Just when things are going so well....

..my sister breaks her foot.

No I am not kidding. She stepped off a curb wrong..and went to the ER. They think she broke a bone at the top of her right foot. Now she needs to see an Ortho. So my question is can she travel to Seoul, and walk around, and carry bags, and help me with Hope, in about 3 weeks. My guess is, probably not. :-( So we need to find a plan B.

I am just beside myself. I called Barker and they said as long as we call them by early next week, we can still have Hope escorted. I also have a call in to my brother to see if he would be able to make the trip with me. I just don't see how I could do it all by myself. I have never been to Seoul before. I have never adopted a baby before. I have never flown 17 hours with a baby before. Not to mention the emotional toll the entire process of meeting my baby for the first time, is going to take on me, and her. I just don't think I can handle all of that alone.

But I want to go, I think. I mean yes, I want to go. But, there are some pros to escorting. We can all meet her together. I don't have to worry about packing, and traveling, and flying for 17 hours with a baby. Unfortunately those are all pros for me not Hope. I don't see any benefit for her if we choose to have her escorted. And that makes me sad. Sad, that she would have to go through all of that with another stranger that is just going to hand her off to a bunch of other strangers (us). I am so torn. I truly don't know what to do.
