What will you be doing on Halloween?

This year, instead of Trick-or-Treating, Bethany and I will be in Beijing, China!!! We received travel approval from the Chinese authorities just the other day. We also re-submitted our fingerprints for an updated criminal background check and are applying for our travel visas. Then we will receive final confirmation of the exact dates for travel to China. While there we will be able to do some sightseeing in Beijing then we will fly to our new son's provincial capital. It looks like we will get to meet our little guy on November 3. Then we will have appointments at the American Consulate and other official places to finalize the adoption. Eventually, we will return home on or around the 15th of November. Hopefully most of our relatives can come to our home for Thanksgiving so Jiang can meet his new family. Perhaps by Christmas, every one of our friends and family will have had the chance to meet him. We can't wait.

Stay tuned for more updates as the time draws nearer...
