According to the available data, more and more people in the states have been adopting children from other countries, including China. As a result, China has recently tightened their requirements for screening prospective parents. Personally, I think this is a great thing because these children deserve the best possible parents they can have after the rough start they got in life. The new requirements may seem callous to some, but in my opinion China has the right to make any rules they wish. The rules are only meant to protect the kids.
Anyway, it is really no surprise to us that international adoption is becoming an increasingly popular option since we obviously just completed an international adoption ourselves. We had the fortune of telling our adoption story to the Associated Press back in December. Here is the link to the article.

Happy New Year!
We rang in2007 at lake Quinault Lodge in, where else, lake Quinault, WA.
Spending time there as we did a couple of years ago was really relaxing despite being sick (all four of us!). This year we had the extra added pleasure of having our two lovely kids, their grammy, gong gong, uncle Greg, and aunt Debbie.
The only bad part was the lack of sleep since the kids were not feeling well. Other than that, we had a great time. It just went too fast!
I hope this year brings good fortune to all.
