URGENT: Shaina is aging out — she needs to be adopted by JUNE 2013!
Shaina has Down syndrome, and her physical and intelligent development is behind the children of the same age. Though she can’t use words for expressive, she can use body language; when happy she will smile to you. She is fairly kind and sincere; if leaving her closest people she will cry.
Girl, born March 1998
Microcephaly, cerebral palsy, deep mental handicap
Salome needs the care and attention of a family, to provide the medical interventions and therapy she so greatly needs.
From someone who met her:
Her thinness is heart stopping! She was twisted and sucking on a bottle, such a lost and forgotten soul! Obviously in such desperate need!
Families should be HS approved (or close to it) prior to commitment. 10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born Aug 1997
Cerebral palsy, microcephaly, mental delays
What a smiler and an utter sweetheart!
He grinned and laughed and his disposition did not match up to his circumstances or surroundings. In my short time with him he was an utter ray of sunshine.
Families should be HS approved (or close to it) prior to commitment. 10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.

Sutter is easygoing, organized
Sutter is a really smart boy. He likes to make puzzles and he can solve them really fast. His favorite game was copying a picture and rebuild it with little colored pins on a board with holes. If you try to fool him, he will say ‘no’ and start to laugh contagious. I’m sure that he would be able to participate in some kind of education.
He had several operations as a child, which improved his locomotion, but after his growth spurt he lost some of his mobility again. He tries to walk with crutches and he gets PT for it. With the right medical care I’m pretty sure he would be able to walk.
Some days he is really kind for the other children in his group and then he acts really helpful. Other moments he tries to get all the attention. He would do very well in a family, where he gets the attention he deserves.
Sutter becomes 15 this year. He needs a family committed to him before his 16th birthday, otherwise he will never be able to join a family, his chanced are gone then and then he is condemned to institution life for the rest of his life.
Additional photos and video available. Married couples only, travel required.

Ebby’s mental, motor and language and emotional ability are delayed more than other kids. She likes to play games, and obey the rules, and can get along well with others.
In regard to motion, she can walk alone, and her gait is abnormal. When walking and running her right toe will firstly touch the floor, and can not do the action of both feet are straight and be together, when she is nervous or tense, she can not speak naturally.
Ebby did have a disrupted adoption in her country in 2012. Ebby needs a family who understands that she is very delayed in many aspects of her life, including behavior. She would likely do best in a family where she is the youngest or only child. Additional information is available for serious inquiries.

Boy, born December 1997
Rough mental delay, cerebral palsy spastic tetraparesis, partial atrophy of optic nerves
Barton is a quiet boy. He loves to be outside, staring at the sky, following the birds with his eyes. He loves to feel the wind around his and when there’s a leaf on the ground and the wind blows it away, he goes running after it. Barton doesn’t make eye contact but he does listen when you speak to him. He doesn’t talk, but he when you ask him to do something he will immediately do it, come to you and stand in front of you for a moment. When you say ‘well done’ he’ll continue what he was doing before. Barton sometimes seems to live in his own world. He’s not making a lot of social contact with the other children from the group, until somebody turns on the music. He loves music and he will start dancing with the other children of the group.
Barton is fifteen already, so he needs a family fast. He needs a family committed to him before his 16th birthday. This boy can become so much more if he would be supported by a loving family!
Large families welcome, multiple children may be adopted together from the same orphanage. Married couples only; travel required.
Boy, born Oct 1997
Spinal muscular atrophy, mixed specific developmental disorders (mental delays, very poor speech)
Simon needs a family IMMEDIATELY — he has until October 2013 to be adopted, otherwise he will lose his chance for a family.
From someone who met him in 2012: Simon was so bright, he is amazing! he has great potential and has expressed his desire for a family. He loves gadgets and computers is a typical boy like that! He managed to get into my camera bag (even though it was high on a cupboard) and took my mobile phone apart! He was truly mortified when he couldn’t get it back together and was so sorry…he came straight to me very shamefaced and repentant.
He cannot walk at all; he does not feel his legs and they are very wasted, but he gets around brilliantly in his wheel chair. He talks and is picking up English and draws and writes. He is in the first happy home there with 8 others and so is getting amazing care for his situation.
Boy, born 1998 (most likely in February)
Mild to moderate mental delays
Nick has a sister who has already been adopted to the US.
Nick has some delays, and speaks slowly, and was attending school at one point. His delays may be greater after life in an institutional setting. He would likely thrive in a family!
He is running out of time to be adopted — a family MUST file paperwork for his adoption prior to his 16th birthday.

Down syndrome
From a missionary who visited with him in August 2010: “ Daniel is very active and friendly. He is affectionate and likes to play with and greet others. He proudly shows his work to you and enjoys cleaning and keeping a tidy room. Daniel has a great sensitivity to the immobile/special needs children, and often will bring them toys and water, etc to help them. Daniel is a loving boy who will do wonderfully in a family of his own”. RR does not typically advocate for children over the age of 10, but Daniel is a wonderful boy and deserves the opportunity to find a forever family.
More photos available, along with full social history and medical records. Single moms permitted, only one parent has to travel.
