Meeting day

Andy and I both woke up a little afte 5 this morning with no ability to go back to sleep. Between jet lag and the excitment of meeting Theo, there was little to do but get up, shower, wrap presents, and WAIT! We've become very good at that over the last few months...

Finally at 11:30 we left our room. Remembering how to get to the subway was easy, but figuring out exactly HOW to use the subway was more of a challenge. After a few attempts at a handful of machines, we managed to secure subway tickets to get us to Eastern Social Welfare Society where our meeting with Theo was to be held. You may remember that our meeting was not until 1:30, so YES, we left ridiculously early. We walked into Eastern a little before 1:00, were shown to a small waiting room, and were told to (What else?) WAIT.

As the minutes crawled by, Andy and I sat anxiously awaiting Theo's arrival with his foster mom. A little after 1:30 she and our social worker came into our waiting room with Theo! It was a wonderful meeting. Our foster mom was fantastic, and Theo did not seem to be scared at all! We went over some of his paperwork, exchanged presents, and then Andy and I had Theo all to ourselves for about half an hour. It was completely surreal - we are still in awe and shock that this cute little guy will be ours forever in just a few days! And now I will share what you've all been waiting for - a glimpse of our new son:

After our meeting, we headed to Insadong for some shopping. After visiting some shops and munching on some mondu, we left the shopping district and headed to Jogyesa Buddhist Temple. Now back at the hotel we are planning our day tomorrow which includes another Theo visit, a meeting with Dr. Kim, and lunch with the staff from Eastern. Stay tuned!

I decided to add a couple of pictures from the rest of our day:
