Here’s an update, for those of you following the saga of bringing Spencer home.

The Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare has granted Spencer’s "EP", or emigration permit. That means that the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United States Department of State are free and clear to issue his exit and entry visas…the last step before we go pick him up!

We could be as few as three weeks away from leaving for Seoul to pick up our little guy. They will give us very little notice – as little as two or three days.

Assuming we depart on a Monday morning, we’ll arrive Tuesday night in Seoul – hooray for 17 hour time changes! Of course, it also works the other way. If we come back on a Friday evening, we’ll arrive Friday mid-morning to noon…before we left.

We’re counting the days!
