What are the options for schooling in Hong Kong?  Where can I go for an afternoon out with my toddler?  How do I find a dentist who is good with kids?  Can we adopt here?  Where can I buy the essential baby equipment?  Who do I call in an emergency?... As a new Mom, or as a Mom new to Hong Kong, there are many practical things to figure out.  Hopefully these links, suggested by experienced Hong Kong Moms in our group, will help point you in the right direction.
