Do they speak Spanish in China?

Yep, that was the question that Cameron had for us last night. This came after we had dinner with some friends who are in the process of also adopting from Ethiopia. They have a little girl who was adopted from China and I was trying to explain to Cameron what adopted meant. The only question he had was "Do they speak Spanish in China?" So, maybe we'll have a bit more difficult time than we thought explaining this whole adoption thing to Cameron. Stuart and I have decided not to tell him because of his little enquiring mind. This is the same kid who had a countdown on for 90 days until he could start school. So, we can't imagine having to answer the same question day after day after day when there really is no definite timeline on when we get this baby. So, we will continue to gradually introduce the topic to him but the goal is to not really divulge a lot of information until referral day. As far as paperwork goes, we're still waiting (that seems to be a common theme doesn't it?). Once we have our I171H and our cover letter from our agency we'll be ready for the certification/authentication process. Then once we get that done, we're on the list. There will be a celebration when I don't have to carry around that manila folder under my arm everywhere I go.
