Last Post-Placement visit

Korea requires that children be followed-up for 6 months after they leave Korea and enter their new country. After 3 visits from the Social Worker and a letter stating that the child is doing well and the legal adoption can proceed, a lawyer can be called and the legal aspects taken care of. Today was our 3rd post-placement visit. It went very well and we have really enjoyed working with our Social Worker. Now we need our lawyer to call us back (on vacation?) so that she can begin the next stage of paperwork... Until the legal adoption, the child is under our temporary guardianship, but the adoption agency actually has the legal guardianship. After the adoption (which could be the beginning of next year?) she will be legally ours forever. Hurray!
