Listed: Apr 2026

Available to Large Families, Available to Single Fathers, Available to Single Mothers

(Information is from January 2026 when Jandron was 10 months old. He was born in late February 2025)

Jandron was born 5 weeks prematurely to a 20-year-old mother into a highly vulnerable situation. At birth, he experienced respiratory distress syndrome, requiring mechanical ventilation. Jandron has ongoing medical diagnoses of moderate bronchopulmonary dysplasia and recurrent post-viral wheezing, making him dependent on supplemental oxygen. He also has epilepsy, mild encephalopathy, and horizontal nystagmus (involuntary eye movement). Jandron has a history of hospitalizations to treat seizures, bronchiolitis, and wheezing. To manage his health, he takes several daily medications.

Even with his medical issues, Jandron shows beautiful developmental progress–not to mention a BEAUTIFUL smile under the sticker we had to place over his picture. He displays fluid and spontaneous movements of his arms and legs. While he has slight hypotonia (low muscle tone) in his trunk, he successfully rolls from his back to his stomach on his right side. He is also beginning to practice fine motor skills, occasionally using a pincer grip to explore the world around him. He is finding his voice, frequently emitting sweet vowel and syllabic sounds. His responses to auditory stimuli are becoming increasingly consistent. He is a curious observer. He pays close attention to his environment, shows great curiosity toward objects, and responds positively to simple stimuli. He makes wonderful eye contact with his caregivers and rewards them with warm smiles. As a 10-month-old infant with medical needs, he requires full assistance for all daily living and basic hygiene activities.

Jandron is a gentle child with a mostly calm and receptive temperament. Because of his young age and medical history, he relies entirely on his caregivers for emotional regulation. He clearly expresses his feelings, including showing displeasure, and communicates his basic needs through facial expressions and crying. He demonstrates a healthy, positive attachment style with his current caregivers. Jandron seeks connection and instantly calms down when given physical contact and comfort. His ability to connect, look into your eyes, and accept soothing touch shows a profound resilience and a readiness to bond with a permanent family.

While he is too young for traditional hobbies, he has clear preferences that highlight his unique personality. He is an attentive little boy who loves to watch the world around him. He shows a distinct interest in exploring objects with his hands and listening to the sounds in his environment. Above all, his favorite place to be is in the arms of someone who cares for him. He loves physical touch, gentle holding, and the reassurance of a loving voice. He needs a family that is highly sensitive to his medical diagnoses, but more importantly, a family that will cherish his smiles, celebrate his milestones, and offer him the safe, warm home he deeply deserves.

Ezekiel

Boy, Age: 3

Country Code: LA-2

Region: Latin America

Primary Diagnosis: Genetic Condition (non-DS), Global developmental delays

Listed: Apr 2026

Available to Large Families, Available to Single Fathers, Available to Single Mothers

Ezekiel was born to a teenage mother whose family faced socioeconomic struggles including overcrowding, poor housing conditions, and a lack of access to basic needs. While his biological mother and grandmother tried to care for him, they lacked the resources and knowledge to meet his specific needs. When Ezekiel was just two months old, health workers noticed he was receiving improper nutrition, such as being fed gelatin from a bottle, and he was taken into care.

Ezekiel primary diagnoses include a genetic condition called Mosaic 1q21.1q22 duplication syndrome, microcephaly, and congenital hypotonia. He also has vision conditions, including optic atrophy and right convergent strabismus (a turned eye). A significant part of Ezekiel’s daily care revolves around his feeding. He has an infantile feeding and swallowing disorder. Because he cannot safely tolerate solid foods, he requires a specialized liquid and purée diet. He needs to eat while sitting at a 90-degree angle, offering thick textures and liquids from a spoon to protect his airway. Despite these challenges, his nutritional status is currently stable. He maintains a healthy weight for his height. He takes a daily iron supplement and actively participates in physical, occupational, and speech therapies. He will need ongoing care from a team of specialists, including genetics, gastroenterology, neuropediatrics, and ophthalmology.

Because of his genetic condition and low muscle tone, Ezekiel experiences significant global developmental delays. Although he is 18 months old chronologically, his developmental milestones currently align with those of a 5- to 6-month-old infant. He requires constant supervision and full support for all daily activities. His motor skills are slowly progressing with the help of his physical therapies, but his hypotonia affects his ability to move independently. His communication is primarily non-verbal, relying on expressions and sounds to connect with his caregivers. With consistent therapy and a structured environment, Ezekiel continues to show steady, beautiful progress at his own pace.

Ezekiel has a remarkably calm, happy, and gentle temperament. In his current foster home, he has formed strong, secure emotional bonds. He finds true refuge, acceptance, and security in the presence of the people who care for him. He manages his emotions well when he feels safe. Ezekiel thrives on physical affection and gentle reassurance. He shows a wonderful sense of confidence and relaxation when his trusted caregivers are nearby. He is an exploratory and willing child who embraces the world around him as long as he feels emotionally supported.

Ezekiel is a delightful little boy who finds joy in the simple things. He loves discovering his own body and spends time happily playing with his hands and feet. He enjoys it when adults and other children play with him, and he loves hearing the familiar voices of his foster family. He is a big fan of animal sounds and enjoys watching colorful shows like Paw Patrol, La Granja de Zenón, and La Vaca Lola. He also loves listening to children’s music. Mornings are a special time for Ezekiel because he absolutely loves taking baths, followed by relaxing gentle massages. He also enjoys going out, looking through car windows, and visiting cool, air-conditioned places like the grocery store.

When it comes to his special diet, Ezekiel has a great appetite! His absolute favorite meals are smooth purées made from beans, spinach, or arracacha mixed with chicken. For a sweet treat, he loves natural fruit compotes made from mango, banana, and apple.

Ezekiel needs a family that can embrace his medical routine while celebrating his beautiful spirit.

Yara’s spark and tenacity should be an inspiration to us all!

Yara came into protective care after her mother determined she did not have the resources or emotional support network to care for her daughter with complex special needs. She is a brave girl who navigates several neurological and physical health conditions. Yara was born following a normal pregnancy and delivery, but despite this fact, her diagnoses include right-sided spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a congenital brain malformation, and focal epilepsy. Because of these conditions, she experiences some developmental delays. She also has visual impairments, including strabismus (both convergent and vertical), astigmatism, and amblyopia. Additionally, Yara has an expressive language disorder.

Despite these complex diagnoses, Yara is in excellent nutritional health. She maintains an adequate weight and height for her age. Her vaccination schedule is completely up to date, with her next boosters due when she turns five. She will require ongoing, comprehensive management by medical specialists to ensure her continued rehabilitation and health.

Yara shows incredible physical determination and a wonderful spirit of resilience. Anyone who hears of her diagnoses will be AMAZED by her gross motor skills. She moves independently from one place to another, runs, and even jumps on one or two feet. She can climb stairs easily, alternating her feet as she goes. Due to her right-sided hemiplegia, she experiences difficulties with fine motor skills in her right hand, particularly with gripping and using a pincer grasp. To help her improve, she currently attends physical and occupational therapy three times a week. Yara has an expressive language disorder, meaning she needs extra patience and support to help her communicate her thoughts and feelings. Her medical history impacts her overall developmental timeline. She benefits greatly from a structured environment and dedicated therapies that help her build daily living skills at her own pace.

Yara is a child who demonstrates quiet strength every day. Through her intensive physical and occupational therapies, she shows a remarkable willingness to try hard and push through challenges. While she navigates a world that can sometimes be physically and communicatively frustrating, she responds beautifully to patience and gentle guidance. She needs parents who can offer a deeply secure attachment style, providing her with the emotional safety required to process her feelings and build her confidence. With a predictable routine and a supportive home, Yara has the foundation she needs to develop healthy coping mechanisms and emotional regulation.

Yara is an active girl who loves to use her body to explore the world. Because she enjoys running, jumping, and moving around independently, she will thrive in a home with safe, open spaces to play.

Jay is currently 8 and shows age-appropriate development. He interacts well with peers and adults and is described as a friendly, affectionate, and polite child. He maintains eye contact, has appropriate vocabulary for his age, and generally presents with a positive mood. His sleep and eating patterns are stable, and he adapts well to changes, though he still struggles at times with managing frustration.

Jay’s psychological assessment shows above-average intelligence. However, he tends to become easily frustrated and distracted, and benefits greatly from positive reinforcement to complete tasks and support his self-esteem. Jay has been diagnosed with ADHD.

Martin is 7, he interacts well with both peers and adults. He is described as friendly, affectionate, and somewhat stubborn, displaying occasional oppositional behavior. He benefits from an assertive and consistent approach from adults and requires positive reinforcement to complete tasks and boost self-esteem. His psychological evaluation shows average cognitive functioning.

Martin has a history of sleep disturbances and oppositional behavior. He currently takes melatonin and risperidone, which have improved his sleep and behavior stability. Medically, Martin underwent adenoidectomy and bilateral myringotomy in November 2023 and continues ENT follow-up due to a ventilation tube in his right ear. He wears glasses for astigmatism and is followed in Ophthalmology. He also attends speech therapy.

Martin is described as emotionally immature, showing attention-seeking behaviors likely linked to early emotional neglect. While initially reserved, he eventually engages warmly and responds well to structured interaction.

Ian is nearly 6 years old. He is a cheerful, affectionate, and communicative child. He attends kindergarten, where he engages positively with adults and peers. Like his brothers, he seeks attention and affection, and shows signs of emotional immaturity—likely the result of early emotional abandonment.

His developmental assessment showed results within the expected range for his age. Ian is described as enthusiastic and motivated, both in structured tasks and in everyday interactions. He responds warmly to attention and maintains appropriate eye contact and spontaneous speech for his age.

Ian was referred to Neurosurgery for dolichocephaly, but surgery was not recommended as the condition does not affect cognitive development. The team attempted to obtain a second opinion, but there has been no follow-up from the consulting doctor. He was also discharged from ENT in March 2024 after an adenoidectomy, and continues to be followed in Ophthalmology for astigmatism, wearing glasses since December 2022. He currently attends speech therapy.

Jay, Martin, and Ian have not had the opportunity to form attachments to parental figures. Instead, their primary psychological and emotional bonds are with each other. As such, joint adoption is strongly recommended to preserve their emotional security and sibling connection.

All three boys have been informed about their adoption plan and have welcomed the idea. They no longer reference their biological family and are beginning to show anxiety and anticipation about the arrival of their new family. During their first meeting with the adoption team, the strong bond among the siblings was evident.

Meet precious Johnny! He is only 1 years old, turning 2 in the spring. Because of his special needs, he was never raised by his biological family and has spent his entire young life in the neonatology unit, in a children’s home, and now in his current group home for children with medical needs. Johnny is a gentle, sweet boy who needs a loving and devoted family.

Johnny can sit independently and he can assume a hands-and-knees position. He grasps toys and responds with positive emotion during interaction. He has good hand-to-mouth coordination. Johnny can turn from back to belly and vice versa. When standing, he has weak support on his legs.

Most of the time, Johnny is calm; there are no signs of increased anxiety, frustration, or aggression. He uses crying to seek attention or to satisfy needs but calms down quickly when comforted through hugging, gentle stroking, or talking. His sleep is calm.

Available to Single Fathers, Available to Single Mothers

Tiana is a social, affectionate toddler who enjoys interacting with adults and responds well to familiar caregivers. While she is not yet using words to communicate, she understands simple directions such as “give” and “walk,” and communicates through gestures, pointing during play, and imitation.

A recent and exciting milestone is that Tiana has begun walking, showing growing independence, stability, and confidence. Motor development—especially locomotion—is one of her strongest areas and has allowed her to explore her environment and increase interaction with caregivers.

Tiana has a global developmental delay. At 19 months, her developmental skills were assessed at approximately a 13-month level. She shows progress across areas, with particular gains in mobility. She has a short attention span and prefers sensory-based play, especially activities involving sound and movement. She can be sensitive to noise and visual stimuli but is gradually becoming more tolerant of touch and motion.

She demonstrates oral sensory-seeking behaviors and has a high-arched palate, which may contribute to mouth breathing. Her eye-hand coordination is improving, and she can track and grasp objects, though her exploration remains limited.

Dane #

Boy, Age: 3

Region: Eastern Europe

Primary Diagnosis: Autism

Listed: Feb 2026

Available to Large Families, Available to Single Fathers, Available to Single Mothers

He has lived in a foster family since 6 months of age and requires constant supervision due to young age and behavioral challenges. He was diagnosed with childhood autism in June 2025.

He demonstrates a global developmental delay affecting physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Physical development shows a mild delay: he sits independently, stands up on his own, and walks with hand support. Fine and gross motor skills are slightly delayed; muscle tone is adequate, and there are no musculoskeletal disorders.

Neurologically and behaviorally, Dane shows limited social engagement: he does not respond to his name, does not maintain eye contact, does not follow commands, and does not initiate interaction. Play is non-functional and stereotypical (e.g., spinning objects). He exhibits stereotyped behaviors and requires adult guidance for constructive play.

Expressive speech is absent, with only incomprehensible vocalizations and occasional syllables. Cognitive functioning, memory, and intellect are below age level, and higher mental activity cannot be reliably assessed due to age and developmental limitations.

Emotionally, he is generally calm, responds to positive and negative stimuli with a delayed reaction, and shows attachment through hugging familiar caregivers. He rarely expresses needs verbally and may become distressed when objects are taken away.

Angelina

Girl, Age: 5

Available to Large Families, Available to Single Mothers

She has been diagnosed with a rare syndrome characterized by tall stature and congenital facial differences. While these differences may be noticeable, they do not define who she is.

Since being placed in a loving foster family, her story has already begun to change. She has shown accelerated growth, improved neuropsychological development, and her physical development is age-appropriate. She is in good general health and does not require ongoing medical treatment at this time, aside from her speech delay, related to her congenital anomalies.

But here’s the part that matters most: she is making real progress. She forms 3-word sentences, asks questions, uses polite expressions, initiates communication, and loves role-play and interaction. With consistent speech therapy, her potential continues to grow.

Meet adorable Axton! Axton has never lived with his biological family and has spent his entire life in hospitals and children’s institutions. His special needs are primarily medical, and his congenital malformations have been successfully treated surgically. Although his neuropsychological and motor development are delayed, Axton is making steady progress.

Axton moves around using a walker and is very active. He sits independently without support. His speech is in the process of development; he pronounces individual sounds and produces a variety of vocalizations.

Axton is cheerful and smiles often. He actively seeks the attention of adults and laughs out loud during playful interactions. He shows good adaptation to new environments and daily routines. Axton is calm and does not display self-aggressive behavior. He independently reaches for toys placed around him, taps them, and explores them with curiosity.

Axton is fed with a spoon by an adult while seated in a high chair. Efforts are being made to teach him to drink liquids from a cup. He falls asleep in a crib, and his sleep is calm.

Andrew

Boy, Age: 7

Primary Diagnosis: Cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy

Listed: Jan 2026

Available to Single Fathers, Available to Single Mothers

Little Andrew is a friendly, cheerful, and perceptive little boy. He is currently 6 years old. He was born prematurely and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy in the form of spastic tetraparesis, predominantly affecting the right side (grade 3+), with associated dysarthria. He uses a wheelchair.

Andrew regularly receives physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. He continues to receive follow-up care in neuropediatrics and orthopedics, including the administration of botulinum toxin due to stiffness in the upper limbs. He has hip dysplasia, currently without pain, and underwent surgery for hip stabilization on September 1, 2025. He also continues to receive care in nutrition, ophthalmology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation.

Andrew has a good relationship with both other children and caregivers. In his interactions, he verbally communicates his needs and interests and is able to express discomfort or displeasure.

Andrew is a communicative and expressive child with a reasonable vocabulary and the ability to construct sentences, including negative and interrogative forms. He repeats and learns new words; however, he needs support to improve articulation and diction. To support this, syllabic division exercises are incorporated during games and storytelling activities. He demonstrates a good understanding of his surroundings and, with individualized adult guidance, is able to focus his attention on tasks and interpret simple content.

In the area of autonomy, although Andrew is dependent on adults for his daily routines, he enjoys being involved and participating in tasks. He helps tidy up toys and materials and eats independently at mealtimes using cutlery. He shows greater ease in using a spoon but is also able to use a knife and fork. He can drink independently from a cup or mug.

It is not expected that Andrew will be able to walk; therefore, he uses an electric wheelchair. He demonstrates good autonomy in operating the joystick with his right hand and maneuvers the chair with ease (e.g., anticipating obstacles, navigating around them, reversing, and turning left or right to avoid collisions with people or objects). He has a clear sense of space. The acquisition of the electric wheelchair has been fundamental in supporting Andrew’s autonomy in locomotion. During the summer, he independently accompanied the group on several outings. Additionally, using the electric wheelchair, he is able to accompany an adult while carrying out small tasks (e.g., going to the supermarket or pharmacy).

Despite difficulties with fine motor skills, Andrew shows persistence and interest in exploring objects, toys, and new materials. He enjoys matching and fitting games, stacking objects, and painting with pencils, markers, or brushes using a gross grasp. With assistance, he participates in collage and tearing activities. In drawing, he currently scribbles and does not yet represent the human figure. He also enjoys handling books and is able to turn pages independently to observe the illustrations.

Andrew transitioned to the public preschool network in the 2025–2026 school year following a request for school postponement. According to information provided by his teacher, Andrew adapted well, integrated into daily routines, and maintained positive interactions with adults and peers. However, the teacher noted that Andrew experiences difficulties handling tools during writing and artistic expression activities and is not yet able to perform a fine pincer grasp. As a result, he shows limited autonomy in completing more structured tasks and may resist finishing them (e.g., giving up or becoming distracted). He will soon be evaluated by the technological resources center for possible allocation of an adapted computer.

Little Leo is only 6 years old. He has a developmental delay, with preserved skills in the area of locomotion/motor abilities. In addition, manifestations compatible with mild to moderate Autism Spectrum Disorder have been identified, as well as signs suggestive of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. He is monitored in developmental consultations and is receiving medication. He is also followed in Ophthalmology (routine consultations) and Otorhinolaryngology.

Leo has a calm and affectionate demeanor, showing stable moods and good spirits most of the time. He easily established a close relationship with the adults in his life, accepting physical contact and seeking affection and security from his caregivers. With his peers, he participates more peacefully in group games, having developed skills in waiting, sharing, and respecting rules, showing greater self-regulation. He is more willing to listen, understand, and follow instructions. There are no reports of regular aggressive behavior or tantrums, and it is possible to observe a growing effort on his part to manage his emotions and frustrations.

Leo is a sweet and curious child who shows interest in various recreational activities, such as riding a bike and scooter, jumping on the trampoline, and playing with cars. He likes to try new foods and textures and is receptive to food. He is becoming increasingly independent in his daily routines, enjoying being involved in them and seeking to help adults.

Leo has a brother, they have a very close and affectionate brotherly relationship. As no adoptive family has been found willing to adopt the brothers together, separate adoptions are being considered.

Medical diagnosis of the child: low vision, bilateral amblyopia, astigmatism, hypermetropia, secondary exotropia, and nystagmus (irregular eye movements) with a rotational component, and behavioral disorder.

Information is from September 2024

Summary: Yessica is a 7-year-old girl who has faced significant instability in her early life. She was abandoned by her biological parents, and then she lived with her grandfather until 2023, when he could not longer care for her needs.

Yessica has specific medical needs, particularly concerning her vision and behavioral health, both of which require consistent management. Yenci has complex visual diagnoses including low vision, bilateral amblyopia, astigmatism, hypermetropia, secondary exotropia, and nystagmus (irregular eye movements) with a rotational component. She underwent surgery for strabismus around April 2024 and currently wears corrective lenses. She has been diagnosed with behavioral disorder. She takes daily medication for her latter diagnosis. Her weight and height are appropriate for her age. She has received dental treatment for cavities and is in good oral health.

Yessica is currently enrolled in the second grade. She has experienced difficulties with academic performance, including low grades and failing subjects, largely due to challenges with concentration and understanding tasks. She struggles particularly with Language but shows aptitude in math, art, and religion. With increased support at home, her interest in studying is improving. Yessica demonstrates clear language use with coherent content and age-appropriate vocabulary. Her thinking is flexible, allowing her to identify risks and consequences. She is also advancing in reading comprehension. She has adequate fine and gross motor function, showing good coordination and manipulation skills.

Yessica is an affectionate child who is learning to navigate her emotions with professional support. She is currently going to psychiatry and psychology therapy to address behavioral difficulties. She needs support managing frustration and developing assertive responses. She can be impulsive (accelerated behavior), has difficulty staying still, and may struggle with following institutional rules, occasionally displaying rebellious or defiant behavior. Yessica is capable of giving and receiving affection. While she can be jealous with significant figures, she is responsive to dialogue and understands situations after discussion. She has developed skills to express her emotions, needs, and desires more clearly. She can lose motivation easily but is capable of regaining it through encouragement and dialogue.

Yessica has distinct preferences that give insight into her personality and what she hopes for in a family. She enjoys playing with dolls and has a fondness for dresses and shoes. Yessica has expressed a preference for adoption by a nuclear family (mom and dad) or a single-parent maternal family. She is indifferent as to whether the family already has other children. Despite her challenges, she shows a willingness to connect and has a preference for feminine figures, though she is open to a nuclear family structure. A balance of clear, consistent rules with warm affection is crucial to help her feel secure and manage her conduct disorder.

Listed: Dec 2025

Available to Large Families, Available to Single Fathers, Available to Single Mothers

Information is from June 2025:

Yoshi was removed from his family at a young age, due to their lack of ability to provide adequate care. Yoshi presents with a complex medical profile requiring ongoing attention and care. His primary diagnoses include: Neurodevelopmental delay: affecting various areas of growth; Macrocephaly: disproportion of the skull/face and minor facial dysmorphisms; Muscular Hypotrophy: specifically noted in the lower extremities, though they are symmetrical; Growth Concerns: short stature and low weight, previously hospitalized for protein-calorie malnutrition; Expressive Language Disorder: significant difficulties in verbal communication; Cardiac Concerns: possible pulmonary valve insufficiency and mild tricuspid insufficiency (syndrome under study). He has a history of hospitalization for respiratory infections (pneumonia) and malnutrition but has stabilized under current care. He has no known allergies. His current medical regimen includes nutritional support. His vaccination schedule is up to date for his age.

Yoshi faces several developmental challenges. He exhibits a significant delay in verbal expression. His vocabulary is limited, and he struggles with pronunciation, articulation, and structuring sentences. He primarily uses gestures and short words to communicate. While he has shown improved mobility, he experiences difficulties with gross motor skills such as running, jumping, and climbing stairs. He exhibits generalized hypotonia and issues with balance and coordination. He has cognitive difficulties understanding complex instructions. He is currently working on sphincter control and still requires diapers. However, he is showing progress in independence, such as using a spoon during meals.

Despite his challenges, Yoshi possesses a warm and engaging personality. He is described as an active, affectionate, and receptive child. He shows a genuine interest in social interaction and engaging with the world around him. Yoshi has an adequate capacity to form bonds with significant adults and is progressively learning to interact with peers. He enjoys group play and is capable of sharing toys. He tends to express his emotions clearly through facial expressions and gestures. He thrives in environments where he feels emotionally secure.

Yoshi is a child with distinct likes and dislikes that help define his daily life: He has a strong preference for symbolic and construction games. He enjoys recreational activities, particularly playing ball, searching for elements, and visiting parks or rivers. He enjoys fruits such as bananas, watermelon, tangerines, and oranges. He dislikes pineapple and chopped papaya (though he accepts papaya in juice form). He benefits from a structured sleep routine, sleeping easily and restfully, which contributes positively to his mood and willingness to participate in daily activities.

Yoshi requires a parenting style that combines deep affection with structure. His ideal home will prioritize his medical and therapeutic needs—including ongoing nutritional support and developmental therapies—while providing an emotionally safe and orderly environment.

Yanna is a 13-year-old girl who has shown resilience and adaptability despite a history of neglect and various types of abuse in her early childhood. With the help of therapy, Yanna now demonstrates emotional stability, responsibility, and motivation to continue improving. When reading her full child profile, it is clear that this young lady has put a lot of thought into her past and into her future, including what she hopes for in an adoptive family. Yanna is a clinically healthy young lady, but will need to continue therapy to help her work through her past and to transition into a family.

Academically, Yanna is an excellent eight-grade student. Her teachers describe her as intelligent, punctual, and committed to her studies, showing solid performance and a genuine interest in learning. She enjoys school and maintains positive relationships with her classmates and teachers. Emotionally, Yanna can be reserved at first but gradually builds trust and close relationships with those around her. She can express affection and empathy, especially toward younger children. She is currently receiving psychological support to continue strengthening her emotional regulation and communication skills.

Yanna enjoys listening to music—particularly reggaeton, bachata, and rap, watching movies and tv series, making bracelets, and spending time with her friends. She dreams of completing her education and one day becoming an actress. She understands that her current stay in the institution is temporary and hopes to find a permanent family that will offer her affection, stability, and protection. Yanna has expressed her wish for a family that values communication, patience, and mutual respect, ideally without other children so she can receive focused attention and guidance. She was previously matched with a family for international adoption, but the family and Yanna were not a good fit for each other. She would prefer a family who is relatively young given her previous experience with a potential family. She does not have a preference for whether she has married parents or a single mother.

In summary, Yanna is a bright, affectionate, and reflective adolescent who would thrive in a loving, consistent family environment capable of supporting her emotional growth and providing a sense of belonging and security.

Darling Brianna sometimes turns herself to a side position. She grabs toys with both hands and handles them. A smile is observed when interacting with an adult. She looks at herself in the mirror. She pronounces vowel sounds. She enjoys individual attention, and she gets upset if she is not paid attention to or if she is left alone in the crib after she has been paid attention to. She tries to initiate contact with her eyes and facial expressions, and she responds to her name.

The position of Brianna’s legs doesn’t allow her to sit and she doesn’t straighten her head, but sometimes she rotates her torso laterally to some extent. She reaches and grabs a toy handed to her by an adult or placed in her immediate environment and handles it briefly. She follows moving objects and people with a glance and a turn of the head.

Brianna is described as “absolutely adorable, easy to communicate with, and curious about new people and new toys.” Her caregiving staff says she is a calm and gentle child and is “everyone’s favorite in the house where she lives!” Please help us find Brianna’s family!
