Christian had successful surgery for Myelomeningocele in 2006 and now is a healthy boy who is developing normally. He likes drawing and watching cartoons. Christian hopes to have his own family some day.

JANUARY 2015 UPDATE BELOW:

Christian’s U.S. host family describe him as a very outgoing, energetic, usually smiling and happy boy. He is friendly and curious, affectionate, and open to meeting everyone. He’s a bright kid, good at memory games and puzzles. He is active and agile, eager to try anything. New situations were no problem. He remembered household routines and often volunteered to help. He understood and knew a few English phrases and words and learned more during his visit. He had good coordination and enjoyed physical play–playgrounds, bouncy houses, basketball, scooters—and he was very persistent about trying new skills like swimming. His hosts say he is a very open kid, easy to read and eager to please, and they suggest he would thrive in a family situation that involves lots of sports, physical and outdoor activities.
