This weekend our friends (We'll call them the L's) who are also looking to privately adopt got a call from the famous tailor in town, Mr. Lim. Mr. Lim is well known in the community for making party suits and dresses and works very closely with the base. Anyone who has been to Osan AB in the last ten years has probably had something made by Mr. Lim!
He said that he has two adoption contacts. One is a birthmother with a two and four year old and the other mother has a three month old. The mothers are very young and in no position to continue raising their children. The L's don't know which children would fit their family best and would like to meet the families first. Since they know we are interested as well, they are keeping us informed and this is also a potential lead for us. We don't want to bring two children into our home at this time but we think a three month old would fit perfectly.
We have a feeling that this is sort of the way the private adoption world works. One day you are a family of two and the next day you get a call that rocks your world. We are trying, as best we can, to prepare ourselves for what may come. We know that we have an amazing support group (YOU) and that everyone would jump right on board if we "get the call."
