Congratulations!
Congrats to Henry, Lydia, and Yeshe!
(we apologize for the large picture)
Nnamdi Chiumbo is a boy from Nigeria who will be turning 5 in a few months. He is generally a happy boy but is very shy towards other people. We found him in a poverty-stricken village, huddled next to his deceased grandfather's week-old body. According to the other villagers, Nnamdi was raised by his grandfather, because a few days after the boy was born, his unmarried parents disappeared. Whether they were eloping, ashamed, or something else, no one knew.
When Nnamdi does speak (which is uncommon) he speaks Igbo. He will need to learn English. He loves cats and small dogs - hopefully Chaka's gentle temperament will help Nnamdi learn to be comfortable around large animals. Nnamdi seems to have a difficult time adjusting to new things and may isolate himself, but we're sure he will come around in time.
Thank you for taking Nnamdi into your home - he is a very, very sweet boy and we're sure he'll get along great with your family. Please tell us how everything goes.

Thank you so much! As soon as we saw Nnamdi we knew he was meant to be with us :) Luckily i know a few Igbo words as my travels have taken me to Nigeria in the past. Nnamdi hasnt spoken yet but he seems to be quite happy with us and surprisingly enough he has become quite attached to Chaka! Yeshe was surprised that his new brother was around the same age as him as he was expecting a baby; he was quite shy at first but i can just tell they are going to be double trouble!
