Korea Video Update Five – Meet My Son

Posted on 23. Nov, 2006 by loswhit in Adoption, Korea Adoption Video

This was our Thursday. Thanksgiving.
OK. So this is it. What we have been waiting for. Well kinda. We actually don’t “officially” get him until Monday. But you get the idea. This one is a beast. 20 minutes. So pop some popcorn. Pull out the Kleenex. Turn your cell phones off. And enjoy the first day of the rest of my life…

So my Thanksgiving was splendid!!!
How was yours?
Los
P.S.
Saturday the 2nd of December. Come hang at mi casa with Losiah and us. We are having an open house from 12-4 pm.

    God is so GOOD!!!!!

    ah i can’t even handle it.

  9. Mr. Police Man 23 November 2006 at 5:53 pm #

    Dude, I’m not one to shed a tear, in fact I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve shed a tear, but I can now say its moved to counting on two hands.

    How rad for you two!

    Hey we are having a open house also on the same date. Except ours finishes at 9:00. We really wanted to meet Losia. Maybe when you are done with yours you could come over and bring the fam. I really don’t want to miss the opportunity to meet him.

    Love you much,

    Now that is what Thanksgiving is all about!!! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see him meet his big sisters!

  16. Beccity 23 November 2006 at 7:22 pm #

    He’s really cute-you guys look really happy!! BTW, the first baby that you thought might be yours, I think the lady holding him said, “mom.” (Oma) I know a few words in Korean. At least I think I do. Maybe my family made some words up. Anyways, God bless you and the rest of your trip!!!

  17. Laura 23 November 2006 at 7:56 pm #

    Congratulations!! He’s beautiful!

  18. Tostada 23 November 2006 at 8:10 pm #

    Man, he reminds me so much of our son Matthew…except he’s not Korean. They are about the same age and about the same stages. Thats so awesome!!! Congrats bro!

    Hey guys!!!!!!! We watched this a few days late cause we just got back from Bass Lake. No internet there. How awesome! Bogie and I are SO EXCITED for you to come home and bring Losiah with you. We can’t wait to meet him. So sorry I won’t be able to come on Dec 2nd. I’ll be in Alabama for a friend’s wedding. Bogie will be there, though. See you soon.

  42. Steve and Kris 25 November 2006 at 10:14 pm #

    Technology is amazing. Thanks for letting us experience that. And of course, thanks for being “real” at the beginning of the video. As awesome as this must be for both of you, we know it is stressful too. We are praying for you. We love you and can’t wait to meet Losiah.

  43. Aud and Tim 26 November 2006 at 7:14 pm #

    I have an aunt that is considering adopting, so I sent her the link to you & Heather's story! I pray it will touch her and give her a visual of what God's love can do through adoption.

    p.s. what is the song playing at the end of this video?
