About Adelina

Here's what we know about our sweet girl:
She was found at approximately one week of age, on the steps of a women and children's center, in ShanWei City, Guangdong, China. She weighed just over 4 pounds when she was found. So, she was more than likely a preemie. She's still a little peanut! At age 20 months, she weighed 18 pounds, and was 29" tall.

Her Chinese name is Shan Wei Chun. Shan Wei is the surname that all the babies in her orphanage are given. Chun means "spring flower" or "pure" in Chinese. We chose to give her an American middle name of Rose (the purest spring flower we could think of), and to kep her Chinese name (Chun) as her second middle name.

Adelina is labeled as a "Special Needs" child, because her development is behind other children her age. She isn't crawling or walking yet. We hope that a lot of love and a little therapy will go a long way. No matter what the future brings, we can't wait to share it with this precious creation of God!

Her birthday is June 27, 2005. She shares her birthday with a very special little boy...named Isaac Corrigan! She and Isaac were born on the same day, and are exactly 2 years apart! How neat is that?

Thanks for sharing in our journey!
