Lucas

Lucas is a handsome boy who is  5.    He is HIV positive, but is said to be cognitively normal.   He can be adopted with Steven or any other child in this same orphanage.  Lucas does have some facial features consistent with fetal alcohol syndrome, but this is not listed in his medical records.  This is just a cautionary disclosure so families are prepared.

From one of our adoptive families who visited with him in April 2012:  a doll! So sweet. Waited his turn for the toys we brought that they were all playing with.   Shared nicely, all smiles, enjoyed chasing after the bubbles we were blowing, really happy kid.

More photos available.  Married couples only.   Large families and older parents welcome.  Travel required.  Please ask about other children who could be adopted with Lucas!
