Starting the Papermill again ..

So it starts pretty much all over again , with Paperwork and Lawyer's help for Qing's Son ( Tianchi ) to come to America . Hopefully about this time of next year . As we were waiting to receive personal Information and Document's from Qing's Parent's and Ex - Husband of my LaoPo . Ones we had those in Hand , it was off to the Immigration Office ( same Lawyer's that took care of Qing's Visa Application Forms ) . The sad part is , it cost about the same Money-wise and Time - wise , which is about a Year . So this Morning , after asking my LaoPo .. if she wanted to take the Train .. she kindly said .. NO , we'll drive . She actually wanted to drive this time , which was a first with the SUV .. driving this far .. that included three Freeway's to get there . She does sooo great , the only thing she still has trouble with is the " Parking " part . Her choosing where to .. and then .. how will I get there ? I have always known , that part she will have most difficulty with after getting her License . Don't we all ? This finally starting the process , makes us both happy . Because , both of us know .. Qing's Parent's are not the youngest anymore and having to care for a nine year old is not easy by no means . Knowing too , this will be hard on us/him .. ones he gets here and has to adjust to the American way of School's - Life and the Language of course . He is still young and we all know , Kid's adjust quickly to most changes at their age .. with our utmost support in all area's . That of course will test " Us " on Patience/Understanding what he is having to deal with at age 9 . First Step is now taken care of , step two is in about six month's time . How we know this Game of Immigration , but are so helpless with each outcome .. as their are the ones making a Decision for you .
