This is Emmett's verse, as was given to us, written in Hankul (Korean) by Nurse Lee. Today I met my son.
My stomach is still lodged somewhere in my throat, my heart is still beating a bit faster even though we left Holt over 2 hours ago. We met Emmett as we entered the Holt building. We were 15 minutes early thanks entirely to our guides' excellent instructions, yesterday, on Seoul's subway system. Thanks M & S! Emmett, was playing in the nursery when another foster mother recognized us and brought him and foster mother out to us. He bowed very low in polite Korean fashion and won our hearts there and then. He was a bit shy until we produced the Mini Cooper toy car, then he was all about the toy cars!
He is such a wonderfully relaxed little boy! He was very quiet and reserved. Laid back would be the best description of him. He loved the cars, and played crash with Craig and Grandpa while Umma (that's Mom in Korean - meaning me) asked our translator/social worker here all her many questions. The foster mother is so gracious and amazing! She kept a diary of every day with Emmett - and has given it to us. She also provided a photo album of his time with her. We are so very very blessed! Tomorrow we go to the aquarium with foster mom & Emmett. This will be just Craig and me on this little trip. We are so very excited for this second opportunity to spend time with them.
More than ever I have felt God's peace, His soveriegnty in this whole process. God has heard all our prayers and has prepared Emmett and us for this meeting. To God be the glory! Most assuredly! Amen!

How wonderful. I'm so happy for you and Craig and Emmett. The log and pictures will be priceless for you all as he gets older.
