I googled every corner about our son's Social Welfare Institute and the city he is related. I found some news about his SWI and a list of children who received surgeries in 2008.
慈善救助让17名孤残儿童重获新生
２月１６日，记者在社会福利中心采访时了解到，从去年初至现在，福利中心又有１７名患有唇腭裂或先天性心脏病的孤残儿童成功完成了手术康复治疗，其中１４人已被国内家庭寄养，３人已被涉外收养。福利中心主任告诉记者，是区慈善会为这１７名幸运的孩子提供了２１．６万元的全额手术费用，让这些弃婴病童重获新生，拥有了美好的明天。
现在刚刚１岁９个月大的男孩龙海，在２００７年５月出生时，因患先天性双侧完全性腭裂、吮吸和呼吸极度困难被父母遗弃。２００８年７月１８日，龙海在市儿童医院接受了双侧完全性腭裂修复术，术后在福利中心医护人员的精心照顾下，现在恢复得很好。现在龙海不仅进食顺畅，呼吸道功能改善，而且学会了说话，成了寄养家庭中人见人爱的可爱宝贝。
３岁女孩沙妙２００６年３月被送到福利中心时奄奄一息，经诊断是先天性心脏病患儿。这种患儿平素易反复罹患肺炎且生长缓慢，这是小儿心脏病中最常见的，主要是胎儿时期心脏血管发育异常而导致畸形，患儿常在出生后数周或数月夭折。但若能得到准确诊断，并及时手术治疗，大多数可改观或治愈。２００８年２月２７日，沙妙在市儿童医院接受了膜周部修补术，术后恢复良好。
记者每次看到有弃婴（童）被送到福利中心时，总是在揪心，总要为那些有着不幸的孩子在担忧。但是，在看到患儿得到社会各界的救助，手术后获得新生，或被国内外家庭收养，或被寄养，又以普通孩子的身份顺利融入社会时，又不禁感叹，大难之人必有大福。社会福利中心保育部的蒋部长为记者提供了由慈善会捐助的１７个孩子实施的２３例手术的详细清单及手术前后的图片资料。记者看到，现在的唇裂修复手术可谓巧夺天工，手术后的孩子几乎看不出痕迹，做过心脏病手术的孩子可以说与正常孩子没有什么分别。
为了让慈善救助资金产生最好的效益，社会福利中心对所有收养的病患儿童进行了筛查，并选派有特别医护经验的工作人员专门负责此项工作。最后确定龙海、沙妙、观益、富贵、松飞、公修等１７名具有手术适应症的孤残儿童参加手术治疗。从２００８年初至今，整整一年，经过医护人员的精心救治和护理，２３例唇裂修复及先天性心脏手术全部获得圆满成功。术后，１７名孩子不同程度地恢复和矫正了外观畸形或功能障碍，为其更好地融入社会做好了必要的准备。现在，这批幸运的孩子中，观益、公修、龙姿已分别被美国和瑞士的涉外家庭收养，其余１４个孩子现在分别寄养在普通人家庭当中，福利中心的工作人员会定期回访探望。

The correspondent reported when visiting SWI that another 17 abandoned children have received surgeries successfully for congenital heart defects and cleft clip/palate from early last year till now and all are doing well. Among them, 14 have been placed to care homes in the country, and 3 have been adopted through international adoption agencies. The director said that 216K RMB for surgical cost funded through the district welfare foundation, which helped these children obtain new lives.
A boy, now 21 months, born in 2007 with both sides of cleft palates in severe breathing difficulty, was abandoned by his parents. He is recovered very well under the good care of doctors and nurses during and after surgery. He is able to eat without any difficulties and his breathing condition has been improved, and he also can talk now. He becomes a lovely baby at his new care home.
A 3 years old girl was dying when she was sent to SWI, and she was diagnosed with heart defects. She was given a heart repair surgery in 2008 and recovered in a good shape.
The correspondent always felt pain and worry for those children whenever seeing them abandoned and sent to SWI. However, nowadays it is glad to see many people in the society are willing to give help to these children either by adopting or foster caring them as a normal child after surgeries. The SWI showed detailed lists and photos for these 17 children with 23 surgeries to the reporter. It is amazing to notice in comparing with photos before and after, that for children with cleft clip/palate, it is hardly to see any defect; for those with heart defects, they look almost like a normal child.
SWI chose these 17 children to be given surgeries among all special needs children they have at SWI after careful evaluation in order to utilize the fund they received. Among the 17, 3 have been adopted by American and Swedish. The remaining 14 have been placed to foster care homes at normal families nearby and workers at SWI will visit them periodically.
