Our agency finally received our packet of information on Friday afternoon. Instead of trying to trust the mail system again I made the hour drive to Portage to pick up the package myself. No new pictures other than the small one on the medical exam page. Here are a few details about Olivia....Her Chinese name is FU BAO XING (Foo-Bow-Jing). It means "treasure and excitement". Her date of birth was estimated to be June 20, 2006. She is living in the "Fuling Social Welfare Institute" which to my surprise, when looked up on the Internet, has a lot of websites about this orphanage. This town is about in the middle of China. It was very interesting to see actual pictures on the internet of where she is living right now. Her medical exam seems to be normal. Her "development" only goes up through her 5th month which says she could sit by holding hands, support her head upright, respond to her name, choose bigger toys and stare at things she wants. "Daily habits"....she lives in a group environment, has her own bed, is now drinking milk with rice cereal and some vitamins. She also likes veggie soup, eggs, and tofu. "Personality"....She is social, likes to play with adults, likes music the most, concentrates on the TV screen when she hears music.
Not a lot to tell right now. We should get updated information as the weeks go by. I need to take some time to go through all the information they have included in this packet about our trip over there and what we need to do before that. It is a little overwhelming but I'm sure everything will fall into place.
One problem we have encountered is we have not decided on a middle name for her. We were waiting to see what her Chinese name would be but now that we know, we want to use an American name. Anybody have any suggestions??? Let us know by posting in the comments.
Meanwhile, I have a lot of work to do......I'll keep you posted!
