What's in a name

I was looking into the meaning of the name Fu Quan. What I did not realize is that "Fu" is the name given to him to identify the orphanage he is in. In China the surname is first and the person's first name is last. Children in orphanages are all given the same surname which identifies what institution they are in and also makes them know as an orphan for life.  Where as "Quan" is his first name. They gave him the name Quan since he was born without his left hand. Quan means a form of perfection. Allie's birth name was Yin Le Feng. We dropped the Yin identifying the SWI she was in and kept LeFeng for her. Her name means  "happy" and "wind". Kind of fits. She is very happy,... and on the move! When we were waiting for Allie to come home we were able to look at photos of the orphanage she was in and be in contact with other families that had been there. Half the Sky also had an amazing program there. So we were provided with pictures and so much information on her from birth. That is awesome because we have photos for her to see. We even have the little foot prints.  The orphanage that Fu Quan is in is off the charts. There is no info out there or groups from there. What I am hearing is that they only started allowing adoptions from there just short of 2 years ago. I don't know what to expect. Since he has been there since shortly after birth I am hoping they will have photos for him to have. I have heard of families that don't have photos having someone do the opposite of age progression drawings (not sure what to call that) for the children to have. I think that's great. Just wishing things would move along a little quicker now. We are feeling very blessed that he will be our son. He will complete our family. I always tell the kids when they ask what nationality they are , they are American. But they still look further. Joshua is proud that he is Italian just like Pop pop. Hannah adds that she is half Italian and of course Polish. She loves that. Insisting we eat polish foods. They add that mom and dad are half Italian. Allie says she is Chinese. She is a very sensitive child, and a while back she asked me if I was Chinese. Knowing it was important to her I answered that God gave me a Chinese heart.  I never knew just how important it was to her until recently when I've heard her proudly repeat that to people. "My mommy has a Chinese heart". I don't know which one is more excited about Fu Quan joining the family. Joshua is thrilled to have a brother. Hannah is always just ,the more the merrier. And Allie is thrilled that there will be another person of Chinese heritage in the family. They are such close siblings. It is not out of the ordinary after tucking them all into their beds to find that they have moved to each other's rooms. The other night I found them all in Joshua's room. They had sleeping bags all over the floor. I really can't wait for Fu Quan to be home.
