SOO HAPPY FOR YOU!
...First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! SOO HAPPY FOR YOU!<br /><br />And random fact, pink is commonly used for dressing boys in Korea. Red is a manly color (for war, blood, etc) and therefore pink is a boy color. Likewise blue is a girl color (for flowers, sky, etc.).JaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12875853898451397223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19149261.post-78790213606635493842011-04-09T00:01:15.412-04:002011-04-09T00:01:15.412-04:00i'm so happy to get to read all of the excitin...i'm so happy to get to read all of the exciting details of your referral! i truly had chills reading it! your son is beautiful and i can not wait for the day that i see him in your arms! xoxoColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409450273850993240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19149261.post-73905327809746881902011-04-08T14:09:07.779-04:002011-04-08T14:09:07.779-04:00"he is why we waited 21 months"...oh, ho..."he is why we waited 21 months"...oh, how those words made me smile. oliver...your son...perfect for each other. what a wonderful, wonderful story!! i am so incredibly happy for you and b!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663090818004547067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19149261.post-68557521892581886502011-04-08T10:12:16.170-04:002011-04-08T10:12:16.170-04:00Congratulations again on your son!

What a thrilling time for you! ...Congratulations! What a thrilling time for you! I love reading referral stories, because it reminds me of ours. Oliver is a beautiful name too. We've had a lot of people comment that they think our Daniel (S. Korea) looks just like my husband. Even Daniel's foster parents said the same thing! I loved hearing that everyone thinks Oliver looks like b. Another sign that he is meant to be your baby! Hope the paperwork goes quickly as you travel to bring him home!
