Adoption Update

As of today, we have officially signed up for the Korea program at our adoption agency. We are still in the China adoption process, but the timeframe of getting a child from China keeps getting longer. The GREAT news is that with Korea, we should have a child in home in 1 1/2 years. An adoption counter for Korea has been started above.

Jay wanted to post his Facebook status update and comments here as so many friends and family have been supporting us in this entire process.

Jay Gardocki - After waiting over 1 year and 7 months to adopt a girl from China, the process keeps getting longer. We had another home study yesterday and if all goes well, we will be moving to the Korea program and may have a little boy or girl in a year and a half. Amy is ecstatic!!! (Tue at 11:20pm)
