Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome... |
Asia General Information
The orphan crisis for children with Down syndrome and other special needs crosses every political and continental border, extending through the countries of Asia. Although many reside in foster homes, they are still discarded and need a forever family of their own.
China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines all do an outstanding job of documenting each child's social history, as well as providing thorough medical history and updates for potential adoptive families. The process to adopt in these countries is very straightforward and predictable. We have outstanding agency partners serving these children. Length of travel and other requirements have been markedly relaxed over the last year, and even allow for single moms and larger families to adopt.
Despite all of these positive features, our Asian children are often the last to be chosen. Please help us raise awareness and find adoptive families for them!

Girl, born June 2002
Down syndrome
Emmaline is well behaved, lovely and cute. Sometimes when she feels injustice from other children, she would act as a spoiled child in the cuddle of a teacher. As she grows up everyday, we feel happy yet we worry about her, because she is very sensitive and is able to understand what the teachers tell her. Sometimes she could do something out of predict. She has a good friend and they are called "golden partners" just because they are always together whatsoever playing or eating. They share things well and they even do things together such as cleaning floors.
We remember that once she found one shoe on the air conditioning, and she wanted to get it down, however, she was not tall enough and she babbled telling her friend. The friend took a chair, Emmaline stepped on the chair in order to get the shoe, and finally, she made it. She really surprised us at that time. She is really amazing. She could think of using a chair to help to get the shoe to finish her goal.
Unfortunately, she seldom speaks, which is the thing that we worry about her the most. Only give her more stimulate of language skills such as doing some oral gym to help her learn simple words, could she incorporate herself into this society well.

deaf, post-op Congenital heart disease (VSD)
From someone who met her and spent quality time with her: Devin is just full of personality. She likes to play with blocks and loved the fruit snacks we brought. She has a sweet tooth. Devin is compassionate to the children in her room. When she sees someone who is crying, she will go over and pat them. She tries to comfort them. She is attached to her caregivers and likes to be with her favorite caregiver. Devin enjoys being held and hugged. She seemed to understand what we were asking her to do. She followed our gestural communication. She was able to sit on the floor and play then get up and walk and run too! Devin also scribbled on the paper as we encouraged her to do.
Devin's file states that she has a good appetite and that her favorite foods are cookies and candy. She has a pair of watery eyes and she is a lovely girl. She is shy and a little bit timid. She is nervous with strangers, but will open up slowly. She likes playing with blocks and watching tv. Though she can't hear it, she seems to understand what is going on. Devin was sent to live with a foster family on Sept. 15th, 2011, but due to her hearing loss, they brought her back to live in the orphanage on April 18th, 2012. When Devin came back into the care of the orphanage, she started receiving cognitive rehabilitation training twice a week, one hour each time. She is still receiving this training.
Devin's mental development is the same as other orphanage kids the same age. She will make the sound of "ah" when she is crying or screaming. She does not make sound generally. She is under language therapy for deaf children (two lessons a week, one hour each time), but she has not made much progress. In daily life, we found that she is very moody and often gets cranky. On 11/12/2014, she was taken to a Mental Health Center for an exam and the doctor prescribed Olanzapine- 1/4 pill twice a day(morning and afternoon). Her orphanage said she is stubborn and that because she cannot hear, it is hard for her to communicate with other people . Once she meets someone new, she is not so happy and she will get mad and cry. If people she knows take her to play, she will be very happy and smile. Devin walks well and can run. She can walk upstairs by holding the rail. When she walks downstairs, she needs to hold the hand of an adult and the rail with her other hand. She can put on and take off her clothes, shoes, and socks.
What Devin really needs is a loving family of her own who signs and who can teach her sign language so she has a way to communicate with other people. The language training she is receiving won't help her much because she can't hear. Anyone would be frustrated, crabby, and stubborn in an environment like that with no way to communicate with others. And the medication- that is not necessary and could potentially be causing other problems. Her stubbornness should be viewed in a positive light because it shows she has not given up- she is a fighter. This girl will grow and change by leaps and bounds once in a family and once learning a language of her own…Devin needs out!

Whatever you keep in it, you'll need to be sure your garage door keeps things safe and secure. However, security is not the only consideration when choosing a garage door, as add style can also add value to your home.

5 Excellent, brilliant, wonderfulakerberg | 20/04/2013 | See all akerberg's reviews (1)I must say first that I am already a Les Mis-fan. So it could be that I am colored. But I must say this movie is truly fantastic. We all know the story but see Les Mis on stage and see it like this is another experience.That the actors sing live is giving the movie a real boost and other feeling than any other musical movie I have seen.This is a must buy movie. Prepare yourself to laugh and cry...I do not live until today!
5 Amazing film. a must buyvajean | 10/02/2013 | See all vajean's reviews (16)This film is truly amazing. i would give it 10 stars if i could. Hugh jack man gives the performance of his life no one could have played the role any better. as its sung live by the hole cast you can really feel the passion and emotion they feel. alone Russell crow is not as bad as a lot of people say. i found him to be very good. the only real week ness was helena carter who seems to play the same character she allways plays and wiht a no excestanct singing voice. JUST BUY THIS AND YOU WILL WATCH AND LOVE IT OVER AND OVER
1 Les miserablesmick2007 | 26/05/2013 | See all mick2007's reviews (3)Looking so much to watching this a real big fan of this musical. The film was terrible, dark needed more light on most of the sets, Russell Crowe appalling singing, totally ruined the entire film, shocking
5 Do You Here The People Sing?!2xtreme | 15/05/2013 | See all 2xtreme's reviews (15)This isn't usually my type of film, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away. But I was. I found myself smiling, laughing and dare I say it, even slightly teary during this remarkable film. It honestly couldn't be any better. The story, the music, the casting, the costumes... all perfect.Hugh Jackman and Samantha Barks were the standouts for me, closely followed by Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen! But overall the whole cast were incredible (yes, even Russel Crowe, who's not vocally great, but it's hard to imagine anyone else playing that role).The Blu-Ray picture and sound are fantastic, so make the purchase, sit back, turn your speakers up to full volume and enjoy this incredible masterpiece. You wont be disappointed.
5 Not so much Les Mis as Les Happy!bowsie1 | 28/05/2013 | See all bowsie1's reviews (125)Top 100 Music Reviewer As a 42 year old man, i was dragged to the cinema to watch this musical along with most other fellas of the same age and upwards. What surprised me was the way the movie dragged you in from the first scene kept you ther for the duration. Incredible set pieces, amazing cast and the emotion that Anne Hathaway wrung out of I Dreamed a Dream was simply amazing. Hugh Jackman played the role that was almost tailor made for him on the screen and even ended up looking like Bon Scott of ACDC towards the end. A true achievement!!! So good i watched it a second time in the cinema, this time with my 14 year daughter which proved it appealled to all audiences. A true movie spectacle

If there were any doubts about the romance in London, they have gone when Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant starred the famous movie "Notting Hill ". Have a picnic in Hyde Park or Green Park, flirt in London Eye or in Covent Garden, and end the day with a candlelit dinner in one of the posh restaurants of the city.
The eight city parks, which were owned by royalty in the past, are an ideal place for a stroll or a picnic for two. Go by boat on River to Greenwich Park, or stick to the center of the city at Regent's Park, St James's Park or Green Park. This tour through the green spaces of city will never be quite complete, without passing through the lushes of Hyde Park to see the squirrels eating out of the visitors' hands. Walk along the Thames shores until you reach the Tower Bridge and take time to date the board in one of the London Eye capsules. Live a little bit the love story that crossed the world, such as Elisa and Professor Higgins in the movie My Fair Lady, in Covent Garden, or the romantic couple starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in "Notting Hill". If the weather is rainy, a common feature of the city, do not be discouraged. Buy tickets and go watch the most romantic musical you can find. Have a delicious snack tasting tea with scones in Sketch and dine by candlelight in Nobu, one of the best restaurants in town.

First Stage's 'Pinkalicious' is a tasty treat
In a world where enough is never enough - and where, with cupcakes as with potato chips, we can't seem to stop at one - a character like Pinkalicious Pinkerton is sure to be popular. The beloved children's book heroine is now starring in her very own musical at First Stage Children's Theater, under John Maclay's direction.
At first, pink-hued blush, there's nothing particularly complicated about this sugary confection, in which a cupcake-loving girl must learn the value of moderation - and the importance of eating greens. »Read Full Article(1)

Artist couple creates high-brow, low-brow conceptual feasts
It was a nine course meal, if you count the amuse-bouche and the three desserts, including the blue cheese ice cream with little cubes of poached pears and an artful balsamic reduction swirl on the plate. The skyline view was one of the more spectacular I've experienced here.
No, we weren't dining at one of Milwaukee's finest restaurants or one of the many fashionable newcomers either. We were in the modest-sized Brewers Hill apartment of two artists. It was the latest in what seems to be a growing trend of artist-driven conceptual feasts, a folding together of the creative class and foodie scene for one-night events. »Read Full Article

First Stage's 'Big Nate' filled with exaggerated comic fun
Late in the first act of "Big Nate" — the rollicking musical that just opened at First Stage under Jeff Schaetzke's direction — the 11-year-old title character launches into "Rock Star," a song channeling his fantasy of spending life surrounded by cheering throngs.
Molly Rhode's choreography — using circles that continually spiral Nate toward the center — underscores his status as a legend in his own mind. When good things like Nate come in a smaller package like Ben Kindler — who plays Nate in the Rainbow cast of alternating young actors that I saw — it's hard not to be amused by such oversized dreams. »Read Full Article

NEW YORK (AP) - Will Smith's con-man caper "Focus" disrobed "Fifty Shades of Grey" at the box office, but the film's modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once unstoppable star.
According to studio estimates Sunday, Warner Bros.' "Focus" easily topped all competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes. In second place was the Colin Firth spy thriller "Kingsman: The Secret Service," which made $11.8 million in its third week of release. »Read Full Article
