For those of us who wonder what it might be like if our Chinese child were still in China in their first family, here is an interesting article.
I also thought it was interesting that his parents chose the English name for him of: Seven Eleven (not Jack, for example.)
Some of our adopted Chinese children came with what sounded to us like odd names. Others of us were lucky enough to have someone tell us that the name occurs in a famous ancient poem, perhaps, one that is not commonly known to the modern scholar.
