| Immigration visa issued! |
Our visa interview went remarkably well yesterday. Our sweet friend Ji Hae joined us once again that morning. Stephen fell asleep in the carrier on my back during the 20 minute walk and stayed a sleep for about 45 minutes, which worked out great. (However, it is super sweaty to hold a hot blooded 26.5 lb toddler on your back in a humid, warm place.) We were ushered in to our appointment during the quiet lunch hour and chatted with the 3 other adoptive families while we all waited. After swearing that everything in the application was true and answering a couple of other straightforward questions, we were told it was approved. We waited a little longer for it to be printed and Stephen woke up and shared snacks and played games with the other kids. We were given his Korean passport and immigration visa with his new name. We wished the other families well as we left! He will officially become an American citizen when he sets foot on US soil in Seattle on Thursday.
Later that evening, Stephen laughed and giggled as his siblings sang "Pororo" (a Korean cartoon) and did silly kid antics for him via Facetime.

He ran out a lot of energy (and sweated a ton!) in the hotel children's playground.
