Kwangju

I've still been unable to upload any pictures from our trip. We are taking plenty of pictures, so we will make sure to post them when we arrive home. Yesterday we returned from our trip to Kwangju. We took a 6:20 train down there and arrived at 9:20 in the morning on Saturday. That allowed us to have most of the day in Kwangju on Saturday. Then we returned on the 1:50 train on Sunday. Many things happened during our stay in Kwangju that we will wait to share until a later time. We did have a wonderful and unforgettable experience which included a trip to a traditional oriental medical clinic, a huge traditional Korea lunch, being fitted for matching hanboks, and visiting a Korean church. Luke's old orphanage has undergone so many changes and additions since our last visit. It has become a place for adult adoptees to stay and learn more about their heritage.

Today we are going to Eastern for a luncheon and for a meeting with the president, Dr. Kim. Our plans for the afternoon are open at this point as it will be our last free afternoon of the trip. Tomorrow we have a meeting at Eastern at 10 a.m. where we will play with Aiden for an hour and then take him with us for good. A few days ago we bought a baby carrier here that will accomodate children up to 40 pounds. After our last visit with Aiden, I have had visions of myself pacing up and down the hotel room with Aiden in that carrier trying to comfort him. We are hoping and praying for a smooth transition!
