Well Baby Check

We got a new WBC!

Beau's check-up was dated May 23rd. Beau now walks holding onto furniture! Looks like he will be walking soon!

Weight: 18.1 pounds (He gained 3 oz since last month! Hey...any weight gain is good, right?!)

Height: 28.3 inches (He was 27.9 inches in April)

Congratulations Sarah!

Raleigh and I spent the weekend in Nashville celebrating my cousin Sarah's high school graduation. We are so proud of you Sarah!! She will be attending Belmont University in the fall.

Showered with Love

Last week, the sweet kindergarten teachers at my school gave me a wonderful shower for baby Beau. All of the teachers were invited and it was held at Twisted Taco in Buckhead. It was a fabulous afternoon filled with love!

Thank you....Mandy, Kenny, Christina, Lana, Shea, Dara, Sarah, and Nicole for such a special shower!!

There were G's on the back of all of the chairs! (our last name starts with a G)

These beautiful arrangements were on all of the tables!

Nicole and Emily (Nicole and I had classrooms right next to each other at school! Emily taught first grade this year but next year she will teach kindergarten.)

This is a group shot of all the kindergarten teachers.

A Big Day

It has been quite the day! Lots of excitement!!!

-Raleigh and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary today!

-Sweet Beau turns 11 months old today!

-Today was my last day of school!

-We got an email from our social worker that our EP was approved!!!

I am off to celebrate!! So much good news for one day! Thank you Jesus for the blessing of my wonderful husband, the completion of another year of teaching, and for bringing us one step closer to our son!

Congratulations Kaitlin!

Over the weekend we celebrated my cousin Kaitlin's college graduation. She graduated from Belmont University in Nashville! We are so proud of you Kaitlin!!

In our seats waiting for the big event! (Kaitlin's boyfriend Kevin, Erica's fiance Matt, and my cousin Erica)

We got a new picture!

Today when I came home from work, I had an email with 3 new pictures of Beau! We definitely were not expecting any new pictures, so this was a huge blessing!! Beau usually goes in for his WBC (well baby check) closer to the end of the month, so I'm not sure if he had a visit to the doctor today or not. Either way, we are thrilled to have the new photos. Beau is about 10 1/2 months old in the picture. He will be 11 months old on May 26th.

We love you Beau!

So...what is next?

Our friends and family are so excited to help us welcome Beau home and often ask what is left in the process. I thought I would try my best to give an update on the remaining steps of this journey. For all of you adoptive moms that have already done this part, please correct me if I miss anything.

Steps to Bring Beau Home

• I 600 needs to be approved. I spoke to USCIS yesterday and the lady I spoke with said that we should be assigned an officer this Thursday or Friday. Once you have an officer, some people are approved that day while other families wait a week or two more for approval.
• EP (emigration permit) needs approval. Next week will mark 3 weeks of waiting for approval. The last few batches of EPs were approved in 3-5 weeks, so we could get approval next week or at least by the end of May.
• After EP approval, Beau will make an appearance at the embassy in Seoul. (EA=embassy appearance) During his EA, Beau will have his picture taken for his Visa. (From what I know, the Visa is actually a small stamp/picture that goes inside the passport.)
• Next, Beau will have a visa physical (VP).
• If the doctor that checks out Beau for his VP notices a special need, he may need a Class B Waiver. A Class B Waiver is basically a form that states that you aware of your child's special need. You sign the form and have it notarized and send it back. This can add about a week to the process. You never really know if you will need a Class B, so we will just wait and see.
• Then...Beau will have a visa interview (VI). Obviously it is not much of an "interview" since Beau can't talk, but it is still a part of the process. :)
• Finally, after VI we will wait for our travel call (TC).
• Since we have decided that Beau will be escorted home, it may be a few days or weeks after our TC before Beau actually comes home because the adoption agency will need to find an escort and arrange flights.

So...that is pretty much it....I600 approval, EP approval, EA, VP, possible Class B waiver, VI, and then TC.

How much time will all of this take? If I knew, I would be sure to tell you, but I don't know!

Family Shower

On Saturday, I was given a beautiful shower! It was a shower with all of my sweet family! The hostesses were my sister Angie and my cousin Erica. Everything was so special.

Look at those cute booties!

(from left to right) my cousin Courtney, my cousin Erica, me, my cousin Sarah, my cousin Kaitlin, my sister Angie (Courtney's baby Landon is due on June 30, so our boys will be about one year apart! So fun!)

Submitted for EP!!!!

I just walked in from the grocery store and checked my email. I saw an email from our social worker so I quickly opened it. She says that we are being submitted for EP (Emigration Permit) tomorrow!!! This is a HUGE step!! I am beyond thrilled!!! It can change at any point, but right now it seems that once you are submitted for EP, it takes approximately 3-5 weeks to be approved!

Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary;

praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;

praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,

praise him with the harp and lyre,

praise him with tambourine and dancing,

praise him with the strings and flute,

praise him with the clash of cymbals,

praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.

psalm 150

God Loves Beau more than We Do

(If you haven't read our last post, we are naming our son Beau.)

Adoption is full of highs and lows. The waiting is not easy. This is just me being totally honest.

Today was awesome because we got our April WBC (well baby check). Yeah!! More on that later! It is such a joy to get updates on Beau and see how he is learning and growing. It sort of makes it feel real, too. Like he is really our son because they are sending these updates to us, and no one else. :) So this was definitely an adoption high point today!!

Then when I got home, I got more good news. We had requested a CD of images from the hospital in Korea. The nephrologist that we have been working with at Emory told us that he might not have to redo as many tests if he was able to see the actual images of ultrasounds and kidney scans that have been completed in Korea. So I talked to our agency and they requested the CD. It was in the mailbox today! Yippee! On the CD case was a picture of the hospital. I thought this was so neat because I know that my son has been there! This was my second adoption high point of the day! God is so good!!

Then, I checked an adoption forum. I have learned a lot about the process by reading other people's stories. Today I noticed that lots of people posted that they were submitted for EP (emigration permit). I am SOOO thankful for other families that were submitted. This means that things are moving along. Truly I am happy for them! But there was also a sadness. I was praying for a miracle and hoping that we would be in the April batch of submissions. It was a long shot, but a possibility. I noticed that at least one family with a February acceptance date was submitted, so it wasn't totally out of the question. It is possible that another batch will be submitted in April, but recently there has just been about one batch per month. So...we will continue to wait and pray that we make the May batch.

I'm being honest here....I went to take a shower and a couple of tears accidentally came out. I really am excited for the other families (mostly December and January referrals/acceptance dates) but I was hoping we would be one of the families to be submitted for EP in Korea.

And then the Lord whispered something to my heart. The Lord reminded me that He has known Beau long before we ever did. As much as we love our son and want him home, God loves him even more. God's timing is just that...God's timing and not ours.

Raleigh and I have talked many, many times throughout this process about how God is using the adoption to bring us closer to Him. Thank you Lord for allowing us to be on this journey!

Now...back to the fun part!!!!

The Well Baby Check was completed April 19th.

Current Weight: 17.86 pounds

Current Height: 27.9 inches

The WBC also says that he can pull to a standing position and plays ball with the examiner! Also, he sits up alone without back support with back straight. So fun!! Even though he didn't gain any weight this month, he did get .3 inches taller and learned some new skills! This is the first WBC that has stated his ability to pull to a standing position or play ball!

Keep learning and growing Beau! We love you all the way from here to Korea!!!

We have a name!!

Throughout the adoption process, Raleigh and I talked about names, but we never made any final decisions. We wanted to wait until we saw our little treasure's picture before choosing a name.

Well, we were officially matched with our son on February 18th, so it has been about 2 months...and we finally have a name.

His Korean name is Si-won, which means righteous helper. Isn't that cool? We knew from the very beginning that we wanted to keep Si-won as part of his name.

So....drumroll please........

Our son is Beau Tanner Si-won (our last name), and we will call him Beau.

Raleigh chose the name Beau and I think it is just perfect! Beau is such a southern and classic name and we think it suits our son just perfectly!!

I chose the name Tanner as part of his middle name. (Technically he will have 2 middle names, Tanner and Si-won.) For those of you who have been following our story from the beginning, you know that God used the Chapman family's story to pull our hearts towards adoption. A little background...the Chapman's oldest daughter, Emily, went on a mission trip to Haiti when she was young. After that trip, she began asking her parents to adopt. She would even leave little notes around the house telling her parents why they should adopt. Well...fast forward a bit. The Chapman family did adopt three beautiful daughters from China. Maria Sue was the Chapman's youngest daughter. She went to live with Jesus on May 21, 2o08. I still remember hearing the news of the tragic accident. I was on my way to school to teach kindergarten. I walked in to my classroom in tears and God continued a mighty work in my heart. (You see, in April of 2008 Katherine Arnold Wolf suffered a massive rupture in her brain. This event caused me and Raleigh to have conversations about what it really means to pray without ceasing. Also we were reminded to truly intercede for others in a bold way.)

So...after sweet Maria Sue went to be with Jesus we continued to learn more about prayer and going to the throne of Heaven for those who cannot go themselves. Raleigh and I wanted to boldly pray for the Chapman family. God is the only one who could grant them peace during a time of great pain. At the end of the school year in 2008, Raleigh and I had planned a quick trip to Destin to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. We always make a stop at the bookstore to get some new beach reading. I bought The Lost Daughters of China by Karin Evans. I read the book in one day and my heart was gripped. In the 2 months leading up to the beach trip, the Lord had used Katherine and Maria Sue to teach me about praying for the needs of others in a fresh way.

When I read the book, my eyes were opened to the needs around the world. Who does Jesus send to be his hands and feet? Us!! Normal sinners. People who love the Lord are called to love people. After reading the book, I went back to the bookstore and purchased every book they had about adoption. Fast forward about a year....the Chapman's oldest daughter Emily married her best friend Tanner. They were married at the Chapman's house. The same home where Maria Sue went to be with Jesus. The Lord was giving the Chapman's a taste of His beauty for ashes. He was making all things new.

Ok, so I know this is getting long. But I wanted to honor Steven and Mary Beth Chapman because the Lord has used their family in a big way to lead us to our son. God used their story to point us toward adoption. I love the name Tanner and it seemed to be the perfect addition to our son's name. I pray the name is a small reminder to me that God makes all things new!

We are glad to have finally chosen a name that we think is perfect for our son!

Beau,

Your mom and dad are so thankful that you are in a loving foster family, but are eager to have you home. We love you so much and cannot wait to hold you for the first time. We have been working on your nursery! You are a blessing, an extravagant gift from the Lord. We are so thankful that God chose us to be your mom and dad.

Love,

Mom and Dad

A Very Special Day for a Very Special Family

(Hi Katie...I hope you don't mind I *borrowed* this picture from f*c*book)

Today is a very special day for a very special family!

Raleigh and I met Jake and Katie while we were living in Birmingham. Raleigh and Jake attended UAB together for grad school. We became great friends and had (and still have) lots of fun together.

After finishing grad school, Raleigh and Jake (and our friend Ara) all got hired by the same company in Atlanta.

So...we all moved to Atlanta. About 2 years ago, Katie and Jake welcomed their precious son Charlie into the world. It has been so fun watching him learn and grow.

Jake is in the army and was deployed approximately one year ago. Tonight is a special day because Jake is coming home! After one year of deployment, he is coming home tonight to be with his wife and son.

Dear Jake, Katie, and Charlie,

Words cannot express our thankfulness to your entire family. Thank you for the sacrifices you made for our country.

Jake~ Thank you for being so brave. I cannot imagine being away from home for an entire year. We cannot wait to spend time with you! Raleigh is looking forward to a fishing trip! And hey, before long Charlie will have a new friend to play with!

Katie~ You are so brave! You have been the picture of grace for the past year. I know that life was not easy with Jake being gone, but you did it! And now it is over! Praise God! Katie, This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt makes me think of you, "A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." You have been so strong.

Charlie~ Your dad is a hero! A real live super-hero! That is even better than the heros in comic books. You are so blessed to have such a brave dad.

Welcome home Jake!

With much love and gratitude,

Bridgette and Raleigh

**If you have time, please leave a comment, thanking Jake for his service to our country! Thank you!**

Newest Colts Fan

Growing up in Tennessee, we were always "Manning" fans. You know the ones...Archie, Eli, and especially Peyton. Since Peyton plays for the Indianapolis Colts, we are Colts fans! My mom had to go to Indianapolis for work today and my dad went with her. They stopped by the merchandise shop and picked out a jersey and football for the newest Colts fan...

My First Mom Task

Yesterday I felt like I had my first job as a mom. I went to a local pediatrician for an initial meeting. This was a pediatrician that had been recommended by a friend. I feel like the doctors that have been recommended to us are all wonderful, so it is going to be more of a personality preference as we make a decision.

So... the meeting went well and I felt very comfortable with her. While she looked over our son's latest Well Baby Check (WBC) she noticed things before I mentioned them to her. This made me feel good. For example, our son is noted to have mongolian spots (birthmarks). These birthmarks tend to look like bruises, so it is important to have a doctor document them. She mentioned this to me before I even brought it up.

Also, she knows the pediatric nephrologist that we have been consulting with. That could be helpful because I really want to have a "team approach" as we make decisions about surgery.

Speaking of surgery, obviously we won't make any decisions until our son is home and seen by a pediatrician and nephrologist, but it is interesting to think about the timing. Some people would recommend that we wait as long as possible once he is home so that it does not interfere with the bonding process. I can understand this perspective. However, I also can see wanting to have the surgery quickly. Obviously, we will rely on the doctors' feedback when we make a decision.

Registering

I love how Raleigh makes everything more fun! Here he is being silly while registering...

Not too long ago, Raleigh and I went to Babies R Us to do some registering for the baby. We had started the registry online, but then decided it would be easier to go into the store to finish.

Raleigh decided he needed to try out the crib mattresses before we chose one. Ha Ha!

Please Pray

(Post below taken from Suzanne's blog, www.joiningthejourney.blogspot.com)

Tesney and Greg Davis are trying to adopt a little boy from Russia who has Downs Syndrome. His name is Kirill. The judge said no, that he would be better off in an institution for the rest of his life b/c of his "medical condition". She called him socially unadaptable. Is satan at work or what?!?!

As we all know, special needs children are typically not cared for in orphanages. The caretakers do well to take care of the "normal" children. You throw an extra "need" to be cared for at them and they feel overwhelmed. These children ARE the FORGOTTEN ones. IF they can get the chance to receive love and the medical care that is needed, they will flourish...satan knows this.

Here is the link to her blog which tells their story. They are appealing the decision, but things do not look good. They are asking for everyone to spread the word (especially to politicians, celebrities, news media, etc... anyone that can help get the word out so that the judge will be pressured to reverse this decision.)

Most of all PLEASE PRAY for this PRECIOUS little boy and the children like him who await their court dates, facing the same judge.

Our Eyes Opened

Some Things You Only Get to Do Once

Some things you only get to do once...like become a mom for the first time. (Of course if we eventually adopt again or have biological children, those memories will be just as sweet, but different.) I am trying to enjoy every moment with Raleigh as we prepare to bring our son home. Lazy Saturday mornings listening to worship music and drinking coffee. Afternoons reading together sitting on the back porch enjoying the sunshine. Weeknights cooking dinner and watching American Idol and HGTV. I really want to enjoy every moment. I know these months with Raleigh, just the two of us, are precious and I want to cherish every moment of it. I know that in my head.

But sometimes my heart tells me differently. I pray for a miracle. Big miracles. I pray that our I-600 is approved quickly. I pray that we receive EP quickly. I pray that our son is home by his first birthday on June 26th.

You only become a mom for the first time once, and I want to enjoy all of it. I am trying to find the perfect balance. Loving and embracing the time with Raleigh, just us. Dreaming of what it will be like when there are three of us at home, instead of two. Knowing and trusting that God is in control of it all. He was in control in the spring of 2008 when He put adoption on our hearts. He was in control in February of 2009 when we made the quota. He was in control as we waited 18 months and 18 days for our referral. He is in control now.

People ask us a lot if we know when our son will be home. The answer is that we really have no idea. There are several things that have to happen on the US side and on the Korea side. For some families, the steps seem to move very quickly. For some families, the wait between each step is longer.

Raleigh is my rock and always reminds me that God gets the glory and is in control. I want to glorify Him by waiting with grace. Lord, grant me patience as we wait for each next step of the process.

Thank you Lord for the feeling of being a mom for the first time...pure joy as we dream of kissing his cute, chubby cheeks....praying over the picture of our sweet son...praying that he will come to know the Lord at an early age....dreaming of one day praying over him instead of just his picture.

I'm not really sure what this post was about, but I know this is a special season of life. Trying to cherish the time at home with Raleigh while also desperately wanting our son home.

Care Package Post #2

I posted about the items we got for our little guy, but I never got a chance to share what we found for the foster family. Our son's foster parents are in their late 60's. We had some ideas in mind, but went to the mall with open minds. :)

Luckily, I found exactly what I wanted for great prices.
For the foster mom, we found a Coach wristlet. It was on sale at Dillard's for less than $30.00, so we really did not spend too much on it.
It is still cold in Korea, so I thought they might appreciate some new chapstick. The foster parents also have 2 grown children (in their 30's) and I'm not sure if they live at home or not. If they do live at home, this gift could easily be for them instead of the foster parents.
I know it may seem strange, but apparently vitamins are really popular gifts for foster parents. The tag you see on the top of the bottle is how I labeled all of the gifts. Each item was labeled with our son's name and case number. I tried to make the labels as "cute" as possible. I cut circles out of brown/tan paper and wrote the information in black sharpie. Then I used a hole punch to make a hole and I attached the tags to the items with natural colored ribbon.
We got the foster dad socks. We were originally planning to buy him a nice tie. However, we found out that he is retired. Although it is typical for Koreans to often dress very nicely, we just were not sure if he would wear a tie a lot since he is retired. We found socks that we liked so we sent those instead. Raleigh loves argyle socks. I think fun socks are appropriate for any age bracket.
So... we sent vitamins, socks, chapstick, and a wristlet. We also wrote a letter to the foster family thanking them for taking care of our son. We had it translated into Korean. There is a sweet girl on one of the adoption forums that offers translation services. She translated our letter very quickly. I wrote the same note (in English of course) in a card and then folded the printed Korean version and placed it in the card.
Here is a final look at our care package. Raleigh is a master at packing!! He claims it is from all his "border trips" when he was a child. He grew up in Mexico City and each summer they would drive to the United States to spend summers with his grandparents. All of that packing as a child stuck with him! We fit everything except the vitamins into two gallon size baggies.

We hope our son's foster parents know that the items were chosen with love.

Reflection on Learning to Read

I spend a lot of my time (Monday-Friday) helping children learn to read. As a kindergarten teacher, I take my responsibility very seriously and give 110% to my students because I know they need to leave my classroom in May with a really strong foundation in reading in order to be successful in first grade. We obviously start by learning individual sounds and then put those sounds together in various combinations to make words. As with any new skill, some children learn to read relatively quickly and it is quite challenging for some.

By this point in the school year, we are in the home stretch. Just about 9 1/2 weeks left until the students leave my classroom. Everyday is an opportunity for learning new reading strategies.

Well....to the point of this post. Tonight I received a translated letter that we wrote to our son's foster parents. When I opened the translation, I saw the beautiful Korean (hangul) writing, but the individual characters had no meaning to me. I could not isolate sounds or put sounds together to make words. Instead of reading a letter that conveyed meaning, I saw horizontal lines, vertical lines, ovals, etc. No matter how long I looked at the letter, I would never be able to read it.

Hmmm...I started thinking. For children that struggle to learn to read, this must be how they feel.

Don't get wrong, I have taken courses that simulate dyslexia and other reading disabilities, but for some reason seeing the Korean letter really hit home for me.

Then, it was time for me to finish labeling all of the items we are sending in our care package. Although we were told we could just write the English spelling of his name (Si-won) I decided that I also wanted to write it in Korean.

As I was writing his name on multiple items, I had to concentrate so hard on each handwriting stroke. First a slightly diagonal swoop. Then another diagonal line. Next a vertical line. I was purely copying exactly what I saw, but I didn't know which lines represented which sounds.

This was another ah ha moment for me.

For students that are having difficulty learning to read, copying words from the board is such a tedious task. And having to come up with sentences to write independently is even harder. I've always known this to be true, but experiencing this tonight was a good reminder for me.

As I enter into the final weeks of the school year, I am going to empathize more with my students that need a little extra help.

Lord, please grant me wisdom as I plan lessons that will engage my students and make them eager to learn. Help me have an extra dose of patience when I feel like I have exhausted every "trick in the book" and a student is still struggling to learn a new concept.

Learning to read opens so many opportunities. I love seeing the look on a child's face when he realizes he has learned to read. I am thankful that tonight I was reminded what it feels like to want to read something, but not be able to.

Legals and I-600

Today Raleigh and I completed our next steps in the adoption process to bring our little treasure home! (We really are trying to decide a name....we have it narrowed down to two names. :)

Our fingerprints expired in the middle of February, so these needed to be re-done. We mailed our application to be re-fingerprinted Saturday, February 26th. This Monday (March 7) we received our invitation to be fingerprinted. Our appointment was scheduled for March 17th, but we decided to try our luck and see if they would take us early. So I took a 1/2 day off of work, and we went to the office in Atlanta. It is very formal there, as in you have to follow all of the "rules." The front door remains locked, and you have to wait until someone sees you and lets you in. Well today in Atlanta it was pouring down rain. The man saw us standing there, and let us stand in the rain until he was ready to let us in. Oh well! It is a memory! Once we got inside, they didn't give us any trouble about coming a few days early. We were in and out within an hour! Yippee!!

Next, we went to our agency's office to file the I-600. Raleigh and I tried to fill it out at home, but we had too many questions. So we sat down with someone from our agency and filled it out. She actually had a "sample" so it was pretty easy once we had the sample in front of us. The I-600 is a form that classifies as orphan as an immediate family member. Wow! Even though there has been a lot of paperwork throughout this whole process (and we know that there is still a lot more coming) for some reason this document really made me think.

How monumental... from orphan to immediate family member! He is our child and we are his family!

I hesitate to even guess how long it will take for our I-600 to be approved. It seems like some people wait about a month for approval and some people have to wait much longer.

So...we are in our next phase of waiting. Come on I-600 approval! :)

Raleigh laughed when I asked him to take a picture of me and LaWanda, but I want to celebrate each milestone! So here we are with our legals and with our completed I-600. :)

Care Package

We have been working on our first care package for our sweet little guy. (we are still deciding on a name...but I will share that as soon as we have decided:)

We are able to send a few things for our cutie and his foster parents. We are still finishing the gifts for his foster family, so I will save that for another post. Here is what we have for our son.

According to our last well baby check, he is 17.8 pounds and 26.8 inches long. We debated about sizes, but we decided to get 12-18 months. I would rather the clothes be a little big instead of too small.

Baby socks! Cute!

A little hoodie....It's still pretty cold in Korea, so we thought this item would transition well from Winter into Spring. (This was on clearance at GAP.)

A simple gray t-shirt. We got this because Raleigh loves to wear jeans and a gray t-shirt on Saturdays. We figure our little one needed a gray t-shirt too. Like father, like son. :)

Baby jeans (These were on sale too)

Here is a picture of the outfit all together.

A soft little dog from Pottery Barn Kids. This was on clearance for $3.00. Yay for a sale!

A cute little "cell phone." When you press the numbers, it plays music. Each number plays a different song.

A soft photo album. The pages are filled with pictures of me and Raleigh. We have heard to only include pictures of immediate family so that he will start to become familiar with our faces. This photo album was one of the first things we bought while we were waiting on our referral, so it is really special to finally be able to send it to Korea!

This is a book we got many months ago at a Korean bookstore. The book is written in English and Korean and it is the story of the 10 Commandments.
