The character is calm
From an adoptive family who visited with her in 2011: When I held Elaina she melted into my arms and cuddled up close. She appeared to be about six months old but the director said she was approximately 10 months old at the time. Although she is small, she has the most adorable chubby cheeks and is surprisingly well-fed compared to the other children we saw at this orphanage. The director explained Elaina is a favorite among the workers because she is so sweet and affectionate. We were told she is "very healthy" with "no heart issues." While I held her she made eye contact and held it. Her eyes were very dark and expressive and she smiled up at me the entire time. She is still so young and would absolutely thrive if adopted soon. The orphanage is in a very poor region and is run down. The children with special needs do not receive any therapy and are treated differently from the other children. However, the director is kind and loves the children and especially wants to find families for the children with special needs because she said "they have no future here." She also told us Elaina has been in the orphanage since birth and was "rejected at the hospital" by her birth parents.

My, what big eyes you have, Claudia!
Sweetheart was just getting over the chicken pox when her picture was taken (in the pink pjs), so that's the reason for the green marks on her face (medicine on her pox marks).
Claudia has a calm and happy personality, and is generally healthy; no heart issues.

What a little muffin! Love that little pouf of hair. Precious Ruth has Down syndrome, but is also listed with a possible chromosome deletion. She has a congenital hip deformity (perhaps dysplasia?), and a heart condition (pulmonary valve stenosis). She's also listed as having malnutrition.
All these conditions can't help but contribute to her teeny size; she would greatly benefit from a family as soon as possible.
Married couples only. Older parents and large families welcome. Travel required.

Calm and active. Not sitting, it is not necessary, turns in all directions. Shifts the toy from hand to hand. Interested in other children. Babbles.
A family adopted from the same orphanage in Dec 2011. They did not meet Isabel, but said it was a very nice place: "The kids were VERY well cared for, all the ones that we saw looked healthy. This is an excellent facility and the kids seem happy and well-adjusted."
We are waiting on medical information for little Isabel before she can receive donations.

Aisha is a doll baby! We do not have any further medical info about her at this time, but please inquire with our agency partner.
Aisha's region requires married couple only, small families ( no more than 3 children at home), VERY comfortable financially, and preferred experience with Down syndrome. This is a particularly costly region, so total adoption costs could exceed $33,000. Aisha's adoption and others from this region will open the door for dozens and dozens of other children with Down syndrome just in this one region alone!

From a family who met Annalisa in August 2011: She is just starting to walk, playful, chubby! She is really a cutie. Just starting to walk. Kept touching my hair when my back was turned and then I would face her and she would pretend she didn't do it.

Nadine has Down syndrome and congenital heart disease, for which she has already had surgery! Truly, this is one lucky little girl! Even if she wasn't happy they woke her up for pictures
These children are blessed to be in an excellent orphanage, however this region typically requires 3 trips. This is a great orphanage and the children receive excellent care, and there is minimal travel in-country. This orphanage is close to the Capital city, so it's fantastic for sight-seeing. We have had many successful adoptions from this orphanage, and families are willing to share their experiences.

This little love is said to have a very mild delay — they don't even consider her as "special needs" at her orphanage, but yet she'll never find a family in her country due to her Down syndrome diagnosis.
She has some physical delays, but her neuro-psychological development is said to be at age level.
She has anemia, and "obstructive effects" in her lungs.
A RR family adopted from this orphanage recently and would be happy to share their experiences.
