Micah
Morgan
There is a $3000 grant available toward the cost of Morgan’s adoption through his current agency.
Moses
He likes to sit in his walker and to walk by holding onto the chair. He is afraid of plush toys and dolls. He does not like deep colored things and he will not touch them. He does not like to eat chocolate cake, but he does like chewy snacks like crackers and he also likes to eat apples. Moses likes to ride the rocking horse the best. When he is tired of rocking, he will look at you and if you rock the horse for him, he will laugh happily. He has a strong imitating ability. All he needs now is for his family to see him and bring him home!
*** Additional $5,000 grant available from a specific agency. ***”
Nashville
Agency staff met Nashville in November 2017 and said he is very ticklish! He responded to voices, turned to locate sounds and could follow a moving object with his eyes. He could search for dropped items, build a tower with blocks and play games like patty cake. He could laugh, imitate words and vocalize sounds like “mama.” Nashville was able to hold a crayon and scribble on paper, throw a ball, run and jump. He lives with a foster family and had 2 foster siblings in his home. Caretakers said he eats well and is very playful. They hope he will find a family to love him.

Curtis
Curtis has typical delays for a child with down syndrome. He could distinguish the difference between strangers and those close to him at the age of 6 months. At 9 months he was rolling over and could clap his hands and use his hands to get his favorite toys. Shortly after he was crawling and able to recognize his name and respond when called. He has been beginning to learn some simple words and trying to pronounce them. Curtis is gentle and cute. He likes to snuggle and receive hugs from his caretakers. He likes when others play with him and when he is happy he will shake hands with other children and kick his feet happily. Curtis gets along well with the other children and is good about sharing his toys. Could you be the lucky family that gets to snuggle with this little teddy bear? Please help us find a family for Curtis now so he can get home while he is still so young!

Paulie
Paulie’s agency has a $1500 grant for his adoption!
Peeta
His speech is so so, since he cannot speak yet, but he has a tendency to speak and utters relatively clear single tones, such as yi, yeh, ah. His self-care ability is so so. He eats with a small spoon and drinks water with a cup. He needs assistance in the shower, going to the toilet, and putting on clothes. In class, he is active and highly motivated, but his attention is not focused and sometimes he is out of control and runs out of his seat without approval and does not listen to the teacher’s instructions. He prefers music, dance, and games, but is not enthusiastic in physical education class, since he is easy to tire and weak in playing sports. He does well in self-training class- basically follows the teacher’s instructions to complete the training. His teachers and classmates all like him a lot, due to his active and outgoing personality and his big smile that he wears all the time. He never fights with others.
Nolan
Nolan has a $4,000 grant through his current agency.
Petey
There is a $5,000 agency grant for Petey’s adoption with his current agency.

Caden
Caden can babble and make little ‘ah ah’ sounds, but he is not saying words yet. He can sit on his own and stand with support, and he can grasp small objects. He is participating in early education classes for infants and toddlers at his orphanage to work on strengthening some of these skills!
Could you be Caden’s forever family?
Bruno Martin
Romeo
From his current agency: There is a $4000 grant available to families who qualify to assist with the cost of this adoption. In addition, the application fee and pre-approval deposit have been waived for this child.
Ronen
Ronen has made great progress with his motor abilities, too. He can walk alone steadily and run, and he is learning to feed himself (though he still needs a little help with that!) In terms of his language ability, Ronen’s nannies believe he has a strong desire to speak. He cannot say any words yet, but he will imitate the shape of the nanny’s mouth when she speaks. He can understand most of what is said to him and can follow instructions. Ronen gets a cold from time to time, but his general health is very good. He has not been found to have a heart condition. Could you be Ronen’s forever family?
Several additional photos & videos available!
Ronen has a $1500 grant available from the agency who currently holds his file.

Sam
Samuel
Samuel is outgoing and active and he likes to make new friends. He is well behaved. He has the typical delays of a child with Down syndrome, but is otherwise healthy. He’s similar to other typical kids in gross motor skills: He can walk, run, jump, and climb up/down stairs. He can draw/scribble on paper, pick up thing things with his fingers, and put on/take off shoes, etc. He is close to his caretakers. He knows to care for others. When he is frightened, he goes to his caretakers for hugs. His speech is just starting to develop. Samuel enjoys playing with others — he likes playing ball, and musical toys.
Samuel’s current adoption agency has a $1000 grant for his adoption.
Shaw Finn
Shaw has a $1,500 agency grant for his adoption with the agency who currently holds his file. Other grants may be available based on the adoptive family’s circumstances. Agency grants are awarded as agency fee reductions.

Skip
Ben
AN UPDATE FROM NOVEMBER 2016 SAYS: Ben has literally transformed before our very eyes in terms of improvement and progress. He came to us at 19 months and could not sit up, and was extremely low tone in all of his muscles. Now he sits up, plays on his own. Gives us good eye contact. Eats table food from a spoon, and sitting in a high chair. He has come a long way in his 4 months here. Video available from the agency.
Ben has a private grant of $5000 with his current agency!
