You are such a blessing! Something must be going down, because agencies were notified today that there would be no court appearance!

They can choose to accept or reject. We must however, recognize the sovereignty of a nation, and while we can voice our opinion, we are at their mercy whether they will listen or not. But your opinions were delivered in a manner that is proper and not offensive (or give an apperance of whining), and very direct and simple. But most of all, it carried reasonable explanations why the extended stay is too difficult for all.Steve Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485811260567035056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283674149915853764.post-74824384051946941172013-03-12T08:05:50.809-07:002013-03-12T08:05:50.809-07:00Thank you MPAK team for this.

Steve, since you and your team are more familiar with Korean culture than most of us, I assume you will present this in a way that will reflex those differences? For example, if complaints about a sudden change in the policy because we were not told ahead of time will paint us as whiny Americans, maybe the emphasis should not be placed there. Maybe this type of sudden change is something that Koreans are used to, and the concept of “Grandfathering” is something they are not. I am just using this as an example but my point is that I think it is in everyone’s best interest for this to be painted in a way that will get us the results we want, as families just trying to bring our kids home,…not just to try to prove a point we may not win because of cultural differences. Even if the majority of folks are affected a certain way, you most likely know the aspects of this that may be the most effective arguments here when dealing with the cultural differences. Thanks again for everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283674149915853764.post-79859183320042450132013-03-12T06:26:01.708-07:002013-03-12T06:26:01.708-07:00Thank you for your tireless efforts.
