Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome...
Boy, born July 2006
Multiple congenital malformations, condition similar to CP.
Nevermind the pink — Easton is a boy!
Easton smiles, reacts to familiar adults, toys. Look at that gorgeous smile — are those dimples?
From a family who met him in March 2014:
Easton is an incredibly cheerful little boy. The nannies told us that he is smart and talks with them, though we were also told that he is delayed. In fairness, Easton spends almost all of his time in a crib. He would either be sitting or laying when we saw him.
Easton always seemed to be very aware of what was happening around him. One day when a nanny was getting our son ready for his visit, we did a little dance behind her and Easton laughed. He would often smile brighter when we would wave at him across the room while picking up our son on our visits. I believe Easton would flourish in his own family.
Boy, born December 2012
Congenital pathology of the central nervous system, internal hydrocephalus
This tiny little guy needs a mama's love!
Boy, born October 2013
After-effects of birth trauma – brain affection; open arterial duct (does not need surgery).
Such a sweet, squishy little guy! His head is completely flat on the back.
Tessa (Lora)
Girl, born August 2008
We were recently informed LORA is actually Tessa!
What a little doll Tessa is! She really needs a family — she has a whole host of medical issues.
Mental delay, rickets, strabismus (crossed eyes), epilepsy, and a speech delay. She does not talk at all. She prefers to be alone. Some of her behaviors remind autism but she was not diagnosed with it. Her epilepsy is well controlled by medications. It has been suggested that Tessa may have Angelman Syndrome, but this is not confirmed.
She is able to stand and walk independently. She does not have a diagnosis of CP but she walks unsteadily. She was previously diagnosed with microcephaly.
She deserves a loving family and a chance to reach her potential, not to be hidden away in a mental institution.
Ginny #458
Girl, 10 years old
Ginny has been diagnosed with mental delay with hyperkinetic manifestations; microcephalus; delayed physical development in terms of weight.
She walks and eats independently; throws and catches a ball; holds a pencil properly; listens to and reproduces parts of children's songs; follows simple verbal instructions; helps with performing simple everyday activities; sociable; uses words purposefully so as to express her wishes and assumptions.

Boy, born June 2006
Minimal brain dysfunction, pyramid insufficiency, secondary cardiomyopathy, anomalous chord of the left heart ventricle, hypermobility of hip joints, concomitant alternating convergent squint.
From a family who met him in late 2013:
Stephen was in Riley's groupa. We saw him a lot during our 7 weeks of visits. He stood out because he's 7 yo and taller than the other kids in his groupa of mostly 4-5 yo's. He is a SWEET, sweet boy. He has a great smile with dimples. He's not overly active (not hyper). Very obedient/cooperative and follows instructions and the flow of the groupa well. An easy going kiddo. He doesn't seem to have very significant needs. He functions very "typically", maybe just mild delays. One thing I'll never forget about Stephen… one time when we were invited to watch a performance the kids were putting on, we were one of the only people in the audience. He stood there, singing and doing the body motions to the production just as well as could be. He kept looking right at my husband and I like he was performing just for us. He just seemed to love having someone be there for him and encourage him, and nod and smile and let him know he was doing a good job. He was working so hard to do his best and he did so well! It was sweet and sad all at the same time….knowing we weren't his mama and papa and he didn't have anyone there to give him that recognition forever, that he so appreciated. He would make such a delightful son! We would have brought him home too but were only homestudy approved for one boy. He's in a good orphanage that provides good care and services. But who knows where he'll be transferred to when they no longer have space for him (he's already over age.) I have pictures and video of him. Such a kind, happy little boy….he needs a family!!!
Large families welcome; married couples only.
Girl, born August 2007
Diagnosis info coming soon.
She cannot walk and her mental development is normal.
From a family who met her in late 2013:
Kayla is about the sweetest child you could ever imagine. She is full of smiles and giggles. We saw her everyday for several weeks and I was able to play with her a few times. We played a game in which I would hand her a block and she would put it into a bag. She loved it. She prefers to use her left hand although if I'd put the block out of reach of her left hand she could use her right. She is constantly in a stroller. I never saw her anywhere else. I did notice she seemed to have good control over her legs. I bet she could walk with PT and some love! She is small for her age. She needs dental care now. She made good eye contact and watched what I was doing. I was able to give her simple instructions despite the language barrier and she followed them. I truly believe she would absolutely thrive in a family. And a family would be beyond blessed by her sweet little self.
Cliff #397
Boy, born 2008
This almost 5-year-old boy has infantile cerebral palsy, microcephaly, club feet, congenital megacolon and hypotrophy.

We saw Brad quite a few times while we visited our daughter. Brad is very short for his age, and his head is definitely big proportional to his body. We observed him dancing in a recital two different times. He seemed coordinated. He is curious and intelligent. Brad always had a twinkle in his eye! I would love to talk about Brad to seriously interested parents.

Emotional disorders
Boy, born May 2004 (old picture)
Visual impairment, slight mental delay without behavioral disorders
Boy, born January 2012
Spastic dyplegia, completely deaf
Sweet boy has such beautiful, dark eyes.
Update from a family who met him in early 2014:
Teddy crawls- he's very high functioning. He does have some autistic type behaviors- but I think it's because he cannot hear. In other words- he stims from boredom, and when they call his name, unless he's looking at their faces when they speak, he appears not to respond. Which is to be expected, as he is deaf.

Maia is a sweet little girl. She was able to follow orders and do everything that her teacher asked her to do. She doesn't speak but giggled a lot and made some noises. Her doctor said that while she was unsure if Maia would speak, she felt the prognosis was good. Her eyes are crossed. Vision and hearing are otherwise fine. Maia has mental delays and would benefit from focused attention and education. Maia is lively and active and ready for a family who is ready to play!

Annie #40-4
Diagnosis: delays in development -report indicates that due to delayed speech, Autism was initially suspected. However, no formal testing has been done and the child's development is continuing to improve.
Annie is 8 years old. Her motor skills are well developed. She walks, runs, catches & throws a ball, climbs, hops on one foot and participates in musical games that require movement. Her fine motor skills are developing as well. She can open/close scissors and is learning to cut with them. She draws on paper, though she is not yet writing letters. She plays with play dough and builds a tower of 12 blocks. She is in the 1st grade and attending school outside the orphanage. She follows verbal directions and responds to her name. She tries to imitate words said by adults. She currently expresses herself non verbally. She is very protective of her possessions. She doesn't often initiate play with the other children, but she will play close to them. She will join in organized group activities for short periods of time and is very emotionally responsive to familiar adults. She needs extra time to complete tasks and has a short attention span. She stops inappropriate behaviors when redirected by an adult. She feeds and dresses herself. Since she is non verbal, she does not yet indicate that she needs to go to the bathroom on her own, so she is taken on a schedule and is completely toilet trained using this method.
Update March 2014:
She was recently transferred to a mental institution.
The child has moderate mental delay and her neuropsychological development is delayed mostly with regards to her speech. However, as you will see in the videos, the girl is repeating words after an adult and trying to pronounce them as the adult does. She knows and shows all her body parts, she knows how to write the first letter of her name. She also tries to write her full name but still has some difficulties as she is changing the order of the letters. The girl understands everything she is told by adults. She follows instructions and does errands. She is very musical. In the videos you will see her perform dance movements when asked by an adult.
It is obvious that this is a lovely, affectionate child, who seeks adults' attention, caress and closeness. She is willing to learn new things and I believe that with a constant family environment, providing her with comfort, encouragement, love and attention and with regular individual sessions with a speech therapist, this child could achieve much more progress in her development.
Additional photos & videos are available.
Klive #272
11 year old boy
Diagnosed with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
The child likes to play soccer, basketball and badminton. He likes physically activities. Klive looks very smile and smart. I think that he does very well at school because there are people who understand him and people that he can speak to. He likes his life at the boarding-school and when we asked him if he wants to back there, he said yes. I am sure that if Klive lives with parents who have commands of sigh language and pay him the needed attention, he will advance a lot as he is very smart and looks really motivated. He is an open, communicative and bright child! He is healthy and active little boy, who for sure will flourish in a family environment!
Klive has normal intellect. Good emotional background. Positive emotions prevail.
Klive is sociable, active, lively, open, and lightly and boldly interacts with people. Has does not have habits for keeping distance. He constantly seeks contact with the children from the group. Shows willingness and cooperates with the adults. He has acquired good manners. He can work individually as well as in group.

Update from a family who met her in Nov 2013:
We visited her first during our November visit to Bulgaria. She is absolutely beautiful. She is very sweet and was happy to be held. She clearly has likes and dislikes and is able to make that clear. We spent a lot of time walking with her when she got restless from laying or sitting for too long. I was able to feed her one afternoon. She has some feeding issues and needs to eat pureed or soft foods. She enjoys eating and showed, by her eagerness, which foods were her favorite. She did not show any signs of recognizing her caregivers and showing any varying emotion for different people. We were told that she has not connected to any of her caregivers or show recognition of them. We had an evaluation done on her medical file by our local International Adoption Center. They told us that given what is reported in her MRI that she has fluid where she should have brain matter so her functioning level will likely not make major gains. I can't say enough how lovely she is and sweet. She showed preference for toys and loves to put things in her mouth! We very much enjoyed our time with her.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.

She sits in a positioning chair and loves it. She manipulate with objects-she puts cubes one on top of the other, puts wide rings on a fixed axis, she inlays 5 cubes with different sizes one into the other. She concentrates for longer time when doing something that is interesting for her. She likes listening to music and will share her toys with other children. She follows simple directions.

Molly and Marcey #
Age: 10
Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy- quadriplegic
The girls were raised by their birth family until they were 3 years old. They both have CP that effects all 4 limbs. Both girls recently had tendon release surgery to extend range of motion in their knees. Both girls suffer from muscle spasms common in children with CP, which impacts their motor skills.
Both girls can independently roll over and sit in a supported seat controlling their head and upper body with proper supports for their legs. Both girls will engage and interact with other children and caregivers by following movement with their eyes/head, reacting with laughter or spontaneous sounds and reaching for toys. Both girls have good hand/eye coordination and can reach for and grasp a toy/object and move it to their mouth. The girls are placed in adaptive chairs in the main group area so that they can observe and interact with other children, which they enjoy. The recommendation for their future care includes physical therapy to address joint contractures and prevent future ones, medication/treatment options to address muscle spasms, speech therapy and exposure to other peer models.

Boy, born April 2001
Down syndrome, no heart defect noted, mental delays
Down syndrome
From one of our adoptive families who met her in August 2014: " Harley was so sweet and gentle. She reached for my hands several times and is very aware of her surroundings. She is walking and just a gentle little love. However, she knows how to express her dislikes as well. One of the other children was crowding her and she did not like it so she let her know in no uncertain terms that she was not pleased. She really is a doll!"
From someone who met her in 2013:
It is so difficult to believe we celebrated Harley's 13th birthday when we visited the orphanage. She's so very tiny and still very much a baby. She is very loving and sweet. She clings to you when you hold her and always smiles when you bounce her up and down and tickle you. She doesn't walk or talk, and is very limited. Harley is capable of walking with assistance and can take a few steps on her own if you push her hard enough! She can babble a little bit.
Update March 2014:
This little girl has spunk! She is now walking while holding hands with the nanny, and has opinions of her own about exactly who she will walk with and when she will do it. She may look like a 5 year old in size, but she has a ton of personality and independence! She seemed quite obedient, as they asked her to sit in her bed for a bit while they got her things together.
She doesn't speak that I heard, but is very observant and watched everything that was going on. Her receptive language skills seem much better than her expressive ones, since she nodded and complied with everything they asked, even though she had just woken up and seemed a bit bleary eyed. The staff said she has a very good attention span. She is very cute – so tiny for her age- she looks just like a kindergartner, not a 14 year old.
Boy, born September 2004
Mental delays; he does not talk. He is very active.
From someone who met him in 2013:
Brayden looks to be about 4 years old, not 9. He's a very energetic and happy little boy. He would always run up to the missionaries. He is in the same groupa as Collier. He loved it when we went outside, and when the older boys swung him around. He also loved swinging on the bench swing and on one of the bouncy cars. He has some speech sounds, but it is very difficult to understand. Brayden is also very caring, and has the most infectious smile. I believe he would be a very good fit in a family.
Update March 2014:
He is a very enthusiastic and high energy little guy with obvious microcephaly. He spoke, but very minimally, and makes a lot of other noises- squeals and such. he is very assertive, especially when it comes to getting something he wants (like candy and fruit!) and seems to have poor proprioceptive input, and is unaware of how frequently he bounces into people and things lol (very common with FAS, and typically addressed through an improved sensory diet and occupational therapy, for more info, read about the Out of Sync Child). He seems like a sweet little boy.
Boy, born 2002
mental delays, cardiopathy and microcephaly
Every person – be it a child or an adult – wants to get attention and recognition. Gideon is not an exception: he speaks loudly so that adults couldn't ignore him. He is persistent too. Once the goal is set, he tries to achieve it. He likes to interact with others and join the children in their activities: playing outside, drawing – if it's what the other children do, or swinging even if there is already somebody on the swings.
However he can also play calmly on his own. He doesn't like to draw or to paint for a long time but he tries to make the best piece of art he can. And of course if there is a chance to play in sand or to throw pebbles into seawater – this is the biggest fun for the energetic boy!
Gideon also likes to watch children's movies and sing songs. And even if his singing is not perfect and sometimes you cannot make out some words, with his loud cheerful voice and a lively smile Gideon brings joy and genuineness into this world.

Mindie #444
Girl, born 2006

She has been diagnosed with Prematurity, moderate internal hydrocephaly, Spina bifida /the defect has been closed through a plastic surgery/, paraplegia inferior, pes equinovarus bilateralis. According to the staff at her orphanage it's more likely that her hydrocephaly is a stationed one which is probably the reason why she has not had a shunt surgery.

Gabby #HA
Girl, born 2009
microcephaly; cerebral palsy – spastic quadriparesis; Congenital heart malformation, severe developmental delays
Sweet Gabby has some significant needs. Gabby was at one time declared unfit for travel by medical professionals. A family would need to be prepared for that possibility.
The agency has additional information and videos available for inquiring families.
From a family who has met her: I have met this child and reviewed all of her medical records. I've spoken at length to the director (who is a doctor) about her needs. I have touched her and spoken to her and prayed over her. I've written an accurate description of her here, if you'd like to accurately reflect her needs. She is completely unresponsive to touch and voices. It sounds cruel, but the reality is that all she does is breathe. She did not move the entire time I was in the room. There was no reaction at all to my touch. Her eyes fluttered, but I honestly think it was involuntary eye movement. I am not a doctor and I would LOVE to be wrong. But US doctors have looked at her brain scans and said that she does not have a brain".

Boy, born October 2007
Moderate mental delay, convergent concomitant alternating strabismus
Kolby #65
Boy, Age: 3
Diagnosis: Retrolental fibrodysplasia on both sides.
Kolby is blind but is with preserved intellect and is very smart and sweet!
Kolby can crawl and walk a few steps when held by hand of an adult. He is able to hold a toy that was passed to him. He recognizes familiar and unfamiliar voices. He repeats everything said by adults and is learning children songs. He is able to answer questions correctly with yes or no. He is able to raise himself around fixed support and to sit. He enjoys the proximity of a loved adult, he likes to be hugged. He prefers to play with rattles, creating strong noise by hitting them into objects. He has a positive attitude towards himself and the surrounding. He does not show any signs of aggression or autoaggression.
Update July 2014
Kolby is very beautiful and charming little boy who has a lot of potential!! If he has the chance to find and live in supporting family environment – with a loving, caring family, who helps him show and develop his potential, he has the abilities to achieve a lot. He is just 4 and he can speak, walk and freely lead a dialog with adults. This child just needs someone, who will love and direct him and then I am more than sure that growing up he will have more independent and free life – life that everyone needs and deserves. He memorizes very quick, his intellectual capacity is very good. This child is looking for contact and socialization most of the time – just because he is motivated by himself, he needs it. He misses one of the most important sense that can master skills and information with (his vision), but he has fully preserved intellectual capacity, as well as auditory. He can achieve a lot if he finds his family forever, who will support, help and show him how to master new, and more and more skills. This child really needs his chance for better future, full of love and care that will help him to be complete adult in the future!

Clayton and Caleb
Twin boys, born August 2010
Clayton has Cerebral palsy.
Caleb has been diagnosed with Flail legs, superior spastic paraplegia, focal symptomatic epilepsy.
Please help us find them a family, where they can grow up together and reach their full potential!
From someone who met them in 2013:
(Brother 1) He is in with a much younger groupa. He goes outside twice daily when it is nice, and this orphanage does physical therapy five times a week. He makes eye contact, but is in his own little world until you talk directly to him. He appears kind of zoned out, and then I said his name and stroked his cheek and his whole body came to life, just longing to be touched and tickled. He arched his back and smiled, but I wasn't allowed to pick him up. He has grown too long for his stroller. I put a velcro wrist rattle on him and he purposefully moved his left arm to interact with it immediately. He is well nourished there, but he will really need a mama's touch to help him grow. His teeth look like they are in great shape. He uses his arms, but I did not see him move his legs, though he was certainly wiggling from one side to the other and is a kid who would really like to be on the move! He is not in the same groupa as his brother. Kids are generally grouped by what they are eating, and his brother was in the groupa for kids doing formula and purees. I think he may be on only formula still. It was so hard to leave him behind!
(Brother 2) Several days later, I saw who I thought was the same child in a different stroller, but the nannies corrected me when I called him by his brothers name, slowly communicating that this was his twin brother. They look SO much alike! The first day I saw him, he was badly in need of a diaper change and I showed the nannies. He was laying flat on his back in the outdoor playpen, and when I came back to return my daughter to the groupa, he was still there an hour later, unchanged in diaper and position. The next day I saw him, though, one of the sweet nannies was playing music on her ipod, and he was laying close to her in a stroller. Although he didn't interact with the music, he was very quick to respond to my voice. The second I stopped talking, he stopped smiling and zoned out again. But, he was so responsive to touch and baby talk! He pushed his body around in the stroller with his legs AND arms, and had a lot of good neck strength. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is only being limited by the assumptions of his diagnosis. As we left our daughter's groupa for the last time, we saw him being lovingly carried down to his physical therapy appointment. I think it was a sign of good things to come for these boys!
Neither boy is using meaningful speech, though both babble. Videos available. Wonderful region to adopt from, especially if one parent needs to stay alone for a time.
Girl, born November 2005

Boy, born 2005
Luca is all boy! He adores mechanical devices and toys, with any action involved. He can spend a long time concentrating, studying the secrets of mechanics. Most of the time he plays alone as it isn't easy for him to interact with others. When he gets tired of talking he goes to a corner and sits there for a long time. There are not many chances for him to be alone at the orphanage.
Luca prefers routines; it's hard for him to deal with changes in his surroundings. The usual routine, having the same people around and things in usual places create for him an illusion of steadiness and reliability in his world. It calms him down and gives him some confidence. Unfortunately, soon Luca will have to drastically change his life. But, it would be better for him if he gets used to a foster home than to the institution.
Although he is a thin boy, he likes to eat. His mood changes like the weather on a spring day. He could be crying one moment and the next moment laughing. Classes are not always interesting to him but. He appreciates when some adults help him with his homework.
Boy, born August 2001
Isn't he handsome!
Murray is in the same orphanage with several other available children. Interested and approved families could adopt multiple children together.
From a family who met him in late 2013:
Murray is one of our daughter's best friends, and she SO wants him to have a family! She says, "Murray is smart, very nice, very handsome, and he is a good dancer. He is a good English student, and he has many friends. He is funny and hardworking."
We spent many, many hours with Murray (and all of the kids from Orphanage 60), and Murray was DEFINITELY one of our favorites. He is so sweet, so much fun, so wonderful! Murray loved using my camera while we were there. Every time I brought my camera, he wanted to take photos, and many of his photos turned out very well. He helps all of the kids in his class with their homework — this kid is SMART! He is very organized and loved helping us and the orphanage workers. His English isn't good, but it's better than any of the other kids in his class, so I know he'll excel in his English once he's in America and getting good English lessons. He was playful and loved spending time with us. I miss him terribly now that we're home, and I want him to have a family just as much as our daughter does!
We have hundreds of photos and videos of Murray, not to mention stories of our time with him. If you or anyone you know is interested in bringing the most amazing boy you'll ever meet into your family as your beloved son, please contact me. I want to find this guy his forever home!
$2818.45 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

He is not one to be found playing sports or soccer on the field but engaging in conversation or helping the adult supervisors in the boarding school. He is very well liked by the staff and helpful to them. He loves swimming and just being near you. He is very receptive to hugs and willing to give and take them. He is one to grab your hand, hold it while you walk and it just makes his day!

Boy, born Feb 2006
Birth defect of central nervous system, hydrocephalus, mental delays, manifest deviation, cardipathy and protein-calorie deficiency
Elijah needs a family asap, because he needs constant care, and at the orphanage he doesn't receive it. They fed him with wheat cream only and how he is feeling sick all the time, it's hard to feed him, so that at orphanages he just remains hungry sometimes.
He can walk and likes music and playing with mobile phones. He likes watching TV and doesn't speak much.
Elijah really responds well to a male caregiver — he needs a Papa of his very own!
From someone who met him summer 2013:
Elijah is a beautiful, sweet child. He is nonverbal but he occasionally makes some noises. Unfortunately, when I saw him he had to be restrained most of the time because he would hit himself and bang his head … hard. He now has a one-on-one caregiver, and I hear he is doing very well. Elijah likes to watch tv, and he loves musical toys. When you play music for him, he just lights up in a huge smile. He has an infectious laugh. While I was visiting, Elijah had surgery to fix a malfunctioning shunt. I was able to visit him in the hospital. The dedication of the man who is now his personal caregiver was amazing. Elijah can walk with support, and he loves to be held and cuddled. This little blond-haired child looks like an angel, and he would bring nothing but joy to a family's life.

Grabs a toy when given to him and holds it for a while. Turns his head towards the direction of a sound. Makes active and passive movements with the limbs. Has a calm daily and night sleep.

Pics from 2013 – he wants to be adopted!
Ethan is in the same orphanage with several other available children. Interested and approved families could adopt multiple children together.
From a family who met him in Nov. & Dec. 2013:
Ethan is older than our daughter and so wasn't in her group. However, he clearly enjoys interacting with the younger kids, and he came into her group room at least two or three evenings each week to play-wrestle and to play games/video games with the younger kids. We met him our first weekend with our daughter, when Ethan came outside for about 2 hours on Saturday to play with the younger kids. He impressed me immensely in that short amount of time. He was gentle and kind with them, laughing and joking. Not once did he display any mean or bullying behavior, which some of the other older boys did. He was very respectful and polite to my husband and me, as well as toward the teachers. That behavior continued every time we saw him for the next six weeks. He especially likes play wrestling with the younger boys, although he is always very gentle with them. Many times he would be play wrestling with one of the younger, much smaller boys, and I'd see him get to a position where he could have easily taken the play too far and hurt the younger boy, but not once did he do so. He always gently set down the younger boy with a big smile. As a result, he is a favorite with the younger boys. He's also a bit goofy, in an understated way. For example, he likes to wear silly clothing combinations just to get a reaction from the other children. Once he was walking around with his skinny jeans rolled up his legs to look like shorts, but with huge gigantic cuffs. The other kids thought it was hilarious! Ethan told our daughter how much he wants a family. He will be a huge blessing and a wonderful addition to the family that chooses him.
Boy, born October 2001
Crossed-eyes, development delays
From someone who met him:
Marv is a very sweet, happy boy. He loves to play soccer, even though his vision problems make that very difficult for him. He has been living in a boarding school for typical kids, and receiving his own private lessons, but recently was transferred to a facility in another region specifically for children with special needs. His favorite class is math, and he gets great grades in math. His least favorite class is Ukrainian. He is said to learn more slowly than other children, which is why he has required private lessons.
He is cheerful, friendly, and sociable. He said several times he would like to be adopted by an American family.

Boy, born Dec. 2004
Moderate mental delays
He is a very good boy, communicable, calm and friendly.
From a family who met him in Fall 2013:
Pearson is doing so good!! He is precious and sweet! I saw him from a distance every day. The first time, he was with a group of boys having their picture taken in the fall leaves. He always did what the nanny told him to. He walks very well, and he likes holding the nannies hands. My favorite day was when I walked past their group and he was right in front of me on the sidewalk, and before the nanny could move him, I bent down and in Russian told him how sweet he was. He took my face in both of his hands, and pulled me down so our foreheads were touching, and just stared in my eyes. I kissed his cheek, and his whole face lit up!! And he has the most adorable splatter of freckles! He is smaller than I would have thought too.

From someone who met him:

Сerebral palsy with mild tetraparesis; Severe mental delays
From a family who met him:
He is so sweet and smart! He was asked to come tell us "Speceeba" (thank you) for the bananas a few times by the other staff. They wanted us to see him. He's quite small for his age, walks with a little trouble, not much (this was 3 years ago though). On the last day we asked about adopting another child. The director sent for him. He came out and sang us a beautiful song in Russian. It has haunted me. I know when a previous family was there, he looked very battered.
He needs out!
Boy, born March 2001
Significant mental delays, sequela after viral encephalitis, cerebral palsy, tetraparesis, epilepsy
He was a truly desperate sight. He sat rocking back and forth and moaning and staring into space. I wonder how a real life in a family could break the shell he is now locked in. My heart breaks for him even now!

Boy, born January, 2004
Down syndrome, mental delays, inborn partial optic atrophy of both eyes
From an adoptive family who visited him in 2014: " He is hilarious. He is on puree but can take some lumps. That means he is usually the last to eat and squacks with displeasure. He loves to makes noises with his lips and will thrive in a family. I bet he will learn to speak. When I came to visit my son he came and sat on the couch next to me and held my hand for 20 minutes. He is not particularly shy. He does very small bits of rocking and does not do much stimming. He is a favorite of the caretakers. He is a sweet and curious little guy who is the size of a 4 or 5 year old."
From an adoptive family who visited with him in June 2013: I met Delmar today. He is really tiny … maybe the size of a 3 year old, very petite in build. He was quite shy and didn't want to come near me. He moved away when I tried to touch his hand. He was more open with the therapist who was there (a guy). Mostly he just sat on a mat, rocking and looking into space. Occasionally he waved his hands around. He's a beautiful little boy, and was adorable in a tiny pair of overalls.

Girl, born January 2006
cerebral palsy, bigeminal epilepsy, deep mental handicap, inner hydrocephaly, convergent squint
Kendall is a true orphans, as her mother has passed away.
From someone who met her:
She was gorgeous, when I spent time with her she had been taken into the playroom by a caretaker and she was lapping up every single second, she couldn't stop laughing and grinning; it was a joy to watch! when I compare to pictures I received of her later in her cot it does not look like the same child! She needs a life and love, she could bloom, I know it!
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born January 2000
Cerebral palsy, difficult mental handicap
From someone who met him: When I met him I was heartbroken! More than any child in the institution the sight of this thin boy with his hands tied and blood on his sleeves made me weep! My own child self-harms and I think I connected with this sight…it could have been my angel!! The staff told me he was tied for his protection, as he hurts himself; the holes on his sleeves obviously points to this… my own child has a self-harming syndrome and lives a wondrously happy and fabulous family life! Yes it needs managing but this child in front of me was desperate and my heart literally broke! He needs help and the life I know he can lead!
From an adoptive family who visited with him in June 2013: I met Nehemiah today. He is in a groupa with 7 other boys. In the playroom he sat on a mat with a stuffed lion. He didn't really interact with me at all. Occasionally he would begin to cry loudly. Luckily, the caregivers responded to him quickly. He has sores all over his hands and wounds on his face. He's a very attractive little guy, though.
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born March 2003
Sequels of encephalitis, convulsive disorder, sensorimotor alalia, deep mental handicap
A terribly sad rocking child whose face showed so much sorrow behind the eyes it was heart wrenching! He moaned and rocked and seemed untouchable! His eyes haunt me even now! How I wish I could have spent more time with him. He so needs a family to wipe away that sorrow.
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born November 2002
Cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, microcephaly, deep mental handicap, carditis, biliary dyskinesia
He was in the same room as Bobby and seemed quite quiet. I would love to see him outside of those stifling rooms.
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born May 2001
Mental delays, inborn hydrocephaly, cerebral palsy, anemia
When I met him he was in the institution, but he has since moved to the first happy home (after another boy was adopted) so he is in a much better situation. I know emotionally he suffers, as he cries an awful lot.
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born Sept 1999
Cerebral palsy, deep mental handicap, hydrocephaly, complete vascular leukoma, corneal staphyloma, inborn optic atrophy
This child is rather calm, but always smiles when somebody touches him, and always tries to walk with somebody's support.
From a family who met him in June 2013: I met Blaine today. When I arrived at the orphanage he was being stretched by the therapist. He seemed to really like the therapist and would crawl to him and hold up his hands so that he could stand up. He can walk if you hold both his hands, and I saw him in a gait trainer, too. It's very difficult for him to walk as he doesn't seem to be able to fully straighten his legs. Blaine smiles a lot and seemed to be a pretty happy kid. He did get mad about something and have a tantrum, but it passed quickly. He rocks a lot and makes repetitive noises. He came over to sit by me and took my hand from another child's so he could hold it. He was very interested in my iPhone.
From someone who met him: He was a bundle of smiles, just desperate to interact with us. [One of the men] picked him up and swung him, they obviously have built up a relationship and he shrieked with laughter…it was joyous! He was made to sit next to Tania for a picture, she hated it but he was just fine! He would blossom in a family and with a life!
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Girl, born August 2007
Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities, myopia
Miriam also has significant signs of FAS, although that is not diagnosed
From someone who met her:
I loved this child but she seemed so lost…she had only just arrived at the institution when I visited and she was bewildered! She is TINY. She is the child we all talk about, the child plucked from the baby house at 5 and left in a cot! She is the child forgotten and alone!
I was told she could walk, in fact she is the only child in the bedridden building who can walk, and then without warning she was swooped from her cot and paraded in front of me. A recent update says she is still moving and can still walk and she cries if she doesn't get her walk! And she is still laughing and playing; but for how much longer?
She needs OUT! She needs a Mama, NOW!
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born Sept 2004
Coffin Lowry Syndrome, Hydrocephalus, moderate mental delays
Garrett does not speak, but understands speech addressed to him. Garrett can be adopted with Troy and Sammy.
From an adoptive family:
I met Garrett in May 2012 and I will always remember how sweet he was. He was usually the first one to greet me with a hug when I visited. He was always so excited to show off for me. When the care-taker announced that they were all going outside he promptly put his shoes on and helped some of the other kids with their shoes as well. He and the other boys in his group (Troy and Sammy) are very well loved by one of their care-takers and it shows. It is obvious that they have been taught manners and cooperation and they are very kind to one another. They are taught at least several days a week so do not let the diagnosis deceive you, they are fairly smart boys. They all have obvious delays but never had any problems following instructions and they understood everything they were told and all seemed to love to be helpful. When I show our son (who was adopted from this group) their pictures he remembers their names and tells me they were his friends. He told me he wants them to be adopted and to come to the U.S. How I pray that happens for Garrett and the other boys! Garrett is so sweet and innocent, I hate to see what will happen to him if he ages out of the orphanage.
Boy, born Feb 2005
Asthma and Moderate mental delays; Subcompensated hydrocephalus; possible FAS
What a great grin! Sammy can be adopted together with Troy or Garrett.
From an adoptive family:
I met Sammy in May 2012 and he was one of the sweetest kids I had ever met. Always ready with a smile and a hug! I brought things for all the kids in his group and he waited so patiently for his turn and gave me a big hug after. He was very kind and gentle with all the other kids, especially the one girl in the group. He and the other boys in his group (Troy and Garrett) are very well loved by one of their care-takers and it shows. It is obvious that they have been taught manners and cooperation and they are very kind to one another. They are taught at least several days a week so do not let the diagnosis deceive you, they are fairly smart boys.
They all have obvious delays but never had any problems following instructions and they understood everything they were told and all seemed to love to be helpful.

Rebekah #69-3
Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy
Rebekah was born premature at 27 weeks and has quadriplegic CP. She is delayed in all aspects of her development.
Additional information about her abilities and development are coming soon.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.
Girl, Dec 2009
Congenital brain malformation (corpus collosum agenesia), spastic tetraparesis, epileptic syndrome, optic nerves atrophy, equinovarus, condition after exudative pericarditis, hypotrophy, deficiency anemia, mental retardation, convalescent bronchial pneumonia.
Bryannah #8-3
Diagnosis: Down syndrome
Bryannah has been in a mental institution since 2011. She has been in orphanages her entire life, but was just recently registered for adoption in 2013. She has waited 12 years for a chance to find a family! She walks, plays with toys, responds to her name and attends a special needs school each day. She is not talking and still requires help with daily self-help skills.
The agency also has a video available.
Doug #33-4
Doug has already been transferred to a mental institution!!!
This precious little boy has already been through several major transitions in his short life. He was raised by his birth family until he was 16 months old. He was then placed in an orphanage for young children for 7 months. A month before his 3rd birthday, he was transfered to a mental institution, where he currently lives.
Doug has moderate mental delays with no known cause. He walks and runs and climbs on objects. His visual-motor skills are developed but he still has difficulty with fine motor tasks. His speech is delayed and he is not talking at this time. He has recently begun showing an interest in toys and playing with them. He spends time each day in the sensory room. He does not like for the staff to try to direct his activities and prefers to do his own thing. He does play appropriately with toys and manipulates them in the correct ways. His favorite toys are balls, blocks, cars and trucks. He recognizes staff members and smiles at them. He seeks out interactions with them and will cuddle with them too. He tries to get them to follow him and to engage them in whatever activity he is doing. He doesn't yet seek out any interaction with the other children. He eats from a spoon and drinks from a cup with some assistance from the staff.
At 27 months of age, his skill level was tested at:
motor skills- 2 years
speech development- 5-6 months
cognitive development: 10-12 months
$18.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, he will not be able to receive further donations until a family is found for him.

Comments On Apr 09, 2014:awesome fit and protection

Comments On Jan 27, 2014:These knee guards are bulky and do not fit well at all. They slide down even with my awesome ARC knee guard socks. I would spend the extra $$ and get some nice ones. I wore them once and am stuck with them now, collecting dust. Went back to my old wornout ones. Saving up to get some better made ones.

Comments On Apr 11, 2013:Bought these on sale, and finally am very pleased with wearing this type of protection. Most comfortable pair I've worn.

Comments On Mar 13, 2013:How can you go wrong with these. I have skinny legs, bought size large and worked great. Some people said chafing was bad but if you wear above knee sock everything is comfortable. And won't tear up graphics like most others

Comments On Feb 25, 2013:I tried this after using another brand, they do a ok job. The top strap can bother me after awhile and there was no directions on how to put them on. No right or left on guards to tell apart. They do work good though.

Comments On Jan 27, 2013:I bought these to substitute for my EVS bulky braces and they work quite well. They provide a fair amount of protection of about 6" above the knee cap and the neoprene keeps the guards comfy and adhered to my knees, so there is little to no movement.. Nitro means Travis Pastrana certified, so that can't be all bad. Great knee guard for the price! I found myself riding quicker laps due to the lighter weight of these as opposed to the lowest-line EVS knee braces that I have owned for the past two years. I think I will use these more often!

Comments On Jul 14, 2011:Nice knee guards but they don't fit under pants (Answer Ion) very well.

Comments On Jul 01, 2011:I bought these because my six six one knee gaurds are getting really worn out after years and years of riding. Ordered them in the Adult "Large" size and they are way to small and tight. I am 220 pounds but not that abnormally large. Might work good for a smaller dudes.

Comments On Mar 03, 2011:I wear them under my leathers as well as around the shop to work on my bikes. No complaints.

TeamSnap is my new favorite website. Beyond its sheer handiness, TeamSnap is the most intuitive and easy-to-use Web application since Gmail. A half-drunk lobotomized chimp could register a team. And probably play shortstop. Margaret Lyons, TimeOut Chicago
Managing a team for coed, intramural or beer league sports can be a tricky thing. Tracking down team members, arranging and sharing game time and location information, and keeping track of who's paid what and who's in need of equipment or uniforms or things like that can all present quite a challenge. TeamSnap takes a lot of that trickiness out of the process, and there's a free plan, so it works on any budget. Darrell Etherington, Web Worker Daily
Online team management software, such as TeamSnap, let you know who will and won't be at a specific game, who's bringing snack, and who's paid their registration fees. You can even customize it to keep track of uniform sizes and more! Emily Cohen, Youth Soccer Insider

"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"This card is perfect if you have a super cute or sweet photo of babies, children, or pets. I used a closeup shot of my client's adorable bulldog puppy! The card was a big hit! I chose a semi gloss finish to give it an extra pop. I paid extra to print a return address on the envelopes to save time. My only suggestion when ordering would be to check the box for designer review. That takes a couple days to get it back so you can look at it before it is printed. I was in a hurry and opted to go straight to print but I was a little disappointed when the cards arrived. The photo was a little too dark. I am a photograher and had a quality image with good lighting but when it was printed it cane out darker than I expected. I've never had that problem before. I always choose tiny prints because the quality of paper and designs are simply the best!"
"I have used tiny prints for about five years...always pleased. This year my photo was delayed due to photographer so I opted for New Years card. ...and paid extra postage for fast delivery. All went well."
"I used this card for my business Holiday cards, and I could not be more pleased with the wonderful quality, not only of the paper quality which was thick and sturdy, but also of the photo and text quality which was absolutely beautiful! The shipping was on time and quick. I have received many thanks from my customers who were all pleased and gave many compliments on the beauty of the card itself. Thank you Tiny Prints! I plan to use you again and again!"
"Card turned out even better than I anticipated. Graphic design & scale perfect for my photograph. Paper quality of the card and envelope exceptional. Excellent customer service - thank you Brian! Quick turnaround. Very pleased."

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth relationship tweet hints they are back together
Miley Cyrus Tweet about ring
(CNN) -- This Miley Cyrus/Liam Hemsworth situation is giving us whiplash.
First, Miley's planning the perfect wedding, and the next thing we know, there are rumors that Liam had become well-acquainted with a certain "Mad Men" actress.
All of that gossip seemed to have a droplet of truth when Miley was seen earlier this month without her engagement ring.
The singer/actress later denied the whispers that her wedding had been called off ... but the media had already picked up on the fact that Liam had taken off for Australia.
Earlier this week, the New York Post's Page Six was pretty convinced that things were "over" between Miley and Liam, while E! News said no, they haven't given up yet.
So what does Miley have to say? Not much - CNN has yet to hear back from her camp, or Liam's - but a tweet on Thursday seemed to give a hint.
"[U]gh that's the worst!" Cyrus said in response to a follower who had to get an engagement ring repaired. "I just had a similar situation except when it happens to me then everyone says my wedding is off."
