Logan (Chen Meng Wen) was sent to the orphanage on December 18, 2006. His birthday was estimated to be December 8, 2006. There was no birth note found with him. He was named Chen Meng Wen by the orphanage. Chen is one of the “Hundred Family Names” and all the children admitted to this orphanage in 2006 were given this name. Meng Wen conveys the hope that in the future he could become a sophisticated and knowledgeable person like Mencius (Meng Zi). Mencius was a Chinese philosopher that believed in the innate goodness of an individual. He believed that it was society's influence – its lack of a positive cultivating influence – that caused bad moral character.

Logan has a cleft lip and palate III degree. He had a very difficult time getting nutrients when he was first admitted to the orphanage however the nannies say he adapted quickly. They say he is a very playful boy and at the age of 5 months old they said he would often reach for other children in the neighboring cribs and grasp them with his hands without letting go making other children cry! We were surprised to find out that his lip was repaired in July 1, 2008! The doctors at the city hospital did a great job repairing his lip and providing before and after surgery care.

He is currently 21 months old. He eats 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. He goes to bed at 7:30pm and wakes up at 6:30am. He loves being outdoors and he is not a picky eater! His updated orphanage report states that he is fearless and his favorite foods are banana, crackers and yogurt. They say is he outgoing, extroverted and compassionate. He has 2 best friends at the orphanage. He is currently 22 lbs and 31.5 inches tall.
