Earlier photo of Luke Tian Bo

This was the image posted on the waiting child list with Children's Hope International back in Oct. Poor Luke is dressed head to toe in traditional "girl" colors (remember girls make up around 95% of the orphanage population) and standing out in the snow. He is dressed in so many layers he can hardly move. Notice the hat with Snoopy. It appears that Snoopy is smoking a pipe (probably to stay warm in Urumqi!) I think these first pictures is the reason that no one selected Luke. I read his files and looked at his picture often. He has an identified medical need that sounded a little scary. Later new photos were posted and we see a totally different little boy, all medical reports look good. Our pediatrician read over the reports and said it sounded like he was in fine health. Of course we know things may be different when we get him but we are hoping for the best.
