		<description>I was wondering if there was a way to get in contact with Mrs. Jang, Woo-kyung? She was our son&#039;s foster mother from 2 days old until he came home at over 6 months old.</description>

		<description>Hello, 

I adopted a Chinese boy around 11 years ago. I adopted him here in the U.S. He was 13 at the time and not documented. I was able to adopt him and send him to school. He is now a businessman and has 3 restaurants under his belt. Lan my wife who is also Chinese would be interested but do not know anything about the procedures. I think it would be different dealing with the government. I have been to China 5 times and even have visited and stayed with my son&#039;s biological parents. I know you said there was very little time I don&#039;t know if any of the information I gave you would give us a chance. Also we would need to know what all the fees would be. Thank You Patric Meredith, 29181 Frailey Drive, Elkhart,IN.</description>
