So far we've gotten Alex's health letter and the dogs' immunization records together. We still have some work to do! This Wednesday we will go to the Austin Police Department to get our background checks done and get fingerprinted. What fun. :-)

We decided to register for this East Meets West China Adoption conference in Tampa, Florida in November:

I copied this from the site:

The East Meets West China Adoption Conference is held twice a year and each time the conference is held in a different state. The conference provides insightful perspective from families, medical, legal and financial planning professionals, award winning authors, Chinese officials and many other experts in the field of adoption.

Upon completion of the conference, you will receive a certificate stating your completion of 8 hours of Hague-mandated training.

The picture of Alex shows Alex building two box towers. We'll call it the East Meets West Box Towers by Alex.
