I spoke with Portia at 7:00 this morning, which was 10:00 PM in Korea. She arrived safely yesterday (well today, Sunday, for us) at about 1:00 PM. I couldn't understand her very well on the phone - it was either the cell phone she was using, the calling card I was using, or just the fact that it's such a long distance between here and there. Oh, the reason she has a cell phone is that she rented one for a few days at about 3 dollars per day. Not a bad price, but it's $1 a minute to call home! However, when I call her it's free, other than my calling card charges.
She arrived at the Holt Social Services guest house (a Korea based Social Services program) in the afternoon and met up with another family, the King family I believe, and had dinner with them. She said that the guest house was nice, and there was hardly anyone staying there. The shower was interesting, it sounds like it's just a faucet in a huge bathroom. I guess you just have to lift the faucet up when you want to wash your hair? It will be interesting to see if Portia can figure out a way to give Dong Joon a bath on Tuesday night.
Well as Portia said, she is just waiting until Monday afternoon when she can see Dong Joon for the first time. So be thinking about us at about 3:00 PM Korea time, which is midnight Texas time, 10:00 PM California time. Hopefully Portia can post some more info after their meeting. - Erek
We orignally created this blog to keep our friends and family updated on our journey to adopt our son, Dong Joon Andrew Borowski. On June 8, 2007, the adoption became final and we are now a family of four. We continue this blog to celebrate the wonderful milestones of Dong Joon ("D.J.") and his big sister, Veronica.
