It is usually in the upper part of the refrigerator, sometimes near the back, close to the light bulb. The dial often looks like the kind of burner control knob you might see on a stove. Dials have either a set of numbers or notches representing the temperature settings. The dial itself may have an arrow on it that you point to the numbers to change the temperature. The dial inside your refrigerator may be very different than the one inside your neighbor's refrigerator. Although they look different from model to model, each dial works the same way. On most dials, the higher number or setting makes the refrigerator colder. If your refrigerator has a range of 1 to 5, turn the dial toward 5 to get a good chill going or turn it toward 1 if you need to warm things up a bit. If your dial has notches on it, turn the dial clockwise to cool things down. The best setting is usually in the middle of the dial. If your dial ranges from 1 to 5, try turning it to 3. If it's from 1 to 9, set it around 4. Your refrigerator may also have some handy "warmer" and "cooler" stickers on it showing you which way to turn the dial to adjust the temperature. You're aiming for a temperature around 37F (3C). Stick a thermometer on the center shelf and wait at least 5 hours for the new setting to take effect. Then, see if the temperature is to your liking. Keep using the dial to bring the refrigerator's temperature up to a healthy range. You may need to repeat the process a few times to find the perfect setting. Make gradual adjustments, letting the refrigerator rest for 5 hours or more each time. Once you find temperature setting you like, consider marking a line on the dial so you can easily reset it if it gets bumped out of position.

Once you arrive in China, you'll travel to the province where your child is located. Complete a Registration Application Letter of Foreigners Coming to China for Adoption. Submit it to the provincial department for civil affairs along with your original Notice of Traveling to China for Adoption, your signed adoption agreement, your passports, and additional passport-size photos. Provided your documents are in order, the provisional department of civil affairs will issue your Adoption Registration Certificate and Certificate of Conformity of Intercountry Adoption. Either during the registration process or shortly after, you'll be able to meet your child and spend some time with them. Depending on your child's circumstances, you may also take a tour of the orphanage where they lived prior to the adoption. You'll typically have the opportunity to ask someone who was responsible for your child's care before the adoption any questions you may have. Typically, you would speak through an interpreter. This can be a good opportunity to understand more about your new child's needs. Once you meet your child, you're likely going to be ready to get back home and get started on the rest of your life. However, plan on being in China for at least another 6 to 10 days while you get the right travel documents in place for your new child. At this point, you'll likely travel to Guangzhou to complete the adoption process. Using your Adoption Registration Certificate, apply for a new birth certificate for your child and get them a Chinese passport. The new birth certificate will list you and your spouse as your child's parents. It may also provide the name you've chosen for your child if it differs from the name the child was given at birth. Once your child has a Chinese passport, you can go to the US Consulate in Guangzhou to complete the application for your child's immigrant visa. Your adoption agency may help you out with this. Before your child's immigrant visa will be approved, you must take them for a medical examination with an approved panel physician. The US State Department recommends that you use the Guangzhou Health and Quarantine Service, which is located close to the US Consulate's main office in Guangzhou. It may take anywhere from 4 to 6 business days for the consulate to process your child's visa application and issue their visa. When it's ready, a consular officer will contact you to come to pick it up. When you pick up your child's visa, you'll also be given a sealed packet of documents. Do not open this package. When you reach the port of entry in the US, you must give this package to a customs agent sealed and intact. When you travel back to the US, you'll have to take your new child through US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the port of entry. Provide the CBP officer with your child's Chinese passport, visa, and sealed Immigrant Data Summary package that was given to you with your child's visa. The CBP officer will keep the sealed package. Those documents will be forwarded to USCIS for inclusion in your child's official immigration record. Because Chinese adoptions are legally completed in China, your child is automatically a citizen of the US. Typically, a Certificate of Citizenship will be automatically mailed to you. However, you can order one if you think you're going to need it sooner. If you want to order a Certificate of Citizenship, fill out Form N600 and submit it to the USCIS at the address listed on the form. As of 2019, you must pay $1170 for any certificates you order. You can download the required form at https://www.uscis.gov/n-600. The CCWA requires adoptive parents to submit post-placement reports 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after the adoption registration. The first 3 reports must be completed by the caseworker who originally prepared your home study report. You can write the last 3 reports yourself. The post-adoption report is similar to a home study in many ways, but it isn't as in-depth or time-consuming. Your adoption agency will have additional information on the requirements for post-adoption reports.

Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan, then place the saucepan on the stove. Set the heat to medium, and wait until the heavy cream comes just short of boiling. Place the chocolate chips into a heat-safe bowl, then pour the hot, heavy cream over them. You can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips for this. During this time, the hot cream will melt the chocolate chips without scorching them. If you don't have any foil on hand, you can use a plate instead. Lift the foil away, and briskly whisk the two together until everything is smooth. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl often. If you piped the frosting on instead, you can skip this step and more on to the next; you'd want to use the ganache before it starts to thicken. If you piped the frosting on, pour the ganache on instead so that you don't ruin the piped texture. You can also use crushed nuts instead of sprinkles. Once again, set the cupcakes down onto the muffin tin, and place the tin back into the fridge. This will allow the ganache to set up. Once the time is up, you can serve the cupcakes!
