This is Adam

This is Adam. Right now he is at the Zhangye Social Welfare Institute (SWI) in the Gansu Province of China. Adam, know as Zhang Bei, was found as an abandoned boy in September 2003, approximately 2 months after his birth. He was found at the gate of the Bank of China at Dong Da Jie where it is estimated he had been left for 2 days. A passer by found him and called the SWI. Adam was born with a cleft lip and palate. His lip has been surgically repaired. A few months after he gets home we will begin the process of repairing his palette. We will be traveling to China in mid October to bring him home. Our travels will take us to Beijing, then Lanzhou (the capital of the Gansu province where we will adopt Adam) and Guanghzou.
