Wednesday The second day we spent in Busan involved a lot of travel around the southern part of Korea. We first began by meeting Seoksoon, her daughter, Yeongmo, and both of Meghann’s birth parents in the hotel lobby at noon. We had agreed to eat an “American Pizza and Pasta” style lunch for something different…

A number of words to describe yesterday: interesting, intense, fun, exciting, emotional, exhausting. It was one of those days with a sensory overload for everyone involved, especially Meghann. It also seemed to be a very positive experience as well. We were with the birth family for almost nine hours, so a fair warning this is…

I’m sitting here cramped in an economy seat on the twelve hour and twenty-five-minute United Flight 893 from San Francisco, CA to Incheon, South Korea. The down-graded accommodations will not be the only thing different during my second trip to South Korea this year, but I’m no less intrigued by what we may learn and…

There isn’t a clear-cut place to start the story of this weekend, really. So many things happened through the course of events from Friday to Sunday, it’s a bit overwhelming to digest, even having experienced it all first hand.

Ahn-nyeong hah-seh-yo! (Hello!, in Korean) I’ve been in Korea now for just about two full days – the only thing I can say is WOW! I’m having a great time here. Being immersed in this new culture is amazing, and I’m feeling constantly invigorated with everything I do. Meghann and I started out Monday morning…

Whew – where am I? What day is it? What time is it? It’s a bit disorienting the first time making such a drastic time zone change. I’ve flown back and forth across the US many times, pacific time to eastern time, which can have a sense of 3 hours lost or gained, but that…

Alright.. three weeks since my last post. Seems like a hiatus based on previous post frequency, but I’m anticipating some serious ramp-up here throughout the month of May. No excuses, I just haven’t felt like writing and have been spending more times with hobbies and other activities. I’m sure the frequency of my posts will…
