Ann at Redthread, the woman who assembled and sent our last care package out to Kai, really pulled through for us. She made some extra calls to the orphanage and was able to obtain a couple new photos and measurements for us. He is growing to be a big, healthy boy. He weighs about 20 lbs. and is 30" tall. He will be 14 months old on the 14th. We were surprised to also learn that they are planning to repair his cleft palate in China. We have heard many good things about the quality of the surgeries done in China. Although we are sad that we may not be there to care for him as he recovers, it will allow him to begin learning to speak that much sooner. If he doesn't have the surgery in China, his palette will not be repaired for several months after he gets home because of his transitional needs. Our fingers are crossed that we will receive our Travel Approval in the next few weeks. In the meantime, join us in kicking back and admiring the "cuteness" that is Kai. :)
