Welcome to 'Waiting for TJ'

We have a family blog about our two daughters, Jiejieandmeimei.blogspot.com. When we began the paper chase for a young man named Tianjun, we created a new web home for him. Since he will be about 7 years old when he joins our family, and not an infant as Jiejie and Meimei were, we want to give him as much history as we can as a member of our family, starting with our first look at a photo of him.

Getting Closer

TJ, we're getting closer to you! Our dossier has landed at ASIA, the adoption agency that made it possible for us to bring  you into the family. Within a week it will be on its way to China, and then we can send you the story of your forever family and start to make plans for our trip to Guangzhou to bring you home.

We were lucky enough to be able to walk in weeks before our assigned date and get fingerprinted. We even had  the notorious i-800a approved before our fingerprint date had arrived. We hope this kind of good fortune continues to pave our way on this journey.

Your father and I have spent long hours standing in line at the Chinese Consulate and a few cab fares trying to zip over there before a busy day at work.

When we're at our computers we look at your picture, play your video interviews, check and recheck air fares for that unknown travel date and think of you.

What are you doing right now? What do you think of when you consider the idea that a family is coming for you? What do you dream of?
