Jenny Gordon and her husband have completed all the paperwork. Sometime in the next 18 months they will fly to China to adopt the newest member of their family. The adoption will be uniquely special because it will be a link to Jenny's past.

"I can hardly believe it myself at times, but sometime in the next 18 months we'll be flying to the other side of the world, to the country where my grandfather was born: China."

The Gordons will make just one trip to China, which will last about two weeks. They may or may not ever meet the birth parents. They don't know when they're going. All they know is that when they come back, their dream of being parents will be realized.
