Thanks, everyone, for your replies.

Lilith, thanks for sending me the information. I look forward to receiving it. As for where our daughter is exactly, that is to be determined by the CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs). We won't know what province she is in until we get our referral in 6 months or so. The only way to know that in advance is to go through the Waiting Child program for special needs children, which is not something we felt led to do at this time.

As for Chinese New Year, that is something that could affect our travel time. Some agencies try not to send groups during CNY or the big trade fairs. I'm not sure about ours at this point.
