Meeting with Aiden

Sadly I don't have any pictures to show of our first meeting with Aiden. We took four pictures, but we can't get them loaded on to our computer right now. We only took four because the first half of our meeting Aiden was crying really hard and was clinging to his foster mother. Every time he looked up at me or Luke he quickly clenched his eyes tightly. He tried everything he could to leave the room and cried quite a bit. Eventually his foster mother gave him a bottle and he gradually, very gradually warmed up to us. By the time we left the room he was laughing and playing with us. He mostly was playing around with Luke because the social worker was talking to me about our schedule. We will see him next on Tuesday at 10:00. We will play with him for an hour and then we will take him for good. The social worker seems to think it's best that we have him the night before our flight because of the amount of anxiety he initially showed around us. We ask for your prayers for Aiden as this transition may be painful for him. While we are so excited to bring him home, he is obviously not eager to leave his foster mother so we are feeling a lot of guilt.

Tomorrow we leave for Luke's birth city of Kwaangju! I will try to use the hotel computers at some time to load some pictures. For the time being we are staying busy adjusting to the time and arranging our trip into Kwaangju.
