Our son’s school buddy

I mentioned back on October 23rd that a family from California was in China adopting a 12-year-old boy who went to the same boarding school as our son.

When the family returned home, Carmi emailed the mother and asked the mother to check with her son, Gage, to see if he knew “Mike”.

Carmi received a reply this afternoon that simply thrilled us to the core.

The mother showed our son’s most current photograph to Gage and Gage said Mike’s Chinese name right away.

On a humorous note, the mother typed into their translator that Mike was being adopted and coming to the US. Gage typed back asking if their family was adopting him! The mother explained the situation and Gage was happy to hear it.

This family only lives 40 miles from Los Angeles so we might have to see if we can fly into LA on our return home and get the two boys together.

That is SO COOL!  It would be great if you could get them together—what a wonderful entry into the US that would be for “Mike”.  grin
