Introducing Sam and Sophia
We got back from trip 2 on Sunday with our 3 year old boy and our 5 month old girl from Vladivostok. Sam has a chronic teeth condition that we knew about when we accepted his referral on trip one, but has had a flare up with an infection so we've had a pretty rough week with him getting him on an antibiotic and bringing him into a specialist. He will be going in for an operation on Dec 7th. We're glad to have it scheduled so soon so he can get better and we can have our happy little boy back!
The baby, Sophia, is doing really well. She's gained 4 pounds since we saw her trip one - most of which I am sure she's gained these past 2 weeks with us. They both had their first pediatric check ups yesterday and got great results (despite his bad teeth). Here is a picture of us at the airport in Seoul on the way home. Sam's in the luggage cart and I have Sophia in the baby pack. 11 long months of waiting and we're home!! Christina

Christina, you look amazingly fresh and energetic, considering you just flew home with two young children, one being sick, and both never having been outside an orphanage! wow!
Congratulations on being HOME. May God bless you all in the weeks and months ahead!

They're so cute!!! I do believe Sophia resembles Mom quite a bit. I hope things go well with Sam. I'll be thinking of you. He'll be all recovered and raring to go by Christmas!!
