Hi, everyone! After another saga of paperwork, waiting and red tape stuck to more paperwork, we're finally here! We're leaving very soon for China to meet our new son.
His name is Sun Bao Tong. He's two-and-a-half years old and waiting in Shanghai. Of course, it's actually us who are waiting for him. He's probably perfectly happy to remain where he is at the moment, with the surroundings and faces that he knows. Like the beginning of any good thriller, the subject is totally unsuspecting of that which is to befall him. He's going to be gently wrenched from his environment and joined with a few other people who are laden with their own flavor of neurosis and all four of them will change each other forever.
The information we have of Bao Tong is sparse. The only photos are over a year old, so we're not really sure ourselves what he looks like, and it doesn't matter. Meeting him, the travel, the sites, the sounds, the unexpected -- it's all part of the adventure. It's our second time to make this trip. We adopted our daughter, Kira, 3 years ago. That was a fantastic adventure, and she's along for this one. We're glad to have you along as well.

Good luck Kim! I'll be anxious to hear your impressions of life with an additional little sub-unit!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and welcome to the new addition. You'll have to tell us what Kira thinks of all this, too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and hope the flight was bearable!
