How is it possible that it has already been one year since we saw this sweet face for the first time? I remember how surprised we were when we got "the call", as our agency had told us just a few weeks prior that there would be no more referrals until after the first of the year because the Korean agency they work with had run out of their yearly allotment of government-issued emigration permits (EPs). I was completely devastated and wrote some 'poor me' blog post about how unfair life is. LOL! When our social worker showed up with Seiyoung's referral package, we made her go through the entire package before looking at any of her pictures. We had gone through so much heartache during our adoption journey, that we wanted to be pretty darn sure that she was "the one" before falling in love with her picture. As she went through the file, we kept looking at each other - we both knew she sounded perfect for our family. And then she pulled out the pictures and I knew for certain that I was staring at my daughter.
