Charlie Jin-yeong is doing well!

Yesterday we got a "WBC" (well-baby check) from Korea. With our adoption agency, Holt, babies go for well-baby checks monthly and the reports from that visit are emailed to the future parents. Charlie seems to go for his visits in the middle of the month, and we have been receiving the reports at the beginning of the next month. Anyways, Charlie is doing well. He is growing appropriately; Sheref, as the eternal pediatrician, kept raving about how Charlie's growth is "perfect, just perfect." I think it was ~50th% for height and head circumference and somewhere around 25th% for weight. He is also described as "cute and fine," which cracks us up as all the babies are described this way. It must be the Korean version of "A&O x 3" or "NAD" (other MDs will get this...).

He is meeting all his developmental milestones. He plays peek-a-boo, smiles, and "prefers his foster mother," which I assume means he is very attached to her. Although this may make his transition to us difficult, in the long run it will greatly behoove him to have attached to this wonderful woman for the first 10-12 months of his life. We owe her a huge debt of gratitude, which we will try hard to repay.

Currently, we are waiting on 2 things:

1) to hear that our EP (emigration permit) has been submitted. This is done in Korea.

2) to hear that we have been approved for the I-600...

Stay tuned!
