Since we got our referral we have gotten some additional medical reports on Ty. At first we were a little concerned about some of the findings but after talking to our neonatologist, aren't we fancy we have our own neonatologist on speed dail :), and getting more info. from Korea on Ty our concerns were eased.
With Ty being a Preemie, born at 35 weeks weighing 5 lbs., they tell us he is a little delayed, about 2 months. To us this is nothing, Libby was always at least 3 months delayed until she reached 2 years old. The delay is expected and something that will disappear quickly. Overall, he is in good health. He lives with a Foster Family just outside of Seoul. His foster mother has been fostering children for 27 years, what a wonderful woman. It must be so hard for her to let these little babies go.
I wish were could post a picture of Tyler but we have been told that we cannot post pictures or and identifying information on the web. We understand this but we so want you to see how cute he is. He has chubby little cheeks and looks so serious in his photos. You will just have to wait to see him...it will be worth the wait, I promise!
Last week we sent Ty a care package with some special little things for him and a letter....

Our Dearest Son,
On February 25th we received the news we had been waiting to hear for the longest time, that you were our beautiful son! It was a day of sheer joy for our family. When we saw your picture all we could do was smile. You are so cute and we can’t wait to hold you in our arms. We know that you are in good hands with your foster family. We are very grateful to them for all the love and care they give you.
You have a sister in Michigan waiting to meet you. Her name is Libby and she is 5 years old. She is so excited to have a little brother. She has been helping us get your room ready and pick out new clothes for you. She can’t wait to play with you and teach you things! You also have a little dog named Reggie. He is very sweet and you will love playing with him.
Daddy and I plan on traveling to Seoul to pick you up. We are so excited to see the country where you were born and learn about your culture. We are also very excited to meet your Foster Family. They must be very special people with big hearts. We are anxiously waiting to get our travel call so we can meet you and bring you home to Michigan to live with us forever.
Know that Mommy, Daddy and Libby all love you very much! We will see you very soon…
* Enclosed are a few little things we wanted you to have. One is a little photo album book with pictures of our family. We wanted you to be able to see us before we came to get you. We also enclosed a blanket for you to cuddle with, a few little outfits, and Libby picked out a cute little rattle toy for you to play with. For your special Foster Mother we sent some body lotion and bath gel as a token of our appreciation and thanks.
