Kai

Boy, Born October 2007

ABIhktk–Down Syndrome

Kai REALLY needs a family, one who is experienced with his medical needs.

Present Carer: Having lived in a hospital for nearly 3 years, Kai was transferred and has been living in the present Child Care Home since October 13, 2010. He is more delayed socially as a result of so much time in the hospital, but is a darling boy who will thrive in his own family.

Present Development: Kai was found to have Down syndrome, Hirshsprung’s disease, congenital hypothyroidism, congenital heart disease and bilateral hearing deficit at birth. Though his medical condition is stable after he received medical treatment and surgeries, he is prone to illnesses, such as pneumonia, fever, running nose and gastroenteritis. Because of Hirshsprung’s disease, he usually has loose excretion and sometimes diarrhea. He is not interested in eating. At present, he always has milk and puree. When there is someone familiar nearby, he behaves better; takes his bottle or eats with a spoon. However, when he sees no familiar worker around, he does not want to eat, sometimes even cries and needs to be spoon fed.

As described, he is nice but passive and introverted. He tends to be restless when meeting new peoples, new things and in new environment. Usually, he needs to warm up for a while until he feels comfortable to try. During playtime, he loves to play with blocks and flap over children story book alone. He needs companion and encouragement in order to ride on a car, sit on a swing and climb up the stairs of a slide and slide down from the top. He manages to use single words to express his view and responds to questions. He says “play”, “good”, “no” in Cantonese. Sometimes, not only babbling, he tries to imitate some new words when hearing them. He sometimes refuses to play when he feels unhappy. Though his right ear is weak in hearing, he is not required to wear hearing aid.

Josiah

Boy, born May 2007

Josiah has cerebral palsy. He can be very interactive and can comprehend what is being said to him. But he cannot sit, hold his head up, or roll over unassisted. He also has seizures that are being controlled with medication. He loves when people sing songs with him. Josiah is a very happy and loving boy. He is always full of smiles.

From someone who works with him:

We have had the privilege of caring for Josiah for 3 years. He is the oldest child in our care and has been with us longer than any other child. Josiah was abandoned at a nearby hospital when he was 1. Josiah has cerebral palsy and requires special care and attention. He has limited control over his movement and needs support when sitting. For 3 years, our nannies and staff have cared for Josiah, fed him and bathed him. Ask any person who has cared for Josiah though and they will say that they are the one who was blessed.

When you are with Josiah, it is clear that God's love resides in Josiah. Josiah can't talk, but he loves to smile and interact with anyone who will talk to him. Josiah cannot sing like most of us, but each day during nanny prayer and singing Josiah joins in with a big smile. Our deep desire is for Josiah to join his forever family through adoption. We have had difficulty finding that family, but we know that God has a plan for Josiah . We also know that where ever he goes, Josiah will be a blessing as his loved ones bless and care for him.

Holly 25C

18mc5-25C
Girl, born April 2009
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: blond

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

Restless nature. (02/24/11) The girl is calm. Cognitive interest in practically does not show. Self-sits, stands with support lying rotated in all directions, not creeps. Independently takes the toy in both hands, unstable interest. Understanding of simple everyday instructions available. Emotional reaction only after prolonged stimulation. Spontaneously utters certain vowel sounds. Does not self feed.

Update from a family who met her, March 2012:

I walked into the room and immediately recognized Holly from her picture on RR. I was there to visit another child, so after quickly greeting her, I turned away to interact with the other child instead. Holly would have none of that! She doesn’t walk yet, but she scoots quickly, and made her way directly to me and into my lap. She giggled a lot and interacted with me the entire time I held her. She stole my heart with her outgoing personality.

The caregivers told me that she had health issues for the first few years of her life and she is only now becoming healthy. She is very tiny for her age. She is in an orphanage that provides for the children but I feel really needs a family soon so that she can start receiving interventions and therapies so that she may grow into a healthy little girl.

Suzy

C-W
Girl, born 2005

Suzy is an outgoing little girl who enjoys playing games with other children. The other children at her institute like her very much and she is very good at socializing. Suzy was born with ichthyosis, a skin disease that covers her entire body. The orphanage staff treats her ichthyosis with ointment once a day. Her skin itches due to her condition and her caregivers say that it also makes her “afraid” of the sun. In the wintertime, the condition tends to worsen. When we asked how her condition affected her in other ways, the nannies said that in the past her gait has been abnormal, but now it is better although she still can’t run as fast as the other children. She is described as a talkative girl who speaks well and speaks a lot.

She is able to walk with one foot in front of the other, stand on one foot, and she is able to name animals and know what their sounds and behaviors were. The orphanage staff say that they haven’t sent her to school yet because she is too young, but she appears to be on target and able to complete tasks that other 5 year olds can do. She is able to do basic self-care tasks such as toileting, washing her hands, and dressing herself. What she could really use is a family who could give her the love and care that she needs and who would help her get appropriate treatment for her skin condition.

There is a total of $9800 in financial aid (made up of a $4,200 Promise Child grant for eligible families for this adoption and a $5600 waiver for the orphanage fee) — details available through the agency.

Heath

Boy, Born April 8, 2001
Heath is a sweet little boy who desperately needs a family.

Heath is a tenyear old boy with Down Syndrome. He is tiny in stature. His feet hardly reach the edge of his shared wheelchair. Because of his age, he has already been transferred from the stimulating environment of his baby house to a dull and underfunded mental institute for boys ages 6-18. He is no longer the youngest boy in his group, but he is certainly among the smallest.

Heath is not a recent transfer. He has lived in the stifling boredom of institution life for a long time. He has lost the vivacity of life at the baby houses. In his three years at the institute, he has been given nothing of his own. He has not seen a book or a toy. He has never been gathered into anyone's loving arms. He is a very lonely little fellow in desperate need of love and comfort.

We have few other details on Heath. He has been seen in a wheelchair, so he may not be able to walk. We don’t know if or how well he talks, or any other details on his medical condition. We do know that he is a cute, chubby-cheeked, dirty and neglected lonely little lost boy who needs a mother more than almost anyone else in the world.

If you would like to learn more about Heath from a family who met him at his present institute, please follow these links:

Victoria

Girl, Born December 12, 2002

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. 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.

Boy, Born March 13, 2004

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Sasha is a precious little gift from God. He is 6 years old, but is not able to do much of anything right now. He is very much still a baby. He may have CP as well, but is considered severely delayed. He does a lot of rocking…in his crib, in his stroller…to keep himself occupied. He has teeth marks in his tongue from chewing on it from boredom. We do not know if he truly has autism, or he is just so severely impacted by the CP or other birth trauma that the caregivers can’t really do much with him, and he turns to himself to soothe.

Sasha desperately needs a loving family, and experienced, patient family who can celebrate every step of progress as a miracle of God! I can’t wait to see the person he becomes when he has a family to love him and encourage him. He will surely remain bedridden for life if he is sent away, and he is facing that soon.

Please save Sasha!

Also known as Acrocephalosyndyldactyly Type Chotzen or Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome. Chotzen Syndrome is a dominant genetic condition. They have a tower-shaped skull (acrocephaly), fused fingers and/or toes (syndactyly), asymmetric face, widely spaced eyes, droopy eyelid (ptosis), strabismus (crossed or "wall-eyes"), beak-like nose, small upper jaw, and jutting out lower jaw (prognathism). Some plates in their skull close early. This is called craniosynostosis. Often people with Chotzen Syndrome are mildly hard of hearing. Sometimes they're unusually short. Occasionally the closing of the plates in their skull can compress their brain and slow their development. Sometimes boys with Chotzen Syndrome have undescended testicles.

Character: happy

From his medical records: Apert syndrome. Congenital hydrocephalus, currently compensated. (The child’s doctor means the child is no longer hydrocephalic.) Accrete fingers and toes. Partially cleft palate. (The doctor says he will not be able to speak unless he has been operated for this issue.)

The boy understands what is said to him. He walks. The doctor believes the child has a favorable prognosis. MORE PICTURES and Complete Medical History AVAILABLE.

Update Nov 2011: He needs surgery very soon or he will miss the window of opportunity to correct the fusion of his skull bones before it damages his brain. The webbed fingers and toes seem to have all of the bones present by the pictures, but we would need an x-ray to be sure.

This darling little boy is waiting for his forever family. He struggles with significant cleft issues and facial deformities. He also struggles with kidney problems. From his medical records, they indicate that he has Edwards Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18. This is quite a challenge, and most children do not survive past birth. We do not know if he has any of the other complications, but he clearly has many of the facial features and cognitive delays.

Maybe there is a super special family out there who will give Shaun a chance to really shine, and be all God intends for him to be!

Girl, born November, 2008

Kacey has Apert Syndrome

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!

Orion

MORE PHOTOS available. Orion has Down syndrome and a patent foramen ovale – which is a small hole between the chambers of the heart. This is common in childhood, and often closes without any medical intervention. But it is clear that Orion needs a loving family to get him up out of this chair and living his life!

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.

Orion is in the same orphanage with Chandler, Robert, and Nadine, among others, and could be adopted with them if a family was interested in doing so.

We have had many successful adoptions from this orphanage, and families are willing to share their experiences.

Austin 3G

Austin (16ka1-3)
Boy, Born June 2006

This darling little boy is waiting for his forever family. He has very unique facial features, but I am unfamiliar with the condition that causes these. One of the possible diagnoses we have been made aware of *may* be a form of Russell Silver Syndrome (RSS). This most recent photo shows he is growing well, and seems to be active and relatively happy. After what we learned about RSS, it seems much more likely than the previously supposed progeria, which is good for Austin! Please consider adopting Austin and helping him be the best that he can be! There will never be a place for him in his country outside the walls of an institution, just like our children with Down syndrome.

This little one has been waiting SO long. This gorgeous little blondie has a significant heart defect and needs to see a cardiologist. She is doing ok for now, but definitely needs a family quickly! She also appears to have strabismus. She has the most beautiful eyes!

Update Fall 2011- She is not mobile, does not speak, but she takes food from the grated bottle (bottle with top of nipple cut off, so thicker liquids go thru), and can understand some things. Despite her conditions she can still smile, but doesn’t know how to play with toys and throws them.

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?

Ruslan

Boy, Born November 12, 2002

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

ALREADY TRANSFERRED, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Ruslan is a handsome young man who is in desperate need of a family right away. He has strabismus, and is also a CARRIER of Hepatitis B. (www.webmd.com) He is asymptomatic at this time. We are trying to get more details on his Hep B….he is living in the general population of children, so they don’t appear to be very concerned about him transmitting it to other children. (Typically, children with blood-born viruses such as Hep B and HIV are isolated in special orphanages and never available to be adopted, so we are thinking that maybe he tested positive at birth and hasn’t been retested, or he isn’t showing any outwards symptoms).

From a nurse in the infectious disease unit in a pediatric hospital: *** Hepatitis B is something that children in the USA are routinely vaccinated for. If parents have not received the vaccinations, they can easily go to their physician and receive the series. With these vaccinations transmission is extremely minimal as vaccinated parties can have immunity to Hepatitis B. Titers (simple blood test) can also be drawn after taking the vaccines to make sure immunity has been acquired. Hepatitis B is also treatable with medications and people can also just be carriers of the virus. This health condition is labeled chronic, but with proper medical treatment and simple precautions it is very treatable and the risk of transmission is minimal at most. ***

Ruslan has already been transferred out to the institution due to his age, but he can still be adopted!! Families considering Ruslan should be home study complete/approved prior to commitment, as his needs will be great. Please open you heart to little Ruslan….he needs you!

Girl, Born October 8, 2006

Robyn is a curious, playful little girl with dark hair and giant brown eyes, who also happens to have Down syndrome. She is very active, although she was born with a VSD. She does have an umbilical hernia (many children with Down syndrome do, just weak stomach muscles).

Robyn is already 4 and has likely been transferred to the institution already. PLEASE HELP HER FIND A FAMILY. More photos available.

From one of our adoptive families who visited with her in July 2011: Robyn would probably do best in a smaller family, with 4 or less kids, as she likes attention. She’d be great as the youngest in a family of teens

She is very curious and she was just so small and very adorable, cuter in person. I didn’t have a chance to take a new photo but she looked good and her hair was just a bit longer than in her current photo. She seemed very aware of her surroundings and clearly knew there were new people there today. Most likely pretty high functioning. She is really sweet and is probably of Armenian or other Roma descent.”

Jeanne B. 3G

13ei1-3
Date of Birth: July 2006
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.

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

SINGLE MOMS WELCOME!

From a missionary who visited with him recently: SWEETY SWEETY SWEETY! Look at photos, what an amazing progress he made! For now little Artem is weak and less developed than kids at his age. But Artem has hidden ability to speak: he can repeat parts of words for long time and always includes into his speach some new sounds! This is a special kid that needs additional care and attention. He needs to become strong and gather all things that he has been taught by caregivers, but soon he will learn everything which is needed for his age and he will blossom.

Maxim

Boy, Born September 15, 2004

Diagnosis: Down syndrome

Maxim is a precious little boy who has already been sent away to the institution. He needs a family immediately!! He is 6 years old, with blonde hair and blue yes. He struggles with strabismus in both eyes and a significant tongue thrust, but surgery/glasses and OT will help with that! Please give Maxim the chance to grow up in a loving family, so he can realize his full potential!! We have already had a family adopt from this institution, so Maxim still has an opportunity to be saved and to live the life he so richly deserves!

From one of our adoptive families who visited with him in October 2010: I don’t know if I can openly share how the whole encounter went so I will just say that we were able to go and while we were there I was able to see Maxim. To hold him and love on him. To laugh as he passed gas and laughed about it. That was one of the best parts of the visit, how he thought “tooting” (is it called that when boys do it?) was just the funniest thing – just like any other 6 year old little boy would. He was so sweet and so alert and attentive to those who had come to visit with him. Here’s a little rundown of his abilities that I witnessed first hand:

He can pull up to stand and walk with assistance.
He knows his name and responds to it.
He has a sweet nature, personality, and sense of humor
He copies hand motions (I believe he could learn to sign)
He can crawl
He likes cars! They said he crawls through the window to look out when the car comes to their building.

In the one pic above where you see his hands, he kept touching his thumbs together and so I put his pointers togehter to make a heart and after that he kept trying to do it himself. His worker was a really sweet lady who obviously believes that people with DS are capable. She hopes to see change in her country someday. That really touched my heart to know that he is being cared for by someone who believes that he can be something if given a chance. AND HE CAN!

Maxim’s Mom and Dad? Where are you? I’ve seen him. I’ve held him and kissed his sweet face. He is waiting patiently for you to come for him. I KNOW, I just KNOW, that he will be the biggest blessing to his family. Please hear the call – for Maxim.

UPDATE OCT 2011:

Maxim is one of the sweetest little boys I’ve ever met. He pats my arm in the most adorable, gentle way, and it absolutely melts my heart! He is now walking with very minimal assistance, and crawls faster than any other child I’ve ever met. He is a smart boy, and will follow directions (for example, come over to the carpet). He has an amazing attention span, and will bounce a ball back and forth with me for at least 20 minutes straight. He has the most wonderful laugh, and is a very joyful little guy! He has so much potential, someone please choose Maxim!!
