Xiao Bin in Singapore
After arriving on May 3rd 2010 from Beijing, Xiao Bin missed his first surgery date, due to a wheezy cough. The next available surgery date is May 31st, and we are finally a few days away.... XiaoBin is in excellent health at the moment, and we are crossing fingers till then. It is estimated that his surgery will last more than 7 hours. Following cranial surgery with neurological and plastic surgeons, the orthopedic team will reconstruct his webbed hands. Recovery in hospital is expected to be for at least a week, and Xiao Bin will most likely need to stay another 3 weeks before getting the final ok to go back to Beijing.
ShuHua, his nanny from Blue Sky, has been taking great care of him while in Singapore. It has been HOT and HUMID, but both are always smiling and cheerful. They have been staying home most of the time, because he was recovering from his cough, and now we are just being extra careful that he doesn't fall sick before the surgery. As you can see in the picture, he did have a little outing at the beach, and on most days, he's playing with Sasha and Giulia at home. He's a very good natured kid, and only fusses when it's time to sleep !

Blue Sky May News 1
We had an amazing start to May 2010.
First we told the older boys that their dreams had finally come true. After years of watching the young and cute children leave Blue Sky to join their new families, it was now their turn. We had known of Luofei's and FuXia's adoption a while back - but we had waited to confirm that Xiao Dai's was a reality - because we could not imagine leaving him out, yet again. The past few years had seen his best buddies leaving, and each time, we could feel his silent pain. Finally, a confirmation for XiaoDai - and the bonus was to include Long Long in the line up, as well as 6 other children (Liyong, RuiXue, YinFeng, LuTao, Yaozhong, DangXiao). It's a good year for Blue Sky. We don't know when each will leave, but hopefully within the year !
Our 6th year anniversary party was emotional on all levels. Old friends, new friends, and the sharing of the adoption news and other milestones. Our staff enjoyed putting on their performances (a break from the childcare routine) and the kids had a great time. Really smiles all around. The older boys getting congratulated and reality sinking in that they will have families of their own.
