We traveled to Detroit, Michigan to meet Trevor and pick him up from the airport on Tuesday, June 30th. His plane was to arrive at 1:45 PM. While the plane was on time, it took another hour for him to go thru immigration with the escort from the foster care agency. We were chatting with our greeter when all of a sudden, there he was right in front of us! Wouldn't you know, the video camera stalled right as we tried to turn it on, but we did get some good pictures of the hand-off.
Trevor was very tired and jet-lagged from the long flight, not to mention the fact that it was the middle of the night in Korea. They checked his arm band and passport to make sure his name matched up and took a few pictures with the escort and that was it. Trevor came with quite a bit of luggage. Our greeter, who has been doing this for 30 years, said his foster parents sent the most stuff she had ever seen.
Once we got back to the hotel, he wanted to get down on the floor and play. For just meeting us, he was smiling and laughing quite a bit. It was obvious after unpacking all of his toys, favorite quilt and presents from his foster mother, that he was very well-taken care of and shown a lot of love and attention, for which we are so grateful. These pictures are from meeting him at the airport and the first pictures from the hotel. He was very intrigued with watching Ella.
Yaaay! I'm so glad to hear that Trevor made it home safely and is doing well. He is just adorable. I love the picture of him sleeping. And big sister Ella just looks gorgeous and so grown up.
