Chinese name: Huai Chunrui
Birthdate: 06/12/06
He was born with club feet which he has already had multiple surgeries for.
He is fortunate to be living at a Christian, American-run orphanage for special needs children called the Phillip Hayden Foundation (a very worthy charity). The nannies that take care of him are Chinese and speak Chinese, but he surely has spent time with some English-speaking people there too. We're told that the Chinese nannies call him Rui, but his nickname with the Americans there is Jacob Jai or JJ. We will name him Calvin Jacob Jai Rowenhorst.
We sponsored Calvin and began pursuing his adoption in early 2009. The story of that and Charlie's subsequent adoption is for another post. It's been a long time coming, but God is faithful.
This one of the first pictures we saw of Calvin:
And this is a fairly recent picture:
