Dylan

Dylan Boy, born March 2003 dylan
Down syndrome

This handsome little guy has eyes that cross, so an opthamologist visit will be in order when he gets home. He’s looks pretty small for his age! Doesn’t he look like he needs a Mama to scoop him up & snuggle?

Dylan can be adopted with COLLIER!

Update June 2013:
Dylan is an energetic, smart, and goofy little boy. Physically, he looks about 5 or 6 years old, but has the attitude of a teenager. He can be extremely aggressive – he shoved other children out of the way when I was holding them to try and get to me and hits other children. I can’t tell you how many times he headbutted me in the face. But he can also be very loving – one of the other missionaries was crying and he just sat in her lap and hugged her until she stopped. Dylan is also very smart. When he wanted to go outside, I told him he had to have shoes on…I didn’t expect him to go bring his shoes to me! He also has an extensive vocabulary and loves his Montessori classes at the orphanage.

Girl, born 2001

Down syndrome

Update May 2012:
Dawn lived in an orphanage until she was three, when they moved her to an institution.

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!

Kiril

Boy, Born January 20, 2004
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!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.”

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.

Lovely Kanani needs a family to help her reach her full potential.

From a family who met her in May 2012:

Kanani Large families welcome; travel required.Kanani is very sweet girl. She is well cared for in a good orphanage by caring nannies. She gets lots of outside time when it’s warm out but this time is spent lying down in the stroller as she can’t sit on her own. She can hold on to your fingers and seems to just love to have attention although with her eye troubles it is difficult for her to respond. She likes to have her cheek stroked and her hand held. She is quite stiff and in need of physiotherapy and most of all love and attention. We were told that she will be transferred to an institution very soon unless a family is found as children at this orphanage are typically transferred at age 4.

Tessa

Tessa-China 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 2012, she received cleft lip repair surgery; the surgery was successful and her recovery went well. Tessa’s outer appearance improved. (photo from June 2012, post-op)

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.

Gene

Boy, born August 1998

Gene2

Gene is described as eager and easygoing.

From someone who met him: To really ‘get access’ to Gene, you need to try hard. Some days he’s living in his own world and it’s hard to ‘reach’ him. But it’s worth the effort. I met Gene in the summer, and the other children in the group were all trying to get my attention, Gene wouldn’t I tried to give some attention to every child in the group, so also to Gene. It took a while before I could get him out of his own world. I grabbed his hand and just stroke his fingers one at a time. He would look at his fingers, and after doing that for minutes, he would finally look at me. He looked who was stroking his hand.

Still he didn’t allow me to touch him more than just stroking his hand. Next day I was wondering if he would still remember me and if I could touch his hand again. I didn’t need to ask myself that question, because as soon as I walked in, he came up to me, reaching me his hand. I knew I broke through his wall that kept him safe in his own world. It still took me a while to really ‘open him up’. In November I visited his group again, and again it took me a while to ‘reach’ him. But as I was tickling one of the other boys in his group, he came closer. So I grabbed his hand, to pull him on my lap, next to the other boy, and I tickled him. What happened was amazing! He started to laugh! He laughed out loud, the first time I heard him do that. And he couldn’t stop anymore. His laugh was so contagious and so wonderful to hear it. It brought tears to my eyes. He was so open and he wanted me to tickle him more. Next day I could hardly touch him again, which was hard for me, because I wanted to get him out of his own world again. But I found out that I should not lose hope, because it depends on his mood if he will let you touch him. Another day I could tickle him again and he laughed again. This boy just needs more stimulation to stay out of his own world. Because of the lack of stimulation he normally just sits on the ground and rock back and forth. But he is able to walk, to run around and play games. He can have fun and interact with other children. It just takes a little more. This boy is already in the institute for a long time, and this is the price he paid for it.

He desperately needs a family — He needs a family committed to him before his 16th birthday, otherwise he’ll be condemned to institution life forever.

Married couples only, large families welcome.

This handsome young man has waited a long time for a family of his own!

Update June 2013:
Collier is a sweet little guy who just wants to be loved. He looks like he’s about 2 or 3, despite being almost 14 years old. He always keeps trying to find food, and is somewhat of a bottomless pit – I fed him lunch and a candy bar and he was still trying to take food from the other children. He attaches to you very quickly. He would not let go of me when I was in the room and was always trying to go outside on walks. When I picked him up, he would always giggle and smile. Collier would be a most precious son.

Both girls have been diagnosed with FAS, pyramidal insufficiency in legs, mental delay, and crossed eyes

URGENT! NADIA and NANCY HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED!!!

What a lovely little pair of pixies! Nadia and Nancy are twins. Please help us find them a family where they can grow up, together!

From a family who met them in 2012:

We saw them successfully feeding themselves borscht. They were sitting up properly and feeding themselves soup with a spoon. One walks and even runs a little stiff/awkwardly but they are absolute DOLLS! The other crawls and socializes. They have deep auburn hair and dark hazel-ish eyes. They are both tall, lean, and long-limbed. One is a bit more shy than the other. Both are BORED and need music, hugs, kisses, and a mama and daddy! They loved our attention and carried around magazine pages. They are beautiful twin girls!!!Oh my heart!!!! My heart is breaking! Someone will be blessed to be their parents!

From a family who met them in 2013:

Both girls are now walking! We hugged them a couple times. They are very sweet! They giggle and seem to speak in sentences (from what little Russian I understand). They have a teacher working with them to try and allow them to progress enough to be sent to a regular older child orphanage instead of an institution! They say mama and papa and smile and laugh when we come in each day. They feed themselves and I don’t think either one is in diapers.

Brittany

Girl, Born April 2005

SO THANKFUL FOR A NEW PIC OF BRITTANY! She looks wonderful!!!

Brittany is a beautiful girl with striking blue eyes. Brittany has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She is able to walk and speak some, but she is quite delayed. She will so benefit from having a loving family of her own.

From someone who met her: She is very active and loves helping others. She can dress herself, feed herself, and do other tasks with minimal help. She loves reading stories to herself and hearing other people tell stories. The staff wants to make her feel like she’s just like the other children, even though she’s more disabled than the rest of them. She says she has many friends, and loves to dance and sing. She’s also very shy. She keeps asking around for a mama.

Jordan

Boy, born January 2005

Jordan is waving hello!

He has Down syndrome, and he seems very tiny for his age. The other picture we have of him, he is lying down — we have no other information about him, but it is possible he is not yet walking.

This sweet boy would thrive in a family!

Mirabel

Girl, Born August 2009

Miss Mirabel is also a real cutie! What a great smile she has Mirabel is 4 now and facing imminent transfer. We’ve had many successful adoptions from this orphanage and region! Please help us share Mirabel’s need for a forever family! Mirabel will remain bedridden for the rest of us her life if she is not adopted.

From her medical records: congenital malformation of the central nervous system, cerebral hernia, hydrocephaly subcompensated, flail legs

From one of our families who visited with her in August 2013: ” We saw Mirabel this morning. She is in the laying down room. The nannies were carrying them outside. She can’t hold her head up, support herself, sit, or stand. It looks like she has no control over her legs at all…flopped to the side when the nannies carried her. She does, however, have good use of her arms. She kept reaching up to try to touch me. I gave her a set of the rings to play with. She was SO happy to have something to play with. She kept smiling at me. I really think that there is a smart, aware little girl in that broken body.”
