Shen

This is the most recent photo we have of Kai's new little brother (Note: he's Cam & Ben's little brother too!). This picture was taken in October by a parent who was at the orphanage in Xi'an to adopt their daughter. They posted it online in an album of photos. They didn't know us or that we were adopting this little boy when they took the picture, or when they posted it, but we are very grateful to them. We have 5 pictures of him that we received from our adoption agency as part of his file. In all of those pictures he has a pretty sad little face, so it was really nice to get one of him with a happy face!

And now, I'm tired of only using pronouns when talking about him, so I'm going to tell you the name we have finally decided on. His new name is Shen.

We will keep Yu-Heng as his middle name, just as we kept Hui as Kai's middle name.
We had a harder time deciding on this name than we did with Kai's name. My preference is for short names. Cameron and Benjamin are longer names but they have good short versions: Cam and Ben that they use more regularly. We want to give him a Chinese name that is not difficult or awkward sounding to westerners. The Chinese character we chose for Shen is . It means "deep" or "profound".
