Unfortunately, the number of Korean babies needing permanent homes is growing, not diminishing. Obviously, having children stay in their country of birth is best and would represent less loss for children in need of adoptive homes, but unfortunately this is not always an option. In Korea, there is still significant prejudice against adoption, which has prevented many children from finding forever families in their native country.
Unfortunately, Korean laws have restricted the amount of children who can be adopted internationally in hopes that domestic adoption will grow. Each year the number of children who are permitted to be adopted internationally is cut, and although domestic adoption has increased, it still is not enough. This article exposes the need for more people to adopt Koreans orphans, and the need for their government to think more about the babies waiting for families, than the numbers published in newspapers.
How sad that a politician can say, “I’ve reduced the number of international adoptions,” and yet have an increased number of babies languishing in foster care waiting for families who are available, but not allowed to adopt them.
We go see Santa every year at a Christmas tree farm. There are horses there that pull big wagons. You can pet them...if you want....but clearly Corinne didn't want to.
As you can see, Cecelia didn't like the horses. (an understatement)
Addie was fine with them.
This is my nephew; Airyn. 
Addison Hope Ha-Seon
My brother and his family.
My kids. 
I really like this photo. Its so sweet.
Jack...telling Santa his list. 
Drew...he's kinda done with the "Santa thing"
Addison...She's really done with the Santa thing!
This is as close as Cecelia would get to him. (She was really brave this day!! not really!)
Corinne...she would only stand close to Santa.
Little Airyn...he and Santa are buddies!
