First Meeting!




Well, we got up well before the wake up call. Skyped the family back home and proceeded to the subway. We got to the correct station in hapjeong but went out the wrong exit and then all went awry. After the previous night's tour, I thought we would just walk up the exit and oila there is the Holt office. Not so... If you are reading this and will be travelling soon, just know which number exit you need to depart from. It is #7 ... not any other.... And believe me... if you get off of any other, you will be lost. We got lost. Had to take a cab and get re-directed.




But what a visit!... I can only say in words how precious it was to meet Bok-hyeon. We connected right away. He absolutely LOVES cars. He could care a less about the stuffed Mickey. He had the fire engine we got at our local toy store. He keeps it with him everywhere.




I learned that his name is pronounced Poke he yanna. He will not even recognize Bok (american name). But he was AWESOME.




He held my hand. Kissed me, and played with me. I know he knows me as the pics sent ahead were so so so important. I am anxiously awaiting Monday to get him and I know he will be a bit startled as he will leave his foster mom for good. She was wonderful.!!!! Holt did such a nice job in the transition.




Pics above has his foster mother Eun Mi! She was so pleasant!!!!.. What a great mother to Bok-Hyeon!
