About Me

Follow our travels to China as we head East to pick up our son, Jackson. We are flying to Beijing in a couple of days and meet him for the first time a few days later in Guangzhou.

Monday & Tuesday

Jackson passed his TB test!  Woo-hoo!  He had a red spot where they gave him the shot, but it measured within the 'okay' limits.  The nurse looked at it very carefully and slowly.  (A little nerve racking for us mom's)  Great news and all is well.  We finished the day off with another afternoon at the pool.  I think we have a true swimmer here!  He loves the water and will not admit that he is freezing, even though he shivers visibly.  Typical kid.

On Tuesday, we headed to the US Consulate to take our final oath for adopting this little guy.  Lots of families there and we all stood and took the oath together.  Pretty uneventful.  More waiting than actual paperwork.  The final document is being processed today.  He has his own passport and needs a Visa stamp on it.  We will get that tomorrow, and then we will travel to Hong Kong for the night.  We will fly out of Hong Kong on Thursday morning and head back to the good 'ol USA!!!!  Yay!!  Ready to be home and ready to be back for the fall weather.  I can't wait to get him a halloween costume...he would be a great clown!  Or a little karate kid.  Our hotel has sounded like a kung fu movie ever since we got him.  Lots of 'haiiiii-yah's!!   This child has made us laugh countless times.  He is truly a great kid.  You all are going to love him, too!
