AhRin (pronounced Erin!) 27 months

So, my new Korean friend said AhRin's name is pronounced Erin!!  I put it in google translate and she is right- we have been pronouncing it wrong the whole time!!  We got these pictures a few weeks ago and once again, bittersweet.  She is just precious, but growing up without us.  We are praying that her process his expedited! So cute with a little bow! She is looking at the picture that Jerri Lynn drew her!

New Korean friend!

So, God does cool things all the time! I had read on Facebook about a family that recently adopted a little girl from Korea.  Her transition was going great and she really understood about foster family and newly adopted family.  The reason was, because the mom was Korean, lived in the US, so she could speak Korean to her and ease her grief by being familiar from food, to appearance and most importantly the language.  I read this on a Monday a few weeks ago, so I began praying that God would put someone Korean in our life that could ease this transition for AhRin.  I wanted not just someone that could translate, but someone to be our friend!  On Tuesday, I posted on the Facebook page that I needed someone to take a package to AhRin if anyone was traveling soon.  A lady posted under me: "I need someone to take a package for me too, and it is nice to see someone that lives close to me- I live in Madison." Turns out she is a wonderful Korean lady, whose husband is part Korean and they live in Madison, only 20 minutes from us! God answered our prayer!!! We had lunch the following week and we hope to get together again soon!  Just a little confirmation from God and a huge blessing!
