Boy, Born October 11, 2003

Patrick is a sweet and able boy who is diagnosed with CP.  He does
have significant facial features of FAS, although this is not
documented in his medical records.  Patrick is able to walk and play
on his own, and is very high functioning.  He is the best friend of
MICHAELA.  Although they can not be adopted together, they both
strongly desire a family of their own and are high encough functioning
cognitively to recognize and fear the next transfer.

From our coordinator:  Patrick is the very best friend of Michaela.
They spend all the time together: playing together, helping each
other. He is a smart, inquisitive, very friendly and kind boy. His
dream is to have a family and loving parents.  He knows he is facing a
transfer to an institution for disabled children of older age, where
he will not have a chance to develop his potential. The orphanage
staff advocates for these two children with all their hearts.

From a family who met him in July 2011:   He has strabismus and
cerebral palsy. But, as you know, cerebral palsy is a spectrum
disorder. He can walk, talk, and play just fine. When he walked, there
was a slight halting to each step, but it did not slow him down one
bit!! When he came up to us, he looked in my bag and saw "Chutes and
Ladders." He kept pulling at it, and then he opened the game board and
let out a squeal of delight. Then he went in my bag to find the
pieces. I could tell he really wanted to play the board game, but we
were in the hallway and there was no room, so I pulled out the box of
playdoh. He managed to pull out one of the containers and open it
himself (which is difficult for an adult to do!) I showed him how to
work the playdoh, and he was so happy. He was able to play and shape
playdoh just fine. He was so creative with the playdoh. I helped him
make a duck from the stencil and then he pretended it was swimming
through the air. He was telling a whole story about this pink duck in
his language. I gave (our daughter) the camera, and they kept taking
pictures of each other. He kept making funny faces for most of the
pictures. When he was done playing with one thing, he carefully put it
back where it came from. When it was time to go, he just said
"bye-bye" and left. No fits or anything. Such a happy boy. He might
not be the most active child, but I am confident he would be a great
child for any family.

Boy, Born December 2002
Marcus is a sweet little boy!  He is 8 years old and hoping for his
own forever family.  He was born with spina bifida.  He is not able to
walk on his own.

From his medical records:  myelocele; Q 5, hydrocephaly;  flail legs
with damage of functions of pelvic organs.

From our facilitation team:  " I personally saw this boy and talked to
him. He is a very smart boy. Unfortunately he cannot walk at all, and
he uses a wheelchair. I am not sure whether he is toilet trained or
wears diapers, because he is a big boy who was uncomfortable with
careful attention to him, particularly to his disability.   He told me
that he wants to be adopted., and that's why he allowed to make a
picture of him.  He did not want to demonstrate his disability, so he
covered his legs with a blanket.

Several kids had been adopted from this orphanage before, and the
Director is rather open to foreign adoption. She keeps in touch with
all the families who adopted the children from her orphanage. She
showed me only the kids who demonstrated their wish to be taken to the
family. And when I made pictures all of them confirmed their desire to
be adopted. I believe the Director will be very glad if this child is
taken to the good family."

The boy is very smart, communicative, and friendly. He wants be adopted.
