Nickolodeon Jr. has just introduced a new program - and although it is now just a little bit young for our boys, it is a show that we are excited about. It is called "Ni Hao, Kai-Lan". The show is a play-along, think-along series that weaves together Chinese language and culture, preschool-relatable stories, and interactivity, with Kai-lan as your intimate friend and playmate! Here's a little bit of what it's all about: "Ni hao!" means "Hi" in Chinese--and that's how Kai-lan greets you every day! Kai-lan Chow is an exuberant Chinese-American preschooler, almost 6, who wants you to come play with her and her best friends. Kai-lan's world is infused with Chinese culture and is brimming with magical sights and sounds, and everywhere you turn there's something amazing and beautiful to see. Along the way, she and her bilingual buddies speak in English and Chinese, but they always need kids' help to find creative solutions to the daily dilemmas that come their way! As "Dora the Explorer" is to Spanish - so is "Ni Hao, Kai-Lan" to Chinese. Check it out!

CCAA Update 2-2008
The CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) has updated their website with referrals through December 27, 2005. That means that this last month saw a whopping 8 days (although with the entire year of 2007 having an average of only 6.9 days per month, this was actually an improvement). Let's hope that this is at least a small sign of good things to come.
