I forgot to post last night, so here is the update from yesterday. Aris had his doctor appointment which went well. Then he had to get immunization shots. One of the changes made with the Vague Convention on adoption is that we no longer have the option to do immunizations when we get home. They are mandatory to be up-to-date before we leave the host country. The doctors told us Aris needed 6 shots. I (Kevin) tried to see if I could get it reduced, thinking that some were required at 2 years of age. Since Aris won't be 2 until the end of July, I was hoping they would let us delay them until we got back. No luck. He got 6 "pokes" (shots). He screamed from the sight of the first needle until the last shot. The good news is he seemed to have no adverse reaction to the immunizations.

This blog is about our journey to adopt a child from China. It began four years ago (thus the title of our blog) when we had two daughters, 3 year old Haven and 18 month old Naomi. Now, Haven and Naomi are 7 and 5 respectively and we also have added our very vibrant son, Levi, whom we adopted from the country of Nepal in April of 2008. Levi turned 4 years old in early February. We are excited to be on this journey of adding another child to our family.
So glad things are going well in China. Thinking of and praying for you. Can't wait to meet Aris! Love, Tracy
