I am Blessed

The registration fee money wired over to Seoul was well received! This means they got the money! The final piece of the beginning stages of going to Korea are completed.

I can't believe it; I'm going in July.

The next update will most likely be in July when I arrive there. 

So excited to have the opportunity to meet 19 other adoptees from Korea that were adopted by US or European families.

Feeling very blessed!!!

Thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity to see my place of birth and to experience it first hand!!!

:)

Counting down the days now... So excited! Down to three more weeks it's officially a month away!

Leaving July 13th :)

Registration fee...

Filled out paperwork to wire over the registration fee to Seoul. I just sent Holt the pre survey and flight arrangements.

Waiting to make sure they receive everything they need.

This is a reality that I am going...

I can't wait to explore Korea's capital Seoul and down South at Busan and Gyeong-ju districts.

I was born in Taegu perhaps I'll visit there soon too...

Airline ticket

So, today with my dad's help I purchased my airline ticket to go to Seoul! Flying Korean Air leaving 7/13 and returning 7/28. Everything is falling into place. 

Last steps are to email holt the itinerary for the flight, the pre-survey and to go to the bank to make sure $100 USD is sent to them.

South Korea 2013- humble beginnings to finding my roots

So it's official as of May 15th I was accepted with others to go abroad to South Korea for 2 weeks in search of my biological roots and such...
Trip will not begin until July 13th till the 27th... The Koreans are 13 hours ahead of us so for them it's the 15-26th of July.
Paperwork is in motion and I will update more when I get there in July, if I make it...

 All I have to pay for is airfare and personal expenses... No problem right? Wrong! Airfare goes up daily and I still have the $100 fee for processing Korean to English and vice versa.

Thank goodness I have a few months to prepare... What a great opportunity- almost once in a lifetime chance to go back to where I was born= priceless!!!
