Update on Jack

We received some updated information on Jack this afternoon. We've learned he's gained about three pounds in the last three months. We are glad to hear that because we were certain all his pants would drop to the floor. He is tall enough for 2T clothes, but his weight put him in 12 months size. I bought plenty of adjustable waist pants, but the extra pounds will definitely help.

It sounds like his personality is blossoming in foster care. I hope he can pick up the pieces with us.

Here's the run down:

Height: 88 cm

Weight: 26.4 pounds

Head circumstance: 46.3 cm

Chest circumstance: 50.2 cm

Foot length: 14.4 cm

Number of teeth: 18

Favorite toys: Toy guns, Balls & Toy cars

Favorite food: Steamed egg, Meat soup, Cake & Biscuit

Personality: Extroverted, active and outgoing; love laughing, a little bit assertive and stubborn

Caroline,
I found your site from adoptacleft. We are traveling leaving the 23rd to adopt Jin Zhen Xian who has cleftlip/cleft palate from Guangxi. We are going to Nanning. Are ya'll going to Nanning?

Hi Lisa,

We are traveling to Nanning too. We arrive on Feb. 26. I believe we are staying at the Wharton Hotel. I have heard some negative comments about the hotel, but we are hoping for the best.

Our consultate appointment is March 8. So, I am not sure when we head back to Guangzhou.

Has Jin Zhen Xian's lip or palate been repaired? Jack still needs a palate repair.

Hope to see you there,

Caroline
