A Care Package and a letter to Shen Yong's Children's Home Director

Here is the letter we sent off hoping for some word on our son. It has been 4 months since we began to work on bringing George home to our family so we are hoping to hear something soon if possible.


Christina and Jim Copeland

Shen Yong

02-29-2007

Ningbo City, EnMei CWI, Zhejiang Province


We would like to request updated sizes and pictures and get the answers to the following five questions:

1) How is Shen Yong feeling about his adoption into our family?

2) Is he doing well in school and what grade level classes is he taking now?

3) What are some of Shen Yong's favorite things to do, games to play when he gets to choose?

4) What is he most looking forward to about having brothers and sisters?

5) Is Shen Yong's medical condition (hypospadias) corrected to a normal range level or will he require further surgery or medication treatment when he gets to the US?

We are looking forward to traveling to China and becoming his parents. He looks very healthy, happy and full of energy in the pictures we have seen of him from his referral so we know he will get along with everyone in our family just fine.

If you have the opportunity, can you start working with him to learn some English prior to our arriving in China? We will be working here in the US to learn some Mandarin so that we can communicate more easily with him when he moves to the US. We will be happy to pay for the Tutor as described to us by our Adoption Agency, Families are Forever.

Thank you for taking such good care of him until we can arrive to complete his Adoption.

Sincerely,

Jim and Christina Copeland
