Every Day Is One Day Closer

Well, we heard that Carson was given his visa last week. According to what we know about the process now is that we simply wait for a phone call to say when he will travel. He will travel from Korea with an escort. We had thought that there may be a problem getting an escort during the holiday season. The truth of the matter is that there is long waiting list of those who "want" to escort children any time and any place. It is our understanding that he will travel to Los Angeles and we will there be accompanied by a volunteer greeter from the adoption agency who will show us where to go and what to do.

We met with our representative recently and she said that there is a very slim chance that he may come in to San Francisco. If that is the case, Beka and I would probably fly there instead of trying to make the 8 hour drive during the holidays. Regardless, we are looking forward to his arrival and are planning to capture the moment with a videographer and photographer nearby. We have people in our church who have expressed an interest in assisting us in this way, and I think it will be a true keepsake. We will use this platform to share pictures and video with everyone as it is now very easy and accessible by many. That is all the news for today.

Steve and Beka, What a wonderful Christmas this will be. God sent us His Son long ago and now He is sending us another son, Carson. We can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!! May the Lord watch over him as he travels with his escort and watch over you as you go to claim him. We are praying for Justin and Dylan too. God is SO good. Mom and Dad Samuel

We are so excited for you guys... and, as I told Beka last night, I'm praying that you'll get The Call this very week and you'll be holding precious Carson in your arms on Christmas morning!
