A few weeks ago, we met two other families--who also happen to be adopting from Korea--for dinner at a local Korean restaurant. We first met them last fall at a "waiting" dinner, an event at our agency where couples who are in the waiting process of adoption get together to share a meal and enjoy an adoption-related program. We talked then about getting together at a Korean restaurant, and I am so glad it finally worked out. The food was good, and the company was even better. It was a great night--it is so nice to connect with other people who are going through the same process.
Julie and Chris--they received their referral back before Christmas (when they happened to be traveling in Korea and Japan!). Their son should be coming home soon! Julie was instrumental in getting us all together. Thanks again!
Jeff and Cathy--their referral could be coming any day now!
Cathy with Charlie, their little boy. What a cutie!
Charlie and Kate had fun together!
Here we are.
The food has arrived! Looks like Chris ordered Bee-Bim-Bop. At least I think that's what it is. :o)
Table shot!
We hope to get together again soon--as well as meet other local families who have been through or are going through the adoption process. It's important to have friends to learn from and also to share this experience with. Sorry for ending with the prepositions there, but you know what I mean.
P.S. In case you were wondering, we ate at Woo Nam Jeong Stone Bowl House on Buford Highway. Nice place! We had our own little room, which was great--especially with the kiddos. :o)
It is always awesome to share good times, good company, and good food. Here's to living and loving life. What a blessing to have these moments to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteFood looks so yummy! Glad y;all met some nice couple who are going through the same experience. Makes it really fun! I can not wait for your big day to come! Praying for y'all as always.
ReplyDeleteI agree that meeting folks who have shared your journey is a wonderful thing. While the support of friends and family through the process is great, it's so comforting to talk with those who have been through it. I hope your friendships continue to blossom!
