Our inaugural First Glimpse tour departs May 7th. This tour will follow the sample First Glimpse Itinerary provided here. Tours will depart the first and last Friday of the month from the U.S. beginning May 7th. Guests will fly into Beijing and for return to the U.S. As always – we can work with you to customize your tour options!

Our First Glimpse Tours are designed with future or prospective adoptive parents in mind. We understand how hard the wait to adopt can be. Why not begin your Chinese journey now? We’ll guide you through China’s historical sites and provide you with cultural experiences that will prepare you to instill in your future child a love and understanding of their birth country and its culture. Our tours include a visit to CCAA, China’s Center for Adoption Affairs. You can tour the grounds and see where the adoption process takes place!

Families will also have the option of returning to the U.S. from Shanghai and experiencing the 2010 World Expo. Shanghai’s “Better City, Better Life” theme is expected to attract hundreds of nations from all corners of the globe.

You will also have the option of visiting an orphanage and participating in one of our charity missions like Libraries of Love. For children who may never be adopted, this is an opportunity to provide them with tools for a hopeful future. This is a chance for you to impact China’s children in an amazing and touching way before you even adopt!
