Kim & David

us ...
Kim, 37, and David, 39, live in Indiana. We have three kids — almost 13, 10 and 4. Our daughter is from Korea, placed in our arms on October 9, 1996! Now she needs a little sister! We also have a toy poodle, Tank, and five birds. David is a mechanical engineer. I (Kim) am a stay-at-home mom/homeschooler. We are busy with a 7th grader, a 4th grader and a preschooler learning to read. We are very active in our church, with music lessons and with karate lessons. Life is busy, busy, busy.

our adoption plans ...
We are using Bethany Christian Services, the same agency we used for our first daughter. It was nice that all we had to do was a homestudy update. We started the process in September 1999 and our dossier was logged in to the CCAA in February 2000. We had quite a few glitches in the paperchase, culminating in a 49-day wait while our dossier was at the Chinese Consulate in Chicago. We will never know how or why this happened, but we were not the only ones it happened to. We have requested a child 6 months or younger and are open to some minor special needs. Our daughter will be welcomed with open arms to our family — I have been waiting for this for soooo long! Oh, we are planning on bringing our 13-year-old with us
