Thanks for the link. It has some similarities to our lives. My wife and I are both journalists, too. And, we will be going to Xian in October to get our son.

Of course, the similarities end there. I wasn't against adopting (although I will admit to not being sold on China early on when we briefly discussed it.). We went through all the medical stuff, looked into domestic private adoption and tried to adopt the state adoption program — all of which got us nowhere. Then, we went to a seminar about China adoption and we both knew it was right for us. Since then, we've both been totally into this and can't wait for October to get here.
