More About Teddy

Our journey started only a year after bringing home our 8 month old daughter from China.
I knew I wanted to adopt again, so I started visiting Rainbow Kids online. I spotted our son's picture on their photolisting. We reviewed his file and started the process in February 08.

His Chinese name is Jiang Xiao Han. He was found with a letter stating his birth date. His birthday is April 24, 2004. According to the letter, he was abandoned when he was 1! Can you imagine spending a year with your child before you had to give him up! He had a misplaced urethra, so he was put on the special needs list. He went from orphanage to foster care and spent a few years with his foster family. He had surgery for the urethra when he was three. He is now back in the orphanage waiting for his Forever Family to come get him.

From the measurements we have gotten, he seems to be a tiny little guy. I think our Chinese children will seem like twins! Teddy is 4 and 1/2. Anna is 2 and 1/2.

Teddy: 37" tall
Anna: 35" tall
Teddy: 33 lbs.
Anna: 30 lbs.
