Coming Home!
Thanks to my sister Stace's efforts in dealing with the airline and travel agents, we are coming home tomorrow night! (She tried to get us rerouted on a flight through Bangkok and Nagoya today, but, no such luck.) The good news is we have a midnight flight Sunday evening from Hanoi to Seoul, and then we leave Seoul at 12:00 noon on Monday, arriving in Chicago at 9:30 AM Monday morning (we land in Chicago before we left Seoul)!
I have a question for the Curry Family or anyone else who has traveled back to the US with an adopted child on an IR3 visa with an entry point at O'Hare - how did the immigration experience go? Please reply here or email me at g r e t c h e n f a i t h at y a h o o dot c o m.
Yesterday we went to the Temple of Literature and also the Ethnology Museum. We enjoyed both but we are so ready to come home!

Hallelujah!!! But I'll be more glad when I hear you have your feet on U.S. soil. Safe Journey. Helen :~)
Hi Gretchen,
I replied on the Holt BB, but I'll reply here as well so I'm sure you'll see it. We didn't go through customs in Chicago (LAX -- UGH -- NEVER AGAIN!). A close friend did last March, though, when she arrived with her daughter from China who had an IR-3. She said is was very smooth, very easy, and everyone was nice and helpful. You should be fine. You exit customs into a nice, large waiting area. If you are connecting to another flight there are monorail-type trains to take you there. You shouldn't have to walk to far hauling luggage. Do you have long in Chicago? Hope your flight goes well. Hang in there you're almost done!
So excited for you all!! I will be so glad when you have Gabe and Lana together!! I am assuming she is able to fly?!
