Update!

Oh, how is it possible to love someone we’ve never met so much?!?

We have been waiting for an update on Kai for so long. Since March to be exact. I thought getting new information would help ease the longing that we feel, but I think it actually has made it worse! Seeing his sweet smile makes us all the more eager to bring him home. This little man has truly stolen our hearts!

Of course, we take the information we have received today “with a grain of salt”, since we know that it may or may not be totally accurate.  Regardless, we wouldn’t trade it for the world. Here is what we learned today:

·       One critical piece of information that we learned today is that he has had additional heart surgeries in China. We don’t have many details regarding the procedures at this time…well, we do, but we haven’t mastered reading Chinese characters yet, so we’re waiting for the medical notes to be translated. We know that this will probably take a few weeks.

·        We also learned that he is now in foster care. So, he is no longer in the Jiyuan City Child Welfare Center. The update also said that he has a close relationship with his nanny.

·        The notes say that he is very introverted and has stranger anxiety…this could make things interesting when we get there!

·        He is a little peanut! He weighs just 22 pounds at 2 years old!

·      Sam’s favorite piece of information we learned today was that Kai loves to play with toy cars and trucks. Such a boy!

Now, for the pictures! This face melts our hearts!

We will keep you posted if we hear any additional information in the upcoming weeks before we travel!
