHEN IS MY BABY COMING HOME?!" And then she gave me all of the details and was really lovely.

I jotted everything down but keep looking at the incoming call log in my phone to make sure that I didn't imagine it! He comes in on Friday night!!!

Maxwell has a VISA!

Yippee!!!!

Look how big I am!

On February 4, 2008 I weighed 17.4 pounds and was 28 inches long!

VISA UPDATE

After reading on the Holt Bulletin Board about several Visa Interviews being scheduled, I mustered up the nerves to call DC AND MAXWELL'S VISA INTERVIEW WAS TODAY! Dear God, bring our baby boy home!!!!

Visa Update

Hot off the press! Our agency finally connected with the agency in Korea to find out what the bleep is going on with Maxwell's Visa.... "...the VA (Visa application) is arrived and he is on the way for the visa since yesterday. We expect to get the visa coming Friday. I'll keep you posted re flight schedule. Thank you."

So of course that wasn't enough information for me! I asked whether Korea works on travel plans while they process the Visa and the wonderful answer is YES!!! Getting closer...

The Visa...

Where o' where is Maxwell's Visa??? We've been patiently waiting since January 30th ... yesterday I finally got a response from the director of our program and she said, "I will ask Holt-Korea today if they have found the visa approval at the Embassy and if they can make a guess as to when the baby might be ready for travel." Say a prayer!!!
