I was also very scared about the medical information on Colin. He looked so perfect in the video, really chubby. But he seemed very underweight on paper (18.5 lbs at 17 months). When we asked the doctor about his low weight, he explained it with the lack of muscle tone. He said that he has only fat because he hardly moved in the orphanage. And fat does not weigh much. It made perfect sense to us. He weighed 24 lbs. at the last check-up (19 months). Suddenly, he is up there in the charts.
By the way, the orphanage gave also completely wrong measurements for his head circumference. I really learned not to trust the medical information provided. If you have a video, look at it carefully! I think it gives much more information.
