Sorry to hear that Scott. I am most worried for my wife's son. I hope he doesn't push to strong to remain in China but wishes to come with his mother.

And as to moving to the West - actually all the woman have to travel East inorder to get to the West. Ironic.

Yes my wife's son is also 15 years old. He says that he is interested in coming to Canada but when the actuall time comes to leave - he might change his mind. I would have hoped that her child was younger so that I could have had a better affect on his mental development. He has not had a father figure in his life and I feel a sense of bitterness in him at times. I think the best influence is that he has meet my son so at least there will be a familiar face for him. My son lives with me and he is 1 year younger at 14. I always wished for my son to have a younger sibling, but now it seems that he will be the younger brother (De de).

NOT EASY.

and I am sure we will have more discussion on this when I go on my trip.
This is going to require much pray, and much more thinking.

Mike have you looked into the immigration problem if you split the visia processing between family members coming in different time frames? I seem to recall for Canadian's that it adds to the degree of headaches for qualifying. Our government rather have all possible members who wish to immigrate to apply at the same time.

Of course, you being American, your government might have different rules.

Your coming close to journey time so my wishes for a safe journey.
