Portland Art Museum Presents: China Design Now
October 10, 2009 - January 17, 2010
China Design Now explores the recent explosion of critically compelling design and architecture projects created in China, contextualizing the impact of rapid economic development on these projects in three of the country’s major cities—Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. This immersive, multi-sensory exhibition captures a dynamic phase in China, as it opens up to global influences and responds to the hopes and dreams of its new urban middle class.
Free Museum Family Day: Sunday, November 8, 12:00-5:00 pm
The third in an ongoing series of free family days will feature Chinese dance, music, and food, along with art-making activities inspired by the three cities featured in China Design Now. Visitors of all ages can build their own cities using recycled materials provided by the School and Community Reuse Action Project (SCRAP).
Museum admission on November 8 and participation in Museum Family Day is free for all visitors.
If you or your family cannot make this free day but are interested in joining an FCC tour group on a weekend ($11.00 adults; Free 0-17), please e-mail Kelly Hagele at idahoretreat@netscape.net with number of attendees (both adult & kid). Tour dates will depend upon group size.

FCC Waiting Families & First Years Home
Fei Yang, Senior Adoption Coordinator, from A.S.I.A will come and speak to the group about current conditions for China adoption, Waiting Children (special needs), and the new TB requirements for our November Waiting Families.
If you know anyone considering international adoption, interested in knowing more about Waiting Children, or considering whether or not China is a country they want to consider for their adoption, this is the meeting for them and for you. Fei Yang will bring details about all the changes the Hague regulations brought what adoption looks like right now from China.
If we have time, we will allow the time at the end for questions about the Taiwan program, as well. The last half hour of our meeting (4:30pm-5pm) our returning families will come to introduce their children to us and tell us about their recent journeys to China.
Date: November 1
Time: 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Place: Portland State University
1721 SW Broadway
Cramer Hall, room 250 (signs posted from the south entrance)
Parking is free in PSU lot across the street on Sundays.
Anyone considering adoption is welcome.
This meeting is the perfect way to answer all those questions one has at the beginning of the process, and all the questions those of us may have who are considering returning to China for another adoption.
