My beautiful son has done so incredibley well fitting in here that there has been nothing to say, really!!!! I on the other hand have had my hands full with him and my 2 1/2 year old - like all of a sudden I have twin toddlers and am completely exhausted.
Whatever I think about AoZhen's past, knowing it wasn't good....he is just so strong and sweet and in love with all of us. We have gone through some stuff...tantrums, etc. etc. all the "typical stuff" that adoptees would go through. But he has been the biggest blessing and is the sweetest most loving little boy I have no words to explain. He takes care of everyone...he wants to wash Max off when he has a dirty face, he kisses Max's owies...he is the best big brother. He wants to clean everything, which is great, but I have had to get him to tone it down a bit because he is a little obsessive. I am thinking it was because he actually had a mom for 8 months that he has been able to bond so well to us. I get I love yous and kisses and they were kind of "faked" at first but now I know they are real. I am so lucky and so blessed.
As far as the adoption part of him and the emotional aspect, so far so good. Now we are dealing with hemophilia and IV injections and finally the decision to put a Port in my guys to make their lives and mine easier. Maybe the orphanage wasn't as bad as I thought...he is really perfect. Hopefully my posts from now on will be mostly Hemophilia related and I don't have any real issues with adoption problems, which I know could come at anytime. I am not saying everything is perfect...I have 2 kids 18 months apart, there are the normal squabbles and fights. But I feel so lucky I can't say it enough. I don't know what the future will hold, but it will have a lot of love. He has even started daycare....he had too. He was so smart and so bored here with me on my maternity leave day after day- I started him 2 weeks ago. All is well accept for a few falls which caused some Hemophilia problems.
Thank you God for bringing this child into my life.
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:
ChildID/Name, Birthdate: Kyle, 12/28/1007
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!
