Preparing for China


As the travel services coordinator for adoptive families adopting in China, I am preparing for my first trip to China!

I will be accompanying 12 families on their trip to China to complete their adoption process. We will be traveling from Kentucky to Beijing to Chengdu to Guangzhou and then back home over the next two weeks.

For nearly 15 years now I have had the desire and interest to see China and I am really looking forward to seeing many of the places I have studied in college and in graduate school.

Besides satisfying my personal interest in China, I am really looking forward to gaining an expertise that I do not currently have when I advise families about how to prepare for their China trip. Join me on our journey as I document, in what I hope is a thoughtful and insightful presentaiton on the processes of adoption and the dynamics of an evolving China.
