Kiril

Boy, Born January 20, 2004

This spunky little angel is ready to melt your heart! Kiril has blonde hair and hazel eyes, and a smile that can light up a room! He was born with cerebral palsy. One of our own adoptive families who visited with him in March 2008 said this about Kiril: “ I’m a sucker for blondies and this little guy with his green-brown eyes is adorable! He smiled and wanted to interact with me when I came into the room despite the cries of his neighbor. His smiles were brief but heartwarming and then he was curious about what I was up to. Each time the camera flashed he rewarded it with a great grin! Except it was always right AFTER the flash so I couldn’t capture his sweet smile.”

NEW UPDATE!: What a blessing to still have visibility of Kirill, and know he is still fighting for a chance and waiting for his family to come for him. He is regressing, as he is given little opportunity to stretch or be mobile at all. He needs help for the strength to sit up now, but even still he wears a smile and a light in his eyes. There is a loving, forever family out there for this boy!

From his medical records: infantile cerebral paralysis, double hemiplegia, epilepsy, optic nerve atrophy, multiple cardiopathies, contracture of hip and knee joints

As with all children living in these difficult conditions, this child’s cognitive development has regressed significantly since he/she was younger. It is of crucial importance that any family considering the adoption of an older child from the mental institution setting be well prepared for what to expect with regards to how the neglect and lack of adequate medical care and nourishment has affected this child. These children all have TREMENDOUS potential for improvement, and deserve to have a life outside these four walls.

These children are truly living on borrowed time, and families should be home study approved before an official commitment can be made for this child.

Valery

Girl, Born September 27, 2006

Valery was born with CP and spina bifida. She has significant strabismus and “progressive hydrocephaly”. She is not able to walk, and is significantly delayed in all aspects. But she is still beautiful and deserving and can truly thrive in a loving family, with access to adequate medical care and nutrition. Valery will remain bedridden for life, and will likely not survive the transfer to the institution. Won’t someone consider being her “forever family”?

Lincoln

Boy, born 3/9/07
PRC
Down Syndrome

Since July 2007 he has been with a foster family. Per report written in 2010: At the age of 36-39 months he can walk alone quite steadily, and when he was walking he can stoop down to pick up the toy on ground and then go on walking. At present he can only call “baba”, but he can express his desire in body language, and if he wanted to drink water he will put his hand beside his mouth and look up. When he wanted to defecate or urinate he will make the sound and show actions familiar to his mother. Since he had learned to walk he had been very interested in outdoor activity, and he went to play games with other children in community every evening. He liked pulling his mother to go to the supermarket near to their home, and when they got there he will point at what he liked. He was very close to his father, and when his father came back home he will go out to welcome him.

At the age of 40-42 months he was very active, liked going out to play, even in cold days. He still did not speak much, besides father and mother he can say other words unclearly with the help of adults. He had to be fed, but he can drink water alone with cup with suction tubes. 43 months-present it has been too cold and he stays in house for most of the time. He likes to watch TV, and if there are children dancing in the program he will learn from them. He likes eating meat and is not choosy to food. He naps for 1-2 hours and has deep sleep. Sometimes he sleeps with adults, and sometimes he sleeps alone on his own bed. If he wants to go to toilet he will crouch and pull his trousers to tell adults sometimes. If adults remind him of going to toilet he will do so but they have to help him take off the trousers. He is very strong and seldom falls ill.

Single moms permitted, only one parent has to travel.

From a missionary who visited with him in August 2010: “Sean was found abandoned by the riverside at the age of 4 months. Sean is doing super and is well loved by his nannies!”

Update from 2012:
After his rehabilitation we feel his physical development is very good, he can clearly call father and mother, can sit alone, stand alone, can walk with holding something. He can not walk alone steadily, can feed himself snacks without help, good appetite, likes playing with other children sitting on the floor, occasionally he will challenge his favorite toys with other children. He is very favorable, and we hope him can find a family sooner to have parents to love him to live happier life.

From an adoptive family in summer 2012:
We saw Denis three different times at large group events at this orphanage, and he is a very cute little boy. He is small for his age, and he was in a wheelchair the times I saw him (that may have been just for transport). But he was alert and following what was going on (a puppet show once, and a musical performance another time) with real interest. He looked content and in a good mood every time we saw him.

This region typically waives the 10 day waiting period for children with special needs.

Janie (26)

Girl, Born March 8, 2006

So glad to have an updated picture of Janie! She is blessed to still be at the baby house, but she will remain bedridden for the rest of her life is she is transferred.

Janie is a beautiful little girl who struggles with the effects of FAS. She also has CP and some effects of hydrocephaly. She is not able to walk on her own, and will need the loving and patient care of a family to help her achieve her potential.

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.

Sutter

Sutter Sutter Boy, born 1998
Cerebral palsy
More information coming soon.
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.

Down syndrome

Xander was found abandoned at 6 yrs old, he’s an active child, running and chasing in the rooms all around, he was even running to go upstairs, however he never did that again after teacher’s criticism so that we could see he’s an obedient child. At the age of 6 years and 7 months, Xander did well in all aspects of taking care of himself: he eats food himself, washes the dishes after meal and takes shower, puts on clothes, socks and shoes, goes to washroom and occasionally he helps caretaker to do works within his abilities. At the age of 6 years and 1 month: he is active, restless and unquiet, able to greet familiar people and call “teacher, aunt, uncle, brother, sister”, he’s really naughty and played on class, he didn’t like to be restricted, playing is the nature for boys, however the teacher demanded him to keep classroom discipline and he couldn’t affect other kids, he’s acceptable to teacher’s words. At the age of 6 years 7 months, Xander behaved well on classes and he was praised many times by teacher, however his expression ability was not good enough and couldn’t express himself with whole sentences, so most of the time he needed the gestures, teacher said he had made big improvements, we trust he would express himself fluently and naturally.

Hannah

Girl, Born September 7, 2008

Hannah is a darling girl who needs a family. MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE.

From her medical records: absence of rectum, cranial bones deformity, multiple development pathologies, severe dermatitis, delay of development but she is very smart and active
Hannah is a very friendly girl. She likes to play different toys, with other children of her group. She is very smiling, easy-going girl. She understands everything, but she does not talk yet. She is a smart girl. She is walking independently.

Hannah was born with deformed cranial bones. Hannah is very smart, she is nearly walking, and has striking blue eyes and a smile to warm your heart! She has severe dermatitis, from what they are not sure. She was also born without a rectum, and presumably uses a colostomy bag at this time. She will definitely need to be seen by a gastroenterologist once home.

From an adoptive family who visited with her in June 2010: “ Hannah is a precious little angel that despite her challenges, is unbelievably full of life. She loves her walker, especially moving “lightening fast” down the hallway, to the playroom, whenever she has the chance. She is a little spit fire…who has a mind of her own;) We took her pacifier (which she loves) out of her mouth to snap a few pictures and she made herself perfectly clear that she wanted it back:) She is developing very well and walks by holding on to her caretakers finger. She can hold a ball/toy and is very social little girl. She happily perked and stood up to her feet (while in her walker) when I bent down and spoke to her. When my camera flashed, she threw her little hands up to her face and smiled. She is an absolute favorite of her caretakers and the Orphanage Director. The “blue” on her skin is an anteseptic that is applied as a result of her extreme skin allergy. Given the chance, this little one will grow by leaps and bounds. She sure stole my heart!”

UPDATE 2013:
Hannah is doing well, she is still in the orphanage and will be available for adoption when she turns 5 in September. She is a sweet girl! Unfortunately, pictures cannot reflect it, but she is very charming! We would be happy if a good family could adopt her ASAP!

We got to meet Hannah while touring the special needs floor of the baby house in April 2011. She is obviously adored by the staff, and is well cared for. She was super tiny and a little shy, but that didn’t stop her from approaching our daughter who had traveled with us. Although I didn’t hear her make any sounds, she was very expressive and they quickly and easily responded to her. She appeared to fully understand what they were saying to her as well, and did respond with head nodding and shaking a few times. Not only was she walking on her own, she was strong and steady. Able to get up and down, chase the ball, run off with the ball in her hands. She is currently living in a caring environment with a great therapy floor, able to help her to meet her milestones and goals. She will be transferred between the age of 5 & 6 as all children are from this facility. The reality of where she will go, and the group where she will be fit into should a family not arrive for her BEFORE she is transfer is not good. She will quickly regress there.

Adam

Adam Boy, born 2004 Adam
HIV, hydrocephalus

Adam is a sweet, easy to please little cuddle bug. He is very much like a cuddly, curious little toddler. When I first met him he did not seem interested in me at all, but as time went by he began to want affection, and would grab my hands if I stopped rubbing his head and put them back on his head.

One day I picked him up and from that moment on he wanted to spend most of my time there in my arms. When I arrived he’d jump up from his little wooden chair, and hurry over to me with his arms raised. If I didn’t pick him up fast enough he’d try to climb up into my arms using nearby chairs or beds, and he would not hesitate to grab items from my hands and set them down to free up my hands so I could hold him. He also began to cry whenever I left. He loves wind up toys and toys that vibrate, and would giggle happily and flap his hands to show how excited he was about them. His other favorite toys were a pony he enjoyed chewing on, any sort of car, and some legos that made a train. He is not verbal but was beginning to make noises to communicate. I tried to teach him to sign more one day, by signing hand over hand with him. When I asked him to sign it he took my hands and helped me sign it. He seems to me to have a need for love and affection that can only come from a loving family. I would love to see him thriving and meeting his full potential, as well as bringing joy to as many people as possible!

Emmaline

Emmaline (1) Girl, born June 2002
PRC
Down syndrome

Emmaline is well behaved, lovely and cute. Sometimes when she feels injustice from other children, she would act as a spoiled child in the cuddle of a teacher. As she grows up everyday, we feel happy yet we worry about her, because she is very sensitive and is able to understand what the teachers tell her. Sometimes she could do something out of predict. She has a good friend and they are called “golden partners” just because they are always together whatsoever playing or eating. They share things well and they even do things together such as cleaning floors.

We remember that once she found one shoe on the air conditioning, and she wanted to get it down, however, she was not tall enough and she babbled telling her friend. The friend took a chair, Emmaline stepped on the chair in order to get the shoe, and finally, she made it. She really surprised us at that time. She is really amazing. She could think of using a chair to help to get the shoe to finish her goal.

Unfortunately, she seldom speaks, which is the thing that we worry about her the most. Only give her more stimulate of language skills such as doing some oral gym to help her learn simple words, could she incorporate herself into this society well.

From someone who met him in 2012:

Emil was the gentlest child ever! Unable to talk but the pleading in his eyes killed me! He grabbed my finger and wouldn’t let go…what a grip! He also got really hit a few times by others wanting my attention, he didn’t retaliate but fell in a heap and moved away, only to return when the coast was clear. I would love to see this child in a nurturing environment!

Tatiana

Girl, May 20, 2006

Tatiana was born with FAS, but her medical records do not indicate any additional medical complications. She is also HIV positive.

Tatiana is the younger sister of Trudy and Tristan. All three children can be adopted together or separately; they are currently in the same region, but in different orphanages. We hope to find a family where they can stay together!

She is facing transfer to an older child internat very soon, but she can still be adopted from there. Would rather see her in a family! She has been waiting SO long.

From an adoptive family who met her in summer 2011: Tatiana is a sweetheart, and she wants a mama so badly. When we’d go to get our kids, she kept asking “And Tania? And Tania?” She would sob when we would leave her with the groupa. Out of all the kids there, she was the only that I saw playing pretend – eating pretend food, taking care of baby dolls. She is very emotionally fragile, and she seems to get overwhelmed. She is very small and thin. She has big blue eyes, and she desperately wants to be held and cuddled.

From an adoptive family who met her in November 2012:
Tatiana was described by the orphanage director as very beautiful, and she truly is. She was also very enthusiastic when answering questions. She was asked if she has friends and she replied “Da” with her whole body, “Tania have lots of friends”. It was completley adorable. We had given her a pony that moved around on it’s own, and she kept saying “come to Tania, come to Tania”. The biggest hit was the ball that lights up when you bounce it. She would have chased that ball all day! She has a deep voice for such a little girl which I found endearing. It was so ironic, because she is so little and feminine. She has issues with her eyes. Nothing was mentioned in her medical about it. When she turns her head to look at something her eyes bounce around as they try to catch up. She laughs inappropriately, and is very emotional. Has mood swings. Does not understand many simple questions. Her answers did not match the questions, or was unintelligible. She is in constant motion.

Is able to move up and down the stairs, eats self-dependently, though has self-care difficulties (still working on toileting), likes long walks in fresh air but is able to do them only with holding on one’s hand.

Geneva L12

Girl, Born October 1999

L12

SO grateful to have this opportunity to share these beautiful older children with you! Geneva is darling….almost 13 years old and growing so well. She is much loved, and attends a school for children with special needs in the 5th grade.

Geneva has a little hyperactivity…she gets bored easily with things and goes from activity to activity. She does not use words or gestures to express her desires. She has such potential to learn to communicate, it would open up her own world and improve her level of frustration. Geneva also has alopecia areata (like Reece!)…she may benefit from Vitamin D therapy and/or steroid treatment for that hair loss.

From her caregivers: Very lively girl, moves all the time. Wants individual attention to be focused on her. Does not react on the admonishments of carers. Girl gladly attends lessons but does not understand the need for them. Does not ‘see’ herself in the mirror. Is not able to repeat movements with her lips and tongue. Has good self-service skills and also tries to help others. Gladly draws with pencils, chalks and also paints. Is trying to learn to ride in the three-wheel bike. Likes walking around the city, going to cinema. Behaves well, eats with fork. She is a singleton, does not participate in the group activities.

Older parents and large families welcome. Parents should be home study approved prior to commitment.

Fritz L4

Boy, Born June 2001

L4

Handsome Fritz is already 11 years old. He has blonde hair and hazel eyes. Fritz is blessed to live in a nice orphanage, but he needs a family of his own. He is considered lower functioning, and really needs a family who is experienced with adopting older children.

Fritz may struggle with some sensory or ASD challenges….he is very responsive but needs a lot of self-help and guidance from parents/caregivers. He would probably do best in a family where he can get lots of attention from his parents and older typical siblings….be the focus of the family!

Families should be home study approved (or nearly so) prior to commitment. Wonderful program, outstanding agency partner…older parents, large families, and single moms welcome. More photos and medical info available.

Mr. “V” is 7 years old but looks much younger. As all of these children in this orphanage they NEED families to come adopt them. When the children get older they will be transferred to adult mental institutions (at young ages!) and there will be LITTLE to NO chance of adopting them.

Children in this orphanage need families! They do not receive enough interaction/therapy to help them thrive. They are seen as hopeless but we know that is not true!

Tessa

Girl, born November 2010
PRC
Down syndrome, Cleft lip and palate

Tessa was sent to a foster family for care the same day she was admitted. Due to her severe cleft palate, feeding her was extremely difficult.

A comprehensive physical was done in spring 2012. The diagnosis was severe cleft lip and palate and down syndrome. At the time, the doctors examined her heart beat and found everything to be normal.

In May, she received cleft palate repair surgery; the surgery was successful and her recovery went well. Tessa’s outer appearance improved.

Tessa is a timid and shy little girl who recognizes people. She is closest to and dependant on her nanny. She sleeps with her nanny every night. When she sees the nanny carry another child and not her, she will feel slighted and start to cry. Tessa can understand our words. She will turn her head to look around. If you ask her whether she wants milk, she will respond with a smile. She can say “nana”. When interacting with strangers, she will look at you quietly and will not respond to questions. Only after a period of time of interaction will she start to warm up. She also likes to look pretty and likes to wear pretty clothes. When you praise her and tell her how pretty she looks, she will immediately smile happily.

Aubree is very active, easy-going, and friendly. Currently, she lives in a special school-orphanage.

From one of our adoptive families who visited with her in August 2012: She truly is a ray of sunshine! She comes out to greet us in her wheelchair (she has good upper body strength, her legs are fixed straight out in front of her and are tiny. She doesn’t appear to have AMC in her upper limbs at all. She is extremely friendly and happy, she enjoys singing and dances in her wheelchair. She can also use her upper body strength to scoot around the floor. I am so excited that she is available because I know she will be a wonderful daughter if just given a chance. This girl just exudes love and happiness! The orphanage does provide the children with an education, and even music instruction. We were able to see Aubree perform in a concert that the children gave for their visitors (they have help from humanitarian groups that come in to work on the building and work with the children). If anyone asks about her, I would love to talk with them more about the orphanage and the children there. They have my heart!

FACING IMMINENT TRANSFER!

Ginger and Jamie are 5 years old and waiting for their forever family. They are fraternal twins and can only be adopted together as siblings.

Both children have significant effects from fetal alcohol syndrome. Both of them are very social and friendly. They deserve to be in a family who can care for them!! Both children are cognitively delayed, with vision issues as well.

Ginger (left): brown hair and big blue eyes! severe congenital myopia, organic affection of the central nervous system, nanism of somatic genesis, mental retardation

Jamie (right) brown hair and brown eyes: organic affection of the central nervous system, congenital hypotheriosis, severe myopia, mental retardation.

From a family who met them in 2012:
They were [children] I wanted to remember. We met them both on several occasions during our outside visits. Ginger was all over my hubs, tugging, pulling, hitting, and climbing all over him. To say she wanted attention from him is an understatement. She had lots of energy and always wanted me to pick her up. She always wanted me to hold her hand too! We went on several walks together. She’s a spitfire for sure! Jamie was a lovely little boy. He was always so helpful to the younger kids in their groupa. He loved to push the others on their bikes and was a big help to the nannies. They’re both available and would thrive with lots of love, structure, and attention. I’d be happy to share our experience if any one is interested!

He enjoys playing with stuffed animals, musical toys and mechanical toys. His play is appropriate. He is impulsive and will get upset if he doesn’t get his way. However, he is not aggressive toward himself nor toward other people. He has a short attention span and will often give up easily when an activity is too hard and ask to do something else instead. Kade is described as calm, inquisitive, headstrong, sensitive and communicative.

Update from Feb 2013: Kade is toilet trained, feeds and dresses himself, says some words, follows directions, and is not aggressive. He attends special education classes taught by teachers who come to the institution for instructional time. He is active and enjoys playing outside and staying busy. He enjoys the attention from the staff and will act silly to get them to pay attention to him. We have several current photos and a video of him. In the video, he is playing on playground equipment, following directions, joking around with staff and making funny faces at the camera and you can hear him say a few words too. He is living in a mental institution, but he is well cared for and doing quite well.

URGENT: This is a new orphanage for us to work with. These children are older, and will be transferred at the end of summer and it will be extremely hard to adopt them once they are transferred. If you are considering this child, please do not delay!

Yelena

Girl, Born June 2004

Yelena is HIV+.

What a beautiful, glowing smile Yelena has! Beautiful blonde hair (all hidden under her kerchief). She so badly wants a family of her own.

Recent families have visited with Yelena in country, and there are serious concerns about her behavior. She has been observed with aggressive behaviors, and would do best in a family without younger children at home. We have a missionary who met her, who is willing to chat with potential families.

Isabelle #2-2

Girl, Born February 14, 2002

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

From her medical records: The child is in a very good general condition. Elementary thinking processes are observed. She can’t speak but pronounces sounds and combinations of sounds: ba-ba, etc. that are completely random. She knows her name and reacts when called. She carries out elementary orders. She is not oriented for place and time. Her attention is unstable, her memory is mechanic.

In emotional aspect the child is calm, merry and playful. She enjoys the attention that she is paid and actively seeks it. She easily enters into interaction with the children and the adults in the orphanage. She has friends among the children and prefers to play with them. She reacts actively in musical classes – makes rhythmical movements, but almost doesn’t play with toys and prefers to put them in her mouth or toss them.

The child walks independently and carries out the orders of the physical therapist – crouches, stands up. She already eats by herself. She doesn’t signal about her physiological needs and is taken care of entirely by the personnel of the orphanage.

The child is being taught to put her clothes on and take them off on her own. The training for gaining life skills continues.

Single moms and large families welcome, easy travel!

Dawn #17-1

Girl, born 2001

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

Update May 2012: Dawn has been living in an institution since she was 3 years old.

She just started walking a couple of months ago. She enjoys interacting with adults and playing with toys. Her favorite activities and toys revolve around music. She understands what is said to her but does not have any meaningful speech at this time. She reacts very positively to attention, smiles and cheers when adults interact with her. She attends a class at the institution, but does not go to school outside of the institution. She has not had the opportunity to experience many of the ordinary activities that other children her age are naturally exposed to due to the length of time she’s been institutionalized. She doesn’t have any medical or behavioral concerns. She just needs a family willing to look past her age to see her potential!

Angelia

Girl, Born April 7, 2001

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

Angelia has been living in an institution for 5 years. Yet she is healthy, active, happy and SO ready for a family to love her and show her what her life is supposed to be like. She does have some strabismus, but no heart condition. The orphanage staff tell us she does like to play with toys, is interactive and affectionate, and has “potential to improve”.

Angelia is in a place where we have successfully adopted several children out of, and those families can tell you horror stories about many of the other kids there. Angelia is strong and healthy, despite her surroundings. What a miracle it would be to save her!

Alicia

Girl, Born 2004

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!! ALICIA HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED.

SO THANKFUL FOR A NEW PIC OF ALICIA!! Miss Alicia is a beautiful little girl who needs a loving family. Her other two typically developing sisters were adopted by other families already.

Alicia was born to an HIV+ mother, and is HIV+ herself. She has also has significant delays and challenges associated with her FAS. (fetal alcohol syndrome). We are waiting to learn if she has any medical complications, but she is cognitively delayed and does show signs of attention deficit and hyperactivity. Alicia will do best where she can be the focus of attention and have her Daddy wrapped around her finger

Alicia has SO much potential, and deserves a family as much as her other sisters do. I know there is a family out there for this little girl! She is facing the mental institution soon, but has grown up in a loving and well kept orphanage so far. A committed family now can prevent her transfer!

From an adoptive family who visited with her in July 2010: “ Alicia absolutely LOVES one on one attention. she is front and center if you are handing out kisses and hugs. You can see she wants a Mama all her own, and it will be so hard on her to have her sister leave to be adopted, as her other sister was already adopted. (Their mother is deceased, most likely from AIDS). She likes to swing. She loved to lay her head in my lap while we were both on the bench swing and I would stroke her hair. The other kids didnt like to share my attention but Alicia was ok with it. I could have two in my lap and she didn’t mind, but she didnt like being crowded out when the other child decided they wanted me all to themselves. She likes sensory input. She kept rubbing her arm across my husband’s unshaved face and shivering and making the funniest face and then immediately doing it again. She likes to go down the slide again and again. She really likes to be in the middle of whatever is going on, and be included. But often she is excluded, even by attendants. For Alicia it’s a vicious circle. She is delayed, she gets frustrated, they don’t let her do things the others are doing, she gets more delayed and more frustrated. She is VERY VERY SWEET AND LOVING. She needs a family that has only a couple kids, not ten. She has HIV. If you want a little girl to hug and kiss, she will GLADLY take all the hugs and kisses you can hand out. She isn’t afraid of men but isn’t inappropriate either. I saw her with my husband as well as another couple of young men who visit regularly. Alicia is on the small side, like maybe size 4. The children are valued and loved at this orphanage. The grounds are visually stimulating and the kids get outside for a couple hours in the morning as well as afternoon. They even go swimming in the pool they have there. Hope someone will come for Alicia very soon!” Alicia is toilet-trained and able to say when she needs to use the restroom. She has tremendous potential if someone would take her home and love her!

Jason

Jason (1) Boy, Born April 10, 2003

HELP! I have been transferred to a remote institution, with no hope of finding my family without you!

Jason spends his time either in a crib or in a stroller, sitting outside.

He needs a lot of love and attention … He is a good, sweet child, but he has a lot of self-injuring behaviors. Unfortunately, he is often restrained because he hits himself really hard.

Update Nov 2012: Jason is learning to walk with support!

Families should be HS approved (or close to it) prior to commitment. 10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.

Brett #19-1

Boy, Born August 23, 2001
Diagnosis: Down Syndrome, Severe lagging behind in his development, Alopetio areata

Brett was born premature at home and taken to an open field, where he was abandoned. He was there for 6 hours before being rescued and taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for shock, hypothermia, bug bites all over his body and difficulty breathing. Once released from the hospital, he was placed in an orphanage and later transferred to a mental institution, where he lives today. From a physical standpoint, he suffered several bouts of bronchitis and other sicknesses as a young child. He does have alopecia (hair loss), but does not have any other health problems at this time. Based on one of the video clips, it appears that Brett is able to pop his hip out of socket, as his can turn his leg at an unnatural angle. He can walk and move freely around in his environment.

Brett suffers from many delays as a result of spending over 10 years in an institutionalized setting. He walks, plays with toys, communicates using gestures and interact with adults at will. He is NOT aggressive. The staff cares for all his basic needs and he is not receiving any academic instruction or any noted therapies at this time.

Several photos and videos of Brett from December 2012 are available.
