My son is 13, still uninterested in being Asian, learning about Korea, or having any interest in his birthmother (at this point, feigning interest in his mother when the occasion demands it - my birthday/mother’s day - can be tough). And has his first girlfriend - who is very white. We still offer, although we know what the answer will be. ---

We’re back from Korea with Mahalothbabyboy. Mahalothette is super thrilled and so are we. I’ll post pics when the wife tells me it’s OK for us to do so. I think we’re cool, but I need to check and make sure it is OK to post pics of the newest little one. ---

I think our return flight was re-routed because of f̶a̶k̶e̶ North Korea’s rocket launch. We initially took a very odd flight pattern, cutting across South Korea towards the ocean. Typically, we head north and cross part of China and part of N. Korea. We had major turbulence on our (I think) new path, too. The first couple hours were crazy bumpy. Fortunately, the new kid didn’t care one wit. ---

Congratulations on both babies, Mahaloth! Lucky kids, and lucky you. Have your family taken to the kids with no problems? ---
