Girl, born November, 2008

Such a blessing to have a new photo, isn’t she gorgeous?

From an adoptive family who met her in August 2011:  She is very active despite her limitations with feet and hands- she kept up with the whole bunch. Very determined, a bit shy.

From an adoptive family who  met her in November 2011: Every day she’d walk up to me and say, “Mama?”  It broke my heart to tell her no.  She’s due for another surgery soon (presumably on her skull).  Her hands and feet look really good; she showed me all her scars.

More pictures available.  Single mons welcome.  This is a great region to adopt from, with little in country travel.  We have had many successful adoptions here, with a fabulous agency partner!

Tina

Girl

FAS

If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition.  Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively.   This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much.   There is no way to know this ahead of time.

Regrettably, this orphanage is one of the poorer ones, with very little outside aid and very little hope.    All of the children are tiny and undernourished.  These children are immediately transferred at 4.  All of our waiting children need families, but these have a critical need.  Please consider one of these children soon!!

Gender: Female
Eyes: Gray
Hair: blond
Character: calm, affectionate

 

Miss Jeanne has a birth defect of her eyes.  We do not know anything more than that at this time, only that her vision is impaired.   Families interested in considering Jeanne may be able to obtain more information with a completed home study.
 

An additional comment was sent to us:  From looking at the picture of this little girl it appears that at least her one eyelid has a cleft to it and if that is the way it appears, she has what is called a coloboma of her eye.  I know this because my daughter was born with the same thing and has since had it repaired.  Her sight was also affected and she now has to wear eyeglasses … if you have any other questions feel free to email me.

Sophia A. 9HA

 1a1ak-9

Sophia A.

Date of Birth: October 2009
Gender: Female
Eyes: Blue
Hair: brown

Look how beautiful she has grown!!  Significant cleft lip and palate, most likely FAS or prenatal drug use as well.

UPDATE SEP 2011:  Sophia has what they are calling “an affection of the brain.”  She is almost completely blind and deaf.  One foot is deformed.  She only has one hand.  Our coordinator was told the child has many other “severe impairments” and does not have a promising prognosis (by Russian standards, we all know that to be quite different if she had adequate medical care and a loving familiy!).  Most likely hydrocephaly as well.

Families considering Sophia should be experienced with significant medical needs.  Many people have inquired about Smile Train helping Sophia, but she would be much better served to have reconstructive surgery here in the US with her new family.   Is that you?

Brown eyes
Black hair
The nature of communicative

Marena has a crossed eye (surgery is required) and Cerebral Palsy (surgically corrected and not really noticeable).

She is FACING TRANSFER SOON!

Look how beautiful she is!  Marena is simply adorable, very energetic, curious, likes to communicate. She walks, runs, jumps and loves active play.

She has siblings but it has been confirmed that she is available for international adoption alone.

 

From a family who met her in May 2012:

I was asked by the orphanage administration if there is any possibility to find a family for Marena, as she is scheduled to be transferred very very soon. It will be such a tragedy for a child (she has been living there since her birth)!  I hope that maybe we can find a paper-ready family and she would be saved soon.

Macayla (L)

Girl, born January, 2007
Has siblings (one adopted, one not currently available for adoption)
Mixed developmental delays; Suspicions of autism

October 2010: She is currently developmentally delayed in all aspects, although suspected she has not been evaluated for autism. She is healthy, but her physical development is delayed

Macayla had a really hard time adjusting to orphanage life, when she was brought to this home in 2009.  She was crying, she was only communicating with the social worker who was working the day she was brought in. She wasn’t eating, was not communicating with other children, did not talk, she was only screaming bye-bye in her native language. She has adjusted well since then.

Kamdyn #1-6

Born: September 2009

Diagnosis: Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, right ovary and uterus were surgically removed, frequent UTIs monitored by kidney specialist, no established mental delays/conditions

Kamdyn is developing at a typical rate for her age in most developmental aspects. She plays with toys appropriate, interacts with children and adults appropriately and actively participates in a group of typically developing children her age. She has a 1:1 caregiver that she is attached to. She is hesitant of strangers and is aware when people that do not “belong” are around. Likewise, she knows “her” caregiver and will fuss if the caregiver doesn’t immediately come and get her/give her attention.
Several additional photos of Kamdyn are available. More details on her development and medical condition are coming soon.

Lanie (L)

Girl, born August, 2006
Developmental delays; moderate level of hearing loss
Monitored by cardiologist:  auricular septal defect, but no restrictions.  History of tuberculosis of lymphatic nodes in her babyhood.
Laura is very quiet, deliberate, she likes to play individual games. She builds towers from the toy-blocks, puts the pyramid from the rings, likes to play with Legos, flips through books, tears to pieces sheets of paper, she takes items from one box and puts into another.  The functional playing dominates in her games.  She is interested in various toys and activities. She explores the surroundings, likes to smell the objects. The focus of attention is not sufficient, she gets quickly distracted.

Fron 2011 Report:  She is eager to communicate with adults. She does not differenciate between familiar people and strangers. Her language is incomprehensible. She likes to look over and notices the details of the clothes and jewellery. She watches her surroundings and actions of the other people. She says some meaningful words: “bye”, “mummy”, “what’s here”, “I want to poop”. She tries to repeat the words and movements: clapping “katu-katu”, “viru-viru kose” (it is the game played counting the fingers). She understands some of the words, which describe the movements. She can show the clothes, which she wears, and some parts of the body also. She tries to take off and put on her shoes and socks, to button the buttons. She performs simple tasks. She feeds herself and drinks from the cup independently. She draws the lines on the paper and is very interested in these lines. She has started playing story-games: she carries and cradles her dolls, makes the porridge and tea on the sand, offers to drink it and etc.

Natalee

Girl, born October 2007

Diagnosis: Cerebral palsy, general delay of psychological and speech development, seizures.  Natalee also has vision issues, having both a Convergent squint (right-sided) and Partial atrophy of eye nerves.

This darling girl needs a family, or she’s destined to spend the rest of her life closed off from the world in a laying room.

How sweet to see her all dolled up for her picture — someone must care very much for her!

 

Natalee was previously listed as Diana!

From a missionary who has visited with her:  ”Diana is indeed a beautiful little girl with stunning blue eyes, despite her visual impairment. I would say however that she defintely has CP or some form of muscular disease. She is unable to stand, sit, roll over by herself or even hold her head up … She is almost completely unresponsive however over time she seemed to grow more peaceful as I held in my arms and sang to her. Diana’s needs are severe, nevertheless, she is a princess who deserves the love of a forever family and who knows the potential she may have in a loving environment. If she is not adopted soon she will without a doubt spend the rest of her life bedridden and alone. ”

Elizabeth

DOB 12/5/2009

 

This little one was born at about 32 weeks at 3.4lbs and is currently in a positive institutional environment after previously being in foster care. Her last update notes that she is doing well developmentally based on her adjusted age, and that she loves playing with other children and with toys. She was under incubator treatment for about 2 months after birth, and during hospitalization, she developed a mass on her cheek due to a congenital infection, for which she may need plastic surgery in the future. This little girl also has been noted to have gingival hyperplasia, partial syndactyly and polydactyly of her right foot, flexion of thumbs, a sacral dimple, and a small Atrial Septal Defect. A genetic consult noted potentials of progeria and telangiectasia. She is now living at a care center where she is able to receive regular on site therapy and has made great improvements. She is now able to walk and run. She is also improving in her speech development and is reportedly able to follow simple instructions and speak a few words. She is described as a bright and charming child who has good developed good relationships with both her caregivers and other children.

 

This special little girl is in need of a family who has access to the medical resources that she needs and is comfortable with a potential genetic syndrome. State of residence may be flexible, please contact Erin for more details.
