Kurt, Christine, Garret, and Brett,

Congratulations, what a long road this has been. Understanding a bit about how things happen over there, I have huge admiration for your patience, and can not imagine the roller coaster of feelings and emotions. If there is anything we can do to help, let me know. Before you go, you may want to get her name in mandarin characters, and while you are there, get a stone carved with her chinese characters, and an ink pad so she can "chop" (it is their term for official stamping signature) her important documents over time with her first name also. Wei Ya Yuan - she is a real cutie, and it is a good name. If you will be traveling to Shang Hai, try to get her to Yuan Gardens and get a picture in the gardens.
