Whew!

Marc located this important news from ChinaDaily online -- this could positively impact our trip if we go to Wuhan in Hubei Province -- he he he:

"If you are eager to relieve yourself but fail to find a toilet in Wuhan, Hubei, you can ask a special toilet guide to show you the way, the Changjiang Commercial News reported.

However, there are no free lunches. The service costs 3 jiao (3.8 cents) per time.
Special toilet guide has become a new profession in Wuhan The city has reportedly hired at least 10 such toilet guides. They are distinguishable by their red armbands. The special toilet guides, who can earn up to 10 yuan ($1.29) a day, mainly patrol the city's busy areas and scenic spots."

Marc on Fox News!

Yesterday, Marc and I went to our agency for a "Meet the Families" forum -- families who have recently traveled to China brought their daughters (and 1 son!) and talked about their experiences. Fox News (the local station) was there taping parts of it and interviewed the family who had adopted the surprise boy! Here is the link -- you can see Marc pretty clearly and the back of my head (thrilling!) Not sure how long this will be accessible, but just in case ... here is the link to the feature.

While we wait to see whether our agency's Group 50 referrals are going to be in this month's batch issued by the CCAA, here is a good account of the status of China adoption (scroll down to article on pages 3 and 4).

So will check in after Group 50 gets their referrals ... then on to Group 51 and then ... our turn!

Meanwhile, Tyler has China on the brain. He recently introduced Asha to a lady in the park as his "baby sister" instead of "baby sitter"!
