Chelsea 30C

pafa-30C
Date of Birth: October 5, 2007

Gender: Female
Eyes: Blue
Hair: dark brown
Character: cheerful, kind    This sweet little girl is almost 3 years old.  She was born to a very young, single mom at 34 weeks gestation.  She had some minor pulmonary issues in her first days of life as a result of her preemie birth, but she is very healthy now!   She was born with an open oval window which may have closed on it's own.  
 

Chelsea is affectionate, friendly, inquisitive child.   She loves to hug and kiss.   She smiles and laughs a lot.  She is a pet in the group.   She loves to play with dolls, puzzles. She is petite and gracious. She is active for a child with Down syndrome and can be strong-willed, get angry and weep if anything is not her way. But she can be easily distracted from a disappointing her thing. She cannot dress by herself and does not want to eat by herself. Her appetite is not very good. She is rather selective and does not like sweets. She is used to a potty, but cannot ask about it.

 

She started to sit up at 1.5 years of age, then started to crawl. She started to walk at 2 years of age.   Now she runs fast, walks up and down the stairs, slides. She exhibits some muscle hypotony. She is delayed in her speech development. She speaks with syllables, but understands what is said to her and is obedient. To the question “where?’ she shows correctly her eyes, ears, arms.

 

Chelsea will be transferred in the coming year to a very remote part of the country, and will be *out of reach* for adoption.  Hope someone will consider this beautiful child and give her hope for a future!
 

$1342.50 is available towards the cost of my adoption!
