I'm not quite sure what "brain paralysis" means in China; the children in the picture are standing and don't seem to be paralyzed. . . .Representatives of three Swedish adoption agencies recently visited Ruzhou Jingeng Hospital accompanied by officials of the provincial civil affairs department to extend their regards to brain paralysis orphans.The three adoption agencies were Children's Friend, Adoption Center and Transnational Family Adoption Agency from Sweden. They have set up branches and charity projects across the world. Each year, they adopt over 100 Chinese orphans. In this trip to Ruzhou, the three Swedish adoption agencies made preparations to adopt brain paralysis orphans recently recovered in Jingeng Hospital.
Talking about adoption, birthparents, abandonment, race, and China with my kids. That's not all we talk about -- but reading this blog, you'll think it's all we do!!!!!

Swedish Adoption Agency Visits Orphans in Ruzhou
From China Daily:
I think it's a fairly literal translation of cerebral palsy; in any case, that's what the hospital in question appears to specialize in http://henan.chinadaily.com.cn/ruzhou/2011-09/21/content_13761766.htm
ReplyDeleteYes, pretty sure they are referring to CP.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others. I coordinate the foster care program sponsorships at my daughter's former SWI and cerebral palsy is often referred to as "brain paralysis" in reports.
