We had a little birthday celebration for Ethan today. The girls made a cake and we each said a wish out loud for him. Then we blew out the candle. NiNi was very concerned that we would not be able to then EAT the cake since Ethan was not here. We did eat it and saved 5 pieces in the freezer so we can eat it again after he comes home!
Ok, so a few more details about our little boy. First off, can you believe that we received his referral on the 3 year anniversary of when we received Alina's referral? April 27th! Pretty amazing, huh! He was placed into care at Luohe SWI in Henan Province when he was 6 weeks old. After a few months he was not gaining weight and was apparently transferred to a foster care center in Beijing to get more specialized care. His lip was repaired in Decemeber 2009 and palate repair is scheduled for June. The last medical report we have is from Novemeber, so I'm eager to find out his current weight. I do know that his development otherwise seems relatively on track (crawling, babbling, sitting unsupported, etc.) So now we're waiting on our fingerprinting appointment and then immigration approval and then we can send over dossier!
