Where did the cats live ? In your bed? ha ha ha...

He has been changed since I came here: 1.Sleep at night without a fan on. 2.Everyday eat Chinese food. B)

it does seem interesting. i wonder if he got on the wrong bus accidentally or if someone took him. by the time he got out of ningxia any information he could provide about his name and hometown would have been useless if he didn't know what province/autonomous region he came from. i doubt china had a centralized database of missing children at the time. does anybody know if they do now? They are just setting it up now. It is really a outrage here on this issue. It is not just missing children! There are groups that steal children from their parents, for instance, in Dongguan, over a thousand got stollen and sold to others all over the country. The government is setting up a DNA bank to try identify the missing children and crack down on trafficing but not doing nerely enough. Thank god there are over 10 thousand volunteers now actively helping the police, some posting as buyer and try catch the human trafficers. One guy actually "bought" over 40 babies, resulting in lots of arrests. But it is far from sufficient from stopping it. The worst is some buy them and cut off an leg or arm or otherwise deform the children and force them into begging. Each time I see those deformed children on the side walk my heart sank. It could be my baby if they steal her. The only way to solve the problem is to set up a private organization, and with the police turning a blind eye, take care of business. When I was a little girl, I was told by my parents to memorize my parents name, home address and other detail information about my family. i was tired of remembering all of these. When I have my own son, I did what my parents did on me. When I visited Bejing with son in March this year, son always grasped my arms in order not be lost. And even when we got to the U.S, I told my son many times about our house address in English and telephone number. I believe China should set up strict law to punish people who steal kids.

Husband made a plan which a lot of things would be done. I will post more later.

Cold pizza and a beer ought to start the day well! I wonder if he is my husband? B)

On Saturday, Sunday and the Labor day? Amanda

"Enjoy your time off from work and responsibility."---- This is what Richard wishes.

My son got his green card on August 25 which was his first day to go to middle school in Clearwater, FL. He is struggling his language at school. But he said all of the teachers are nice and he has started to say something to Richard in English, which made Richard very happy. Amanda

Cool ! I thought of POE by ocean cruise. After POE, stay at home waiting for green card by mail. During waiting , your wife can go to local SSN office for applying for SSN and it will get to her by mail too. Amanda

Congratulations! On the same day, you got a wonderful email while I got my green card both from USCIS. Amanda

I got my greencard today. Amanda
