Bal Jagat Holiday Party

We decided to go to the Bal Jagat Holiday Party in Lakewood to meet with other adoptive families. Alex wanted to see all of the little kids. He is very sxcited about having a MeiMei (little sister in Chinese). When we arrive Hemlata pulls us aside. She received a call from U.S. Asian Affairs telling her that new restrictions on Chinese adoption would be going into effect May 1, 2007. Among the new rules, no one over age 50. She says that if we have our paperwork in Beijing by April, we will be fine.

We meet a couple at the party who are there for the second year without a child. They are hoping to get a referral soon...2 years!

We get home and I immediately go into overdrive on the paperwork. Now the clock is ticking.
