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.

We are DTC!

That's dossier to China! On June 16, I got an e-mail from our adoption agency, ASIA, with those palpitation-inspiring initials in the subject field. And an exclamation point. Following close behind was another e-mail  that said Recall: DTC! I shot off a puzzled query. Oops, they said, didn't mean to mess with your head. They had merely forgotten to attach the invoice. Whew!

In any event, it's time to bring this blog out of the dark, T.J. We have written our first letter to you and we hope it can be mailed in China by our au pair when she travels there on Saturday, perhaps along with some presents that will make it past the orphanage and on to you and your foster family. First, though, we need a log-in date for the dossier. We are lucky enough to have an agency willing to walk our dossier in to the Beijing headquarters of China's adoption central.

We are hoping that all goes well and that the family can travel to China by the end of the year to bring you home, T.J. It's going to be a rough transition for you at the age of 7, leaving behind everything you know.The sooner we get started, the better. In the meantime, we will be writing you letters and hoping for more photos as we send out our love to you.
