This meeting...well...it was challenging. When they first brought her to us, she really did okay, she even started playing with Steve's beard (Sophie did the same thing the first time she met him here in Korea!). We were told that she likes to play a few traditional Korean song-games, so we asked to see what those were and videotaped some really cute interaction between Morgan and her foster mother. Then, the foster mother left us alone with her by just sneaking out the door. Ugh. That's when the tears came...and came...and came. I guess the good news is that she reaches for one of us to comfort her when she's upset, but of course the bad news is that she misses her foster mother terribly when she is not there. It's going to be a long plane ride home, folks.
The foster mother came in and got her calmed down so that we could play a bit more (with her in the room) and Morgan really got a kick out of me playing peek-a-boo with her - hey, I'll play it for 14 hours straight if I have to - her smile is absolutely worth it!
Therefore, not a lot of pictures from this meeting. We will not see her again until Monday morning when we are set to leave for the airport and she'll be placed in our arms forever! That's 6 pm Sunday night for y'all, so please say a little prayer for our Morgan in the hopes that this isn't terribly traumatic for her...pray that we'll all get through this together...pray for her amazing foster mother who has taken such good care of her. We have a big transition ahead of us, so Steve and I are going to enjoy our last days here in Seoul as we prepare to become a family of four!

Will be sending many positive thoughts and prayers your way that the rest of your trip is enjoyable, the travel home is smooth, and the adjustment to a family of four is a happy experience! We look forward to hearing all the stories!
Paxton absolutely LOVED that toy in the pics from the computer room in Eastern! It brings back so many memories to see that room with her sitting on the table there! That's where we had both of our meetings with Paxton. Many prayers for the trip home!
Morgan is just so darn cute!! I hope your flight home goes more smoothly than you expect. I know you know this, but just remember that it's a good thing she's so attached to her foster mom - not that it will make it easier to see Morgan's pain.
Enjoy the rest of your time there!

SO excited for you and your expanding family! Thanks so much for sharing the experience.
I love girlfriend's doo-rag. Hollah. Look at that sassy chick. Barely one year of age and she is all ready a rock star!
