by
his foster mom. A week ago today, we received a handwritten letter
and couple of nice outfits for Wiggly from Mrs J. What a wonderful
surprise! Last Saturday, 10/6 was our 2 year referral anniversary.
She has great timing! Our son took part in the opening of the
presents (2 packages) while I took a video and several pictures of
him opening it to give back to Mrs J. Seems so little a return but I
know she would appreciate it just as we appreciated getting a picture
of Wiggly with his care packages we had sent to him while we were all
waiting. Our friend SB, translated the letter for us and it is still
evident she still misses Eunchee. If only I could hurry things along
in the adoption world, so we can go back to Korea again and have her
see our son again soon. Alas that is not the case. Instead I need to
gather another set of pictures and videos of our son to send to her. We are so blessed to have her as our son's foster mom. She is
a part of our son's life forever. Along with the outfits and letter,
we also got these handy neckerchiefs (for lack of a better term). I
LOVE these things.
To use for Wiggly of course. And the ones she sent
us this time are a little bigger so it fits around his neck just fine
with a lot of room. They are so handy for runny noses and slobber....
you get the drift. We have been blessed in that our son has been so
healthy. Even to the common cold... he's not had much of it. But if
and when he gets the runny nose, one of these neckerchiefs goes
around his neck and he actually uses it. Sahweet. Of course it's been
a while since I've put it on him so I'll need to remind him next time
it goes on. He asks for a “neenex” otherwise. Which is fine also.
How
did Wiggly react to the package? Just fine really... don't think he
knew the meaning of it exactly but he claimed the outfits immediately
as his and I quote, “eh MINE!” I told him where they came from
and he refers to them as “umma shirt,“umma nama pants” (pajama
pants).

Is
it common for foster parents to keep in contact with their foster
children after they're adopted? Not sure really. I've heard of a few
from our agency's forum. But the forum is only a minute percentage of
what's happening out there in the adoption world. I know I am very
grateful that Mrs J keeps in touch -
presents
or not. We will do our best to keep her up to date of our son's life.
It is the least we can do.

From
the bottom of our hearts, thank you Mrs J and thank you foster
families.
