January 1, 2011 : New Years Goal- BRING THIS BABY HOME!

First, let me introduce you to "Kyle". Kyle is in an orphanage in China. This is his photo and description from the orphanage:


Photobucket

ChildID/Name, Birthdate: Kyle, 12/28/1007
Location, Gender: Asia, Male Agency: Wasatch Adoptions
Details: "This sweet little boy has Hemophilia (A Grade). His caretakers say "He is so lovely, likes to play with other kids, he likes to put on new clothes, likes to play with aunt, and its interested in the toy car which he can move. He is handsome, extroverted, and active. We all like him and hope there is someone familiar with this disease who could love and care for Kyle so he can lead a full life with his very own forever family."

As of April I know:
- That he was abandoned at 8 months old in a hospital in Shanghai with a brain bleed due to a fall from a bed, and intramuscular bleed due to IM injection, as well as respiratory infection and anemia.
- That he has had many bleeds so far including GI bleeds and shoulder bleeds.
-That every report I have read so far from the hospital shows him as malnourished and with respiratory infections.
- That he does not sing because "in the instution they do not sing or play music"
- That he likes to play with the other kids, and his aunties and caretakers, and seems behind in some areas only because he cannot attend preschool because of his Hemophilia.
-That he is not allowed to go outside to play because of his Hemophilia.
- MOST OF ALL I KNOW THAT I LOVE HIM AND NEED TO GET HIM HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Pictures

We had an orphanage visit yesterday as well as a visit to the hospital where he was abandoned. It was so overwhelming I do not even have words for those visits right now....its just too sad and there are so many things I need to describe about it, I have to do that in a few days when it is not so embedded in my head as I am trying to forget a little bit of that right now. All I can say is that I will never ever be the same after seeing what I have seen. I am changed...not in a bad way but it has changed me. I think everyone should experience something like this and see these things so more can be done to help the situation.
So, for happy times- following are pictures of Gotcha Day and the day after. We are dealing with tantrums and a very headstrong little boy who wants to do EVERYTHING his self...and I mean major tantrums. But we will get through it- and I knew exactly what to expect and it was this!
