After much consideration, we are changing
Benjamin's middle name:
(see original post: http://journeytoganggang.blogspot.com/2010/11/us-homestudy-approved.html)
to Xigang
pronounced "shegung"
(his first and middle names combined)
Benjamin's given name is Yu Xi Gang
(as assigned by the Orphanage)
Yu is the surname.
Xigang in Mandarin:
Xi = West
Gang = Strong
Benjamin is heading west for a strong life!
It just feels right!
Benjamin Xigang
Benjamin Xigang
Sadly, Benjamin will have no knowledge of his birthparents
and likely no memories of China.
We are so proud of his heritage and culture and hope
his middle name is always something he'll treasure and appreciate.
By the way, our blog: journeytoganggang is a reference
to the orphanage's nickname for Benjamin:
and likely no memories of China.
