Ying and I are having our first. The due date is probably going to be in November around Thanksgiving. It's still to early to know what it is, but as soon as I do know I will pass it along. WE have also made some decisions and have put our foot down on a few points. Since I'm living in quarters provided by the school we won't be having the permanent mother-in-law living with us, instead once Ying decides she needs extra help, her sisters (she has 4) on what I think will be a rotating basis will come down to help around the house till that last month where she and the sister on duty will travel from Kunshan (or wherever I'm at) to Yanji where her family and friends who are doctors live to have the baby. Once it gets close to the delivery day, I going to try to have some time off arranged (luckily my company has foreigners in key positions who understand how important a baby's birth is) to head to Yanji for the birth. Ying will then spend the "mandatory month" in Yanji then head back to Kunshan (or wherever). If a sister decides to travel with her, that's ok, because I know they won't be a permanent house guest.
We will be planning on getting the baby a US passport at the nearest US consulate and my company will help with the visa and residence permit.
I read somewhere that even if you and your wife are foreigners, you have to get a special permit to take the baby out of China even if it has a foreign passport. Is this true and what is the procedure of getting the permit?

Congrats to all who've just done or are expecting to!
As an aside, it's one sure way of making friendly contacts in your local community.

Grats!!! ...I have never heard about what I quoted above. If the kid has a foreign passport you do not need permission to travel AFAIK. I'd be interested in finding out for sure what this is all about though. |

Under Chinese law, any child born in China- regardless of passport- is treated as a Chinese citizen as long as they remain in China. They do not need a visa to be in China.
If the parents want to take the child out of the country, they need a permit just as any Chinese citizen would; I think these permits are obtained through the police but will leave it to others to fill in current details.
Once a child born in China has left the country and then re-entered, they are then considered just another laowai with the same visa requirements as the rest of us.

It was what we were hoping for, although my mother-in-law wanted a boy, everybody is OK with a girl The majority in my family has been boys (2 brothers, three nephews and half my cousins are boys). |
