"The country comes to a screeching halt this time of year," he said.

While in China next week, the Huntsmans and their 7-year-old daughter had planned to pick up Asha at an orphanage in western India. Now they hope their seventh child will be in Utah by Thanksgiving.

"It's tandoori turkey for us," Huntsman joked, referring to an Indian food style.
