Dang Fu Quan is only a bit over 33 inches tall and 26 pounds. By American standards this is quite small, but he is actually quite proportional. Mark and I think he has beautiful eyes, and we can not wait to see him smile. He has a repaired cleft lip and palate, so he has already had two surgeries in China. Fu will need additional surgeries as he grows. Fu's personality is described as bashful, quiet and gentle; but he gets along well with familiar people. He likes to look at books and brightly colored pictures, and he likes to listen to the teachers tell stories. Fu also likes to watch cartoons and play with toys. His favorite toys are little cars. He also enjoys playing outside. Fu Quan enjoys eating rice, dumplings, stuffed steamed buns, vegetables, eggs, milk and fruit.

Fu is currently in foster care, and we hope he remains there until we meet him. He has been in foster care since June 20, 2008, which was right after his surgery to correct his palate. Prior to surgery he resided at the Luoyang City Children's Welfare Institute.

We also have a name translation provided by our agency. Dang is a surname. Fu means blessing, and Quan means complete, whole or full.
