This child has displayed a significant amount of perseverance in her short life as she has faced multiple medical challenges. She was placed in orphan care 10 days after her birth and once there underwent many hospitalizations for various medical issues. She was diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth, as well as, congenital heart malformation ????? which was surgically repaired in 2007. In addition, the child began having convulsions in 2008 resulting in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Other than this, she is a thriving and happy child with expected developmental delays associated with Down syndrome.

This beautiful child will require special care and attention throughout the course of her life but would be a delightful blessing to any family. Families should be open to using outside resources as necessary to meet the child's needs. A family that has had experience parenting a Down syndrome child in the past would be an ideal match.

This 7 year old boy is a very affectionate child who enjoys getting hugs. He attended Kindergarten during the 2007/2008 academic year and is currently in the 1st grade. He gets along well with other children in the orphanage and loves to play. He has a good sense of direction and has on a few occasions returned from school on his own. He is a good eater and enjoys everything. He can write the first letter of his name, as well as the numbers from 1 to 3. He can find similarities in shapes, such as showing that coins look like circles. As a young child, he had hyperactive tendencies that have decreased over the years. Others describe him as extremely gifted in art.

Considering his life circumstance in an orphanage, this boy's gross motor skills are well developed. His movements are well coordinated and on track for his age. He does have some mental and developmental delays; however, he is doing well and able to follow and effectively carry out commands. He understands the functions of various objects, locks and unlocks doors, never confuses his right and left shoe, waters flowers and is gentle with his toys. He likes to play by himself but also initiates games with other children. He has a harder time initiating contact if he feels others are not paying attention. He has a wonderfully creative imagination. If you ask him if you can have something that belongs to him, he will give it you willingly. He is expressive and displays emotions in an appropriate manner.

With a loving and supportive family, this boy has incredible potential. He needs a family willing to patiently address his areas of growth and be open to using outside resources to support his development if necessary. A family that has parented children past his age would be an ideal match. We ask that no current children in the home be within 10 months of his age.

To adopt this child, applicants must be 23-55 years old and currently on no medication for mental illness. Please see country criteria for complete requirements.

Please pray for this little boy as he waits for a loving family.

This joyful little 7 year old girl is overwhelmingly adored by everyone she comes into contact with. She radiates beauty and always has a ready smile. Others describe her as delightful, inquisitive, gentle, social and warm. She is a wonderful communicator and sensitive to those around her. The child has good adaptive abilities and is highly functioning in her social intelligence. She is actively involved in community life and enjoys interacting. She displays basic education skills but will need rehabilitation and stimulation to meet her full potential.

The child was born with a slightly impaired overall condition and has been raised in an orphanage since birth. Following three hospitalizations after birth she was diagnosed with infantile cerebral paralysis; she has had numerous surgeries to aid with the effects of this diagnosis. In addition, it was found that she suffered from an umbilical hernia and strabismus of the eye. She has difficulty walking but is able to move about independently and climb stairs using a rail. Her neuropsychic development is delayed; however, the orphanage expresses a very high potential in her development.

She is a delightful little girl who loves to smile and simply needs a family who can provide her long-term support and care. She has overcome much in her short life and is thriving; however, we believe in the context of a home and loving family she could reach her fullest potential. Please consider opening your heart and home to this beautiful child. Video of this child is available upon request.

This delightful sibling group is one of great livelihood and adventure; both children displaying great joy and activeness.

The 7 year old girl is described as emotionally harmonious, cheerful and calm. She has a relatively strong confidence and stands out as a leader among her peers. She at times can become emotionally unstable in stressful situations. She communicates freely with adults and children and readily participates in group activities. One of her greatest strengths is her artistic aptitude. She finds deep satisfaction in helping others and is often looking for opportunities to serve others.

The child is reported to be physically healthy, although she has a tendency to get sick often. Her development in most areas is on track and normal for her age. It appears she is behind in her speech development and has a poor vocabulary. She is currently seeing a speech therapist and has improved greatly under this treatment. The child attends kindergarten but has missed quite frequently due to illness. She continues to learn and is working on her alphabet and numbers.

Her brother is 8 years old and enjoys an active lifestyle. He shows signs of slight mental delay primarily due to institutionalization. It is also reported that he suffers from epilepsy. For treatment of this condition, he participates in regular monitoring by a neurologist and takes daily medication to control his seizures. He can be a bit of a trouble maker and is described as aggressive at times with other children. With this knowledge we feel he would thrive best in a family with no other children his age.

The children's mother is known. She is a single woman of 40 years who has been living with a man for 19 years. They have 12 children born to them, 9 of whom are being raised in the home. The mother abandoned the children because she was not in a position to raise them or provide the required care and social environment for their proper development.

It was reported that the children are very sociable and have a strong desire to succeed. In a warm family environment both children could develop to their full potential. Please pray for these children as they wait for their forever family. Video of this child is available upon request.

This delightful set of 4 year old twins, a boy and girl, were placed in an orphanage at the age of 3 months old. They are described as affectionate and joyful children. Both have beautiful brown eyes and olive colored skin.

The little boy appears to be intellectually above average for his age. He shows solid verbal activity and communicativeness both individually and in group settings. He is able to build emotionally stable relationships with both adults and peers. When interacting with his caregivers he is positive and kind. In addition, he demonstrates goodwill and compassion when other children are crying and will try to gently comfort them. This child is greatly gifted in music; he will clap his hands in rhythm and sway to the beat of songs. Exposure to music has a strong impact on his emotions and thoughts in a positive way. He loves to sing and dance. The child's special need is physically related; he was diagnosed with congenital hypoplasy (underdevelopment) of the left leg for which he was given orthopedic shoes. It was also found that he suffered from congenital anomalies of the blood circulatory system relating to the condition of his leg. The child has been participating in physical therapy since his diagnosis. He does not place weight on his left foot but uses it for support only, meaning he cannot walk unassisted at this time. He crawls to get himself around, which he does with great speed and success.

The adorable little girl is physically healthy but shows some mild developmental delays. She requires stimulation of her cognitive needs and development of her motor skills. Her intellectual productivity appears to be below normal for her age. She does not speak at this time yet has a growing interest in adult speech; she will listen to speech, smile and try to use monosyllabic words. It is believed she may need ongoing care as she continues to grow and develop. The child is very affectionate and loves hugging! Her favorite activities are going on walks, listening to soothing and rhythmic music, and imitating the children around her. She will relate selectively to certain members of the staff and enjoys cuddling with those she is comfortable with.

It was reported that the children will develop well in a family environment. They are in need of a family who will support them long term and be committed to caring for their needs as they grow and thrive. Please pray for these children as they wait for their forever family. Video of these children is available upon request.

According to the country requirements, the country requires that applicants be 23-55 years old and currently on no medication for mental illness.

This child was born prematurely with anemic syndrome. He was underweight at birth and diagnosed with syphilis upon discharge from the hospital. He was cared for by his parents for a month before being removed from the home and placed in a home for medical and social childcare where he was diagnosed with atrophy. Since that time the child has been relatively healthy with a few hospital visits for viral Hepatitis A and pneumonia. In 2004 the child was showing delays in respect to his height which they concluded was probably due to his premature birth; however, it wasn't until 2008 that he was actually diagnosed with a condition called Silver-Russel syndrome, otherwise known as, Dwarfism. The child's height is lesser than other children his age by approximately 160 cm. It would be possible after adoption for his family to begin him on growth hormone treatment. His mental development and overall physical health are excellent.

This beautiful child has minor needs and requires no special care aside from some possible growth hormone treatments if desired. A family that has had experience parenting past this child's age would be an ideal match. We ask that no current children in the home be within 10 months of his age.
