The process of relocating to China can be a time rife with uncertainty and anxiety. It’s not surprising if questions like: Where should we live? Will my kids fit in their new school? What will work be like? How often will my spouse or I be traveling and away from the family? Is my marriage up to the task of withstanding the pressures of an overseas move? While I’m sure there are loads more question marks swirling around your head perhaps keeping you up in the middle of the night, in the end, each of these questions really points to this—Are we making the right decisions, both in choosing to relocate overseas, and in all of the small choices we will need to make along the way?

I sat with relocation expert, Adam McWhirter, and in this first episode in our relocation mini-series, I’m positive that the wisdom he shares from his experience moving hundreds of families to China will equip you with the right questions to ask in the pre-move stage of relocation.

You must be upfront you can be with your needs—no matter what they may be.
