We finally got some good news today. Dave called the visa hotline number in DC this morning and after nearly a month of hearing bad news they told him that Claire's visa interview happened in Korea today! This is great news as it is the last step before she comes home. This also means her visa physical was fine and we don't have to sign anything after all (which would have delayed us another week or two at least). Now we just wait for our phone to ring to let us know what flight she'll be on to the US. I've been watching an online bulletin board for our agency and babies have been travelling in as little as two days after they had their visa interview up to as many as two weeks later. So, we really have no idea when we'll find out. She will almost certainly be flying into Chicago O'Hare.
We also have gotten to know another family from our agency that are in Korea now picking up their new son. They asked if there was any way they could see Claire to take some photos and video for us. They emailed us this morning before they leave Korea today to say that Claire's foster mom brought her to the office and they got to hold her and take some video for us. We can't wait for them to get home so we can see it. They said that she went to them without crying and seemed really happy and content. Hopefully her transition to us will be smooth too :)

Fingers crossed she will be on the next flight home. All I can say is well done in the perseverance it has taken to get to this stage - gotta admire your staying power!!
TC and hope to see pictures of her in her lovely bedroom soon.
