All About Chip

You may remember my post about Chip HERE. At that time, Chip's file had never been translated so we could only imagine what his personality was like.

Well, thanks to two wonderful women who are *invaluable* to me (Tina and Lee!!), we now have a glimpse into Chip's background and his life up to now.

His official diagnosis is "Right lower limb disability". They did a head CT, which came back completely normal. They also took x-rays of his knees and pelvis. While his right knee is normal, his right pelvis is "asymmetrical" and his right leg bones  "develop smaller" than his left. There are 3 pictures of his legs in his file.   For privacy reasons, I am not including them (think nakey pics!). I had to chuckle when I read that on admission, he was "a little bit fat"!


Here is just SOME of the things Chip's caregivers had to say about him (believe me, they had a LOT to say!):
"Chip" gets along with other children very well in the institute. 
His character is outgoing.
He likes to play the games and learn with other children. 
He loves to help teachers to do things what he can afford.
He recognizes simple numbers and Chinese PinYin. 
He can do some simple dance. He memorize poem (Three Character Classic) 


Here is what his caregivers said when asked how Chip feels about being adopted:
As a result after asking "Chip", he is willing to be adopted by foreigners. He is willing to have his own real meaning of home. 



It's about time Chip learned the real meaning of HOME. Who gets to be the lucky family to teach him?
