We weren't allowed to go in and cuddle the babies - on past visits you could go in and feed or hold the babies - but this time the staff indicated that we could not. Sad - cos I wanted to get in there to hold them and to comfort the little ones who were crying.
There seemed to be less babies than we have seen in the past - but there was one room where the babies were much older - somewhere between 12 months and 15 months. Not sure why - normally they would be with foster mothers.
The changes to the way the Korean adoptive program works means that the babies are much older when you actually get them then when we went through the program. We were lucky to get Han at 6 months and Kim at 5 months - but from what we hear now the babies are closer the 2 - 2 1/2. So much time lost.
I am so grateful to ESWS - they gave me the chance to be the mum to two beautiful young men. I will always be thankful. I am grateful to the wonderful nurses who look after the babies in the hospital, and to all the foster mothers who care for the babies until they reach their forever family.
