First visit with Asher MinOh!!!

Our first visit with Asher MinOh totally exceeded my expectations! He was shy at first but once this mommy pulled out the Gerber Puffs I had him giving me smiles! lol! This little baby loves food! His foster mother said the only time he really cries is when he is hungry!
Asher MinOh has the most loving nuna (older sister)! She was so sweet to him and even tried directing him to us! We could tell he was very attached to both her and his foster mother and has been very well loved! We are so thankful to them and will never be able to express how much. I tried to though in my broken Korean!
The pictures of Micah MinHyeok and Asher MinOh just melt my heart! Micah was so good to him! They played ball and Micah fed him Gerber puffs, too!
I was so happy he let me near him without crying! This was after a few more Gerber puffs though!
And even took some from daddy, too!



Micah couldn't stop talking about little brother after the visit! "Where's Little Brother going mommy?" We had tried to explain that little brother wouldn't be coming with us right away but I guess Micah liked him so much he wanted him to come with us!


Yaaay! A big smile for mommy! He figured out he really liked the puffs and I was a major source for them!
Already some brotherly love!
And he really likes the phone, too! He'll pick it up and say "Ne?" meaning "Yes?"

We had a great visit and were given the option to pick up Asher permanently on Friday and have him for the weekend or wait until Monday, the day we leave. We asked the social worker to let his foster mother make that choice since we know this will be a hard goodbye for her and her daughter. The foster mother thought Friday would be best so we'll be spending the weekend with our baby before we leave for home! We'll keep you updated!
