Hello everyone some exciting news yesterday - K got the call from Children's Bridge that we have been matched up with a little boy from China - B. We hope to travel to pick him up this December or January. He is from Guangdong province -- see the map below (the island of Hong Kong is just a short distance away - so about as far south in China as you can get).
He has a cleft lip (repaired) and a cleft palate (to be repaired in Canada) and two wild older twin sisters (he hasn't met yet). He will be 14 months old at the end of this month. B was born on April 26, 2007.
We think some of these photos are older than others (certainly older than his 6.5 month old medical report - it said he had no teeth and in one photo, when you zoom in, it looks like he has a mouth full). The 6.5 month report said he weighed about 16-17 pounds (the girls only weighed that at a year old) and his height was 70 cm (apparently in the top 25% for height, at least for Chinese kids). It also said his sleep was moderate and that he goes to bed at 10 PM and gets up at 6 AM (K groaned at those). He is apparently "active, outgoing and has a ready smile" (perhaps he can survive his sisters yet). It said he was crawling and could support his weight if you helped him stand up - so he may be walking by the time we get him (he would be 20-21 months old by then).
We will keep you posted if anymore info becomes available (when travel plans firm up etc).
