What's next, CIC, and Yingtan

We should receive the translated version of the Proposal by early next week.  We will get a medical report and forms to sign.  Our next step would be to get the medical information reviewed by a pediatrician and we have chosen one that our adoption agency has recommended. We used the same doctor in 2009 to review Kyla's information.

It's been great timing for the Citizenship and Immigration work that we have to complete.  The Proposal obtains information that we need to send off Part 2 of the steps to get Mei Mei her citizenship before she comes to Canada.

I have found some information on the city where Mei Mei is:

Location: Yingtan City lies in the northeast of Jiangxi Province, in the middle and lower reaches of Xinjiang River. It is bordered by Shangrao within the province and neighbors Fujian Province in the southeast.

History: According to archeological discovery, this area became a vital center of ceramic production as early as the middle and late Shang Dynasty (16th - 11th century BC). It was called Yingtan Fang in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), just the eponymy of the city. In the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it was only a town and ascended to be a city though more than a hundred years of development.

Physical Features: Yingtan belongs to the low mountainous and hilly area of northeast Jiangxi, having typical Danxia Landform. Within the city, over ninety percent of the plantation is paddy field.

Climatic Features: Enjoying a subtropical temperate and humid monsoon climate, the city is characterized by clear four seasons, moderate weather, abundant rainfall and long frost-free season. The weather in spring is inconstant and winter is relatively warmer. 

Here is the other picture that we have of Mei Mei.

I was informed by the agency that travel will most likely happen in January.  I am counting the days and Kyla can't understand why we can't just go now!
