YAY, a new photo of Natalia!! Natalia is a GORGEOUS little girl with brown hair and giant blue eyes. She is 6 years old. She is a very smart little girl, but her medical records show cognitive delay and some epileptic issues. Her seizures are infrequent, and she does take medication to control it. Her cognitive delay is likely a result of the seizures though. She also has some strabismus (crossed/lazy eye), but this can be corrected in the US. Natalia does show many facial features of FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), although this is not listed in her medical records.
Natalia is able to speak, and when our missionary asked her if she would tell us something , she was trying to rehearse a little poem! Natalia is not able to walk on her own. She is carried everywhere. The staff there tell us that she once broke her leg/hip, and it was not set/casted properly, so it is deformed now. Not sure this is the entire extent of her needs, but regardless, she is a very nice little girl, happy and friendly and beautiful. She will truly thrive in a family environment.
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.

Taylor is a beautiful girl who has only been transferred here recently. She has mild CP and has great potential in a family environment. She will benefit so much from physical therapy, and of course the love and encouragement of her own family.
More medical info coming. Let's try to get Taylor OUT before she regresses to a crisis situation.
Married couples only, larger families and older parents welcome, travel required. Because she is already institutionalized, a completed home study is required prior to commitment.
Girl, Born October 2004
Oh, Noel! ;(( Noel was born with hydrocephaly and severe CP. She has had surgery and has a shunt for her hydrocephalus, but she is still just "existing" for right now. She is blessed to still be at the baby house….the director can't bear to send her on.
There is no way to know her potential until she is out of an orphanage and in her own family setting. She will likely require 24 hour care. But she deserves a family of her own!
Because of her severe special needs, any family considering a commitment for Noel should be home study approved and have experience caring for a child with these significant needs.
MED INFO COMING, CHECK BACK SOON
Donations will be accepted for this child when further information is received.
DOB: 2005
Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy
Gabriella has already been transferred to an institution.
Gabriella is 6 years old. She has delays in all aspects of her development. She plays with toys and enjoys interacting with other children and the staff members. She is very friendly. She likes to receive affection and responds well to 1:1 attention. She is participating in a special education program. She actively participates in the program and enjoys the role playing games. She enjoys the music activities. She follows all basic directions. She eats independently and requires minimal assistance with dressing.
Additional photos are available.

Erin is a very friendly, pretty 9 year old girl who is hoping for a forever family. More photos available, married couples only.
From a family who met her in Feb 2012:
Oh, Erin is my sweetheart! Seriously. She’s just adorable. Right now, she’s gone to another region, getting her leg braces adjusted after a growth spurt. She is very mobile. When we first met her, she was sitting in the floor putting her shoes on. She speaks some English and is in the highest level of classes they offer, which includes a foreign language option, so I know she must be very smart. This picture does NOT do her justice.
She is nine, nearly 10, and is like a thin 8 year old. She has personality like you would not believe, and is very polite and friendly. She was so helpful to us the first few days when we were new. Everyone really seemed to like her as well. Honestly if it weren’t for the fact that she had a Russian accent, Erin looks like any other American preteen. She would fit right into a family and school and church! Her diagnoses on paper seem pretty serious but in real life, they did not. Her CP did not appear severe; it primarily affected her ankles and feet from what we saw and it didn’t impair her mobility hardly at all. Her eyes had a mild pulling in of what appeared to be the left eye. I have no idea why they listed developmental disorders, because as I mentioned, she’s in the highest level of classes and is considered to be very smart.

I can't wait to see Victoria with long, flowing hair!
Miss Victoria was born arthrogryposis, which only appears to affect her legs/feet. She has a glowing personality and is a caregiver favorite. Will be wonderful to see her, after surgery and therapy, walking on her own!! If she is not adopted, she will spend the rest of her life bedridden.
From her medical records: congenital arthrogryposis, divergent squint.
From our facilitator: Victoria is happy and affectionate. She loves to play with her dolls and to pretend to be mommy. She is a very pretty girl. She is a rather smart girl, the care-givers love her. She cannot support herself and needs assistance. She does not walk but she is a very active girl. She is moving herself somehow, using mostly her hands.
As with all children living in these difficult conditions, this child's cognitive development has regressed significantly since he/she was younger.

Irina is a beautiful girl with dark hair and big dark eyes. She has a cleft palate. She is cognitively delayed, likely as a result of FAS. She is a precious and happy little girl, and will do great in a family. She can be *assertive* at times, but responds very well to individual attention and will really thrive as the "baby". She is facing the institution soon, and she needs a family quickly!
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.
Irina has been transferred to the older child internat now.

An article from December 2006 states "Now urgent problem with one of our patients Iryna who is nearly 3 years old. She is HIV-positive but she does not need special treatment; the virus can sleep in her body for many years (slow progressor). It was disturbing her underlying disease – cerebral palsy and she needs a qualified neurological treatment which we cannot provide in our hospital. The children with this pathology go to the orphanage for children with central nervous system damage and mental disturbances (the mental institute). We are working in this direction but it's hard to say how long the girl will be in our center. Frankly, we are scared to send the child to people suffering from phobias about HIV. It is excusable for an uneducated man, but should never be in health care workers. A year ago, she held her head badly, could not sit there and just not realized was smiling, but now she crawls, stands, leans on the barrier and is beginning to talk. The children at this hospital are loved, they are neatly dressed and well trimmed" (photo taken between August '06-December '06.)
Please be flexible if inquiring about the little girl Iryna mentioned in the article as we are somewhat sure this is her picture, yet there is a chance we may get a different photograph of her. We understand this is a leap of faith and are asking for an open and flexible family.
The hospital Iryna was in at the time the article was written seems to be a decent place, but we believe she has been transferred to the mental institute. It is our hope to find a special family very soon who can help with her HIV, CP and also with any emtional help she may need. Please help to find a family for this little girl. This is her only chance.

Miss Patti is a beautiful 7 1/2 year old girl with CP. She also has strong facial features of fetal alcohol syndrome. (FAS). She is described as a sweet girl, affectionate, friendly, and would like a family of her own.
More photos available, married couples only.
From an adoptive family who visited with her in January 2012: We met "Patti" today. She's absolutely adorable! She's friendly and appears quite intelligent. She's also very mobile. She has a wheelchair but it looks more like it's just for convenience. She sat on a regular chair for lunch and when she was done, stood up and walked a couple of steps and got into her wheelchair, neatly backed herself out and rolled down the hallway to her groupa room. I believe she has only CP from what I can tell, and it appears to be very mild. I watched her feed herself- there's no evidence of any impairment except in her legs and even that is mild. The orphanage does therapy- we had an opportunity to met with the therapist today and discuss/compare methods and will be continuing to communicate after our adoption is complete as well (we exchanged emails with several staff at their request).
Patti does have many of the facial features of FAS, but, I do not see the neurotypical indicators as much. She is very well behaved, courteous to the other children and staff, and follow instructions well. She seems very calm and serene. She seems to have a quiet, obedient spirit with a little spark of charm that is just waiting for a mom and dad to bring it to a full flame. I smiled at her today and said "hi" and she smiled so sweetly and ducked her head like she was embarrassed to have so much attention. This sweetheart would be a wonderful daughter- I hope her family finds her soon 
INTERESTED FAMILIES MUST BE HOME STUDY APPROVED prior to a commitment for Patti. Married couples only, larger families and older parents ok, travel required.

Chrystyna is a beautiful, brown haired, brown eyed girl who deserves a chance at a better life! Her official orphanage papers say she has developmental delays/difficulties from birth, but nothing more specific than that. It is possible she has FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome). Her biological mother was deprived her parental rights in December 2004, and the biological father is not known. Chrystyna has so much potential, and will be a precious gift to any family who adopts her.
Chrystyna is already living in an institution, so we need a family for her right away!
Chrystyna does have a sister, Karen. Karen does not have any diagnosed special needs. If you are interested in adopting both girls, you can do so, or Chrystyna is free to be adopted separately. Please inquire!
UPDATE: God has been watching Chrystyna. She was recently transferred out of the institution into a wonderful facility, where they teach these children, work with them, and they appear very well cared for. The difference in the few girls who were transferred OUT of the institution is incredible! Please give these girls a second chance for a loving family!
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.

Lauren is a super-sweet and active little girl. She is very social and affectionate, and will do well in a family setting.
From her medical records: achondroplasia
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.

Look at this little princess! She is already 6 and facing the institution very soon!!!
Lorie was born with a spinal hernia and CP, leaving her with weak muscles and limbs. The hernia was surgically removed, and she is walking with help now! She does have some strabismus, but is such a gentle and happy child! She is blessed to still be at the baby house, but will be transferred soon.
From an adoptive family who visited with her in June 2011: "She was walking using a walker, I walked up and talked to her and she held my hand and smiled at us. Dariya then walked up and she and Lorie held hands for a bit. When we walked away we said paka and she smiled and waved. Bless her, she needs a family. We learned that this baby house is up to 6 for spec needs so she probably will be here until next year since she just turned 6. Her feet turned in, she would definitely benefit from having braces and PT. The caregiver told us she didn't speak but, she understood us and was sweet."
PLEASE consider saving her, and giving her the chance to maximize her potential in a loving family!
