Our little boy is waiting for us in the Zhejiang Province, in Hangzhou City.

Blog Settings

We have taken our blog private as we are not able to publicly post pictures yet until we have official approval from China. We received notice yesterday that our Log In Date (LID) was 10/12/2010. This is the date that China has received our dossier and logged it into their system. The next step will be official approval (Letter of Approval - LOA). We are hoping for this by Thanksgiving, but the average wait time is 58 days currently.

The Big Update

So finally the big update that everyone has been waiting for..... we have decided to switch from Bulgaria to China (for a variety of reasons) and have a boy waiting for us. He is from the China Special Needs program - he has already had surgery to correct his special need. We saw him listed on an agency waiting children's list and requested his information and received it on his 3rd birthday!

His name is Sun Zhong Qiu and he was born on 5/25/2007. Sun would be the equivalent of our last names. His first and middle names (Zhong Qiu) were given to him as he was found during the autumn festival. His American name will be Maddux Samuel Bush.

Multiple pictures below for our cutie.
