Introducing Jake!






Hello, everyone! We are thrilled to announce a soon-to-be addition to our family. Byeol Jang was born on August 17th, 2007, in Seoul, Korea. He was 7 lbs at birth and 19 inches long.
We completed our homestudy this week. It will take a while for fingerprinting, US and Korean Visas, etc. Jake should be joining our family sometime in August, if all runs smoothly. Dillon Southwest has been amazing with our last two adoptions, so we anticipate another wonderful experience.
For those of you doing the math, you are right: there are only six months between Sarah and Jake. To be honest, we never imagined that we would be fortunate enough to be matched with Sarah, let alone ANOTHER child. During the last week of March, we received an e-mail from our agency with Jake's photo asking for help in finding a family for him. We were not finalized with Sarah, and I had already reached the age limit with regards to Korea's requirements, but I made the call that same day to see if there was any possibility that we could welcome him into our home. Six or seven weeks later, we finally got the answer we were waiting for. We'll keep you posted as we find out more and we will update as we travel to escort Jake when it is time. Until then, enjoy the pics. They only go to 5 months. Should we receive new photos before we travel, we will post those as well. Enjoy!

What a beautiful baby! I am so excited for you! We have always wanted to adopt so I have special interest in your story although we have never met.
