We are so glad to finally be able to relist Mandy! She was born with multiple skeletal anomalies, including fused/webbed hands.
The girl is smiling, laughing. She reaches for toys. She walks in baby-jumper. Doctors consider that surgery may help to separate her fingers on the hands. They give a positive prognosis regarding her mental development. More photos are available.
This region typically waives the 10 day waiting period for children with special needs.
Boy, born Jan 2013
Down syndrome
Such irresistible chubby cheeks!
Boy, born August 1998
Down syndrome
Gene is described as eager and easygoing.
From someone who met him: To really 'get access' to Gene, you need to try hard. Some days he's living in his own world and it's hard to 'reach' him. But it's worth the effort. I met Gene in the summer, and the other children in the group were all trying to get my attention, Gene wouldn't I tried to give some attention to every child in the group, so also to Gene. It took a while before I could get him out of his own world. I grabbed his hand and just stroke his fingers one at a time. He would look at his fingers, and after doing that for minutes, he would finally look at me. He looked who was stroking his hand.
Still he didn't allow me to touch him more than just stroking his hand. Next day I was wondering if he would still remember me and if I could touch his hand again. I didn't need to ask myself that question, because as soon as I walked in, he came up to me, reaching me his hand. I knew I broke through his wall that kept him safe in his own world. It still took me a while to really 'open him up'. In November I visited his group again, and again it took me a while to 'reach' him. But as I was tickling one of the other boys in his group, he came closer. So I grabbed his hand, to pull him on my lap, next to the other boy, and I tickled him. What happened was amazing! He started to laugh! He laughed out loud, the first time I heard him do that. And he couldn't stop anymore. His laugh was so contagious and so wonderful to hear it. It brought tears to my eyes. He was so open and he wanted me to tickle him more. Next day I could hardly touch him again, which was hard for me, because I wanted to get him out of his own world again. But I found out that I should not lose hope, because it depends on his mood if he will let you touch him. Another day I could tickle him again and he laughed again. This boy just needs more stimulation to stay out of his own world. Because of the lack of stimulation he normally just sits on the ground and rock back and forth. But he is able to walk, to run around and play games. He can have fun and interact with other children. It just takes a little more. This boy is already in the institute for a long time, and this is the price he paid for it.
He desperately needs a family — He needs a family committed to him before his 16th birthday, otherwise he'll be condemned to institution life forever.
Married couples only, large families welcome.
$18,615.80 has been donated towards the cost of my adoption!

Boy, born 2000
Down syndrome
From a family who visited with him in 2014:
In all my interaction and time with Dillon, I never saw the slightest sign that he was aggressive or had the ability to hit children. In fact, out of all the boys there, Dillon is the most gentle, softhearted, and kind. I did see some horse play and pinching between the other boys, but never Dillon. Dillon is calm, extremely happy, and joyful, and very soft and slow with his movements.
From another family who met him:
He is beautiful! absolutely a treasure. a teddy bear my hubby says. When he first met me, he kissed my hand to say hello, and then he kissed (my husband's) hand. He has a beautiful smile! We visited him again later that night. He gave me a huge hug. He just wraps his arms around you very tight! He is quiet, but sat next to me and loves to spend time with you. Today, when we arrived and gave the kids cookies, he was so happy. We have a video where he sets down what he has in one hand just to say hello to the camera. He is full of smiles. When we left, I went up to him and he put the world's hugest smile on his face and put his arms out in a straight "t", armed and ready for a tight hug! An absolute treasure is the best way to describe him He is more than that. He loves to play soccer. He runs and plays and laughs. He will be a huge blessing to a family! Also very gentle!

Girl, born late 2002
Slight mental delay, simple astigmatism
From a family who met her in 2014:
This young lady is very sweet! She is in school and just finished the 3rd level. Betsy likes to color, read, run, swing on the playground, and dance. When we were able to talk to her she seemed slightly shy but very calm and gentle. Betsy is articulate and seems only slightly delayed. She and my daughter hugged and cried when they had to say good-bye. Betsy really wants to come to America. She would be a wonderful addition to any family!
I would love to share more with seriously interested families.
Boy, born early 2004
Slight mental delay, astigmatism, mitral valve prolapse of I stage
From a family who met him in 2014:
This boy is an absolute treasure! He is kind-hearted and thoughtful of others. Brock enjoys dancing in school productions, doing school work on the computer, shooting hoops, playing soccer, reading books, painting and cutting out art projects, and sliding down slides. He is one of my daughter's really good friends. They hugged and cried when my daughter left the orphanage. Brock desperately needs a family to rescue him and give him a joyful life full of love.
I would love to share more with seriously interested families.

Boy, born mid-2009

Girl, born July 1999
Down syndrome
Clarice's pictures are so fun to see – she seems to be all sunshine and motion! She has such an amazing grin!
Clarice is so tiny; and she has many facial features of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, in addition to her Down syndrome.
She has the personality of an impetuous toddler- very high energy and eager to try everything life has to offer. She too needs a family, and the sooner the better. The possibilities for a child to thrive when they reach a family are endless. She will definitely need medical attention, as you can tell from just seeing her teeth, and lots of patient instruction and guidance.
Update from May 2014:
CClarice has a sunshine smile, twinkling eyes, and a unique set of needs, as she is the victim of at least one confirmed type of maternal substance abuse in addition to having Down Syndrome and scoliosis. She has spent the entirety of her almost-15 years of her life without the essential and nurturing maternal and paternal bond. She is a sweet-natured, not loud, strong, and curious child who is the size of a slender six year-old. She is cognitively about two years old. She IS able to obey the stern orphanage nannies, and enjoys massage, stroller rides, sensory activities if she is offered, joint stimulation, and can walk. Clarice can engage in purposeful play and follow basic instructions. She bear-crawls (think Jungle Book) many times, and really has a gentle disposition. Her eyes are innocent and kind, and her personality is gentle and sweet. It is not fair to expect a child in this condition to "perform" for a room full of adults, and she is enamored and thankful with any offers of play or stimulation. She has a self-stimming habit of pushing on her private parts under her underpants, but as I have learned in the DS community, this is probably a result of a lack of sensory input. So, if given the right redirection through sensory play, her habit could be redirected. Clarice has the strength of a man when she wants you to hold her, and it is my opinion that it is unsuitable for her to have several physically smaller siblings. However, that is not legislated. There are several telling videos and photos of Clarice to share for the right family. She needs a family ASAP! I was told by a national regarding the kind of place she goes next — that "most children live for only one year at most once transferred." Please pray for precious Clarice. Could you love her as a daughter? God knows her name, and he will provide her needs.

Aura Lee
Girl, born July 2009
Microcephaly, spastic tetraparesis
Oh, isn't she lovely?
Aura Lee is doing very well. She knows her nannies, smiles at familiar adults. She can sit down and stand up with help. She does not have mental delays.
Aura Lee has features consistent with FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). This is not a diagnosis, but a cautionary disclosure.
Aura has developing speech — she can make separate sounds, and will repeat after an adult.
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!

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.
George and Martha
Boy, born May 2010
Delay of psychological and speech development, used to have heart defect (oval window that closed), hemangioma, chest deformation.
George can fulfill simple instructions, does not walk very well, has been in the orphanage for 1.5 years.

Severe mental delays
Martha does not react to her name, does not know colors, does not play with toys. can feed herself, but is not adequate. She would eat banana with skin and candy with cover. She is not potty trained. Her speech is almost not developed.
There is a history of prior neglect; George has better development because he lived in the family less time than Martha, before they were removed.

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.

Hydrocephalus, mental delay
From a family who met him in January 2014:
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.

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.
Boy, born October 2011
Cerebral palsy, spastic tetraplegia, optic nerves atrophy
Boy, born January 2000
Secondary cardiomyopathy
Eben is a communicative, friendly boy. He studies well at school, and is interested in computer sciences.

congential defects of development
From a family who met her in January 2014:
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!

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.
Additional pictures available.
Sweet girl doesn't have a great picture, but you can still see how lovely she looks. She seems so serious – would love to see her smiling, with her new family!

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
slight mental delay, flat feet, convergent squint, vision impairment
Krista will be available in Feb. 2014
Boy, born March 2005
Cerebral palsy, lower spastic paraparesis, delay of mental development of the child with organic lesion of the central nervous system, bilateral uranostaphyloschisis after plastic surgery, subatrophy of both eyes' optic nerves, shortsightedness of both eyes, horizontal nystagmus, flat feet
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.
Kelvin Philip
Boy, born January 2007
Down syndrome
Handsome Kelvin is 7 years old, and waiting for his family!
From a family who met him in June 2014:
This calm little guy came up to me with pleading eyes for attention and is just so polite. God has heard his prayers, and now he is listed for adoption! He is not overbearing or competitive at all. Rather, he is observant and inquisitive. He is about the size of a six year-old and just so gentle. I would take him home in a heartbeat if he was available before. He takes turns riding the red wagon around the orphanage grounds as the bigger boys pull him, and he gestures politely for fresh fruit when he sees it is available. He is kind to other children. He says a few words in his native language, and listened carefully when I was giving descriptions of my family photos. I have confidence that he would do wonderfully in any kind of family, and it is obvious– he can surely reciprocate love! He enjoyed throwing balls, going on walks, playing see-saw, and listening to English descriptions. Whoever adopts this little love will be so blessed to call him a beloved son.
Girl, born August 2007
CP dystonic-dyskinetic type, rough delay of static and locomotor activity, mental delay, umbilical hernia, congenital cataract, crossed eyes
Sweet Chantelle has a list of diagnoses, but her main need is a loving family! A family could help her reach her potential and save her from a life in a crib.
From a family who met her in fall 2013:
Chantelle is mostly kept in a laying room although I did seen her out in the main groupa room laying down in a gated play area. I believe she can roll around. I saw her holding things in her hands as well. She has a calm, sweet spirit and I had her smiling in the first minute of seeing her. I touched her precious little face and told her I loved her and she smiled. The other kids seem to love her and they liked going into the laying room to take pictures of her with me. Chantelle so needs a family now! She won't be kept at the baby house much longer. She is soooo beautiful, the pictures really don't do her justice.
Gina (Missy)
Girl, born September 2008
Cerebral palsy
Gina has a sunshiney smile!
More pictures available, but she is seated in this chair in all the pictures we have.
From a family who met her in August 2013:
Precious Gina is so willowy and gentle. She is being loved and cared for in her baby house. She is soon to be transferred, though. Her groupa goes outside twice daily on nice days and she sits in a stroller staring at the leaves and feeling the breeze. When touched and cuddled, she moves her head toward you. Her skin is soft, and her hands are so gentle. She blinks with delicate eyelashes and seems to be trying to clear the fog to see you. I got to see her several times and each time her face lit up with a smile and she moved her chest side to side rhythmically to acknowledge her joy at being noticed. She is so full of life, and needs more therapy to help her reach her full potential. Gina deserves so much more than what she has been given. If only her mom and dad could look into her eyes and see how much life is behind them. She is a treasure, and is in desperate need of a family as she approaches the age of transfer. The institution she is headed for will not offer her anywhere near what she has now. Please see Gina before she is lost forever.
Gina received massage therapy regularly, is in diapers, and could use some dental care. She is very thin, but is being offered excellent nutrition. She is in a region that we felt comfortable having just mom stay for much of the travel. More pictures and a video available.
From a family who met her in early 2014:
I did get to see her several times while the door was open to the groupa's play room. She is so very skinny now. When she was left in her crib she was usually crying and trying to roll over. One day there was a sweet nanny holding her and singing to her. She had the biggest beautiful smile and was loving being rocked and sung to! Her hair looked like it had grown out some. She had really beautiful, sweet curls.
Gina is now available for international adoption as she recently turned 5.
Girl, born February 2011
Cerebral palsy, microcephaly, pseudobulbar syndrome, focal symptomatic epilepsy
Mildred is so young — she could really thrive with the love and care of a family!
Boy, born August 1999
HIV, mental delays, nonverbal, possible autism
From a missionary who met him in 2013:
Garion is a very active boy. He is one of the few children in the institution who seeks out ways to occupy his time. He loves to be outside and is often found climbing trees or playing in the dirt pile. He likes to carry a bucket around and fill it with the odds and ends he finds. He needs more stimulation then he gets in the institution. Garion does not talk, but he smiles at anyone who smiles and waves at him. He responds to his name. He is wary of strangers, but I was able to gain his trust. He does not like to be touched but eventually allowed me to kiss his hand.
One evening I spent an hour with him, throwing back and forth a ball made out of a pair of rolled-up tights. I would recommend Garion for a family that does not have young children. I really loved this boy and felt like he needed someone to work with him to bring him out of his shell.
Physically Garion seems fine. He is the right size and build for a kid his age. He is not small or too thin or anything.
I really, really loved this boy. Emotions pass over his face so plainly, and he looks scared a lot of the time. I think that the world doesn't make much sense to Garion. I had to work really hard to gain his trust, but I see so much potential in him.
Simeon is a beautiful Roma child with dark hair and big brown eyes. He is significantly delayed, and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. We are trying to get more information on his social history. Simeon is a fraternal twin, whose sister has already been adopted.
Simeon has an older sister who is available for adoption, and in the same orphanage. We hope to have more information on her soon.
Simeon is described as mostly non-verbal, and is not able to walk on his own. There just seems to be so much potential for him in a family environment. He is already an outcast because of his darker skin and will be left institutionalized – and likely bedridden — if not adopted.
From a family who visited with him in 2011: Simeon is barely responsive to stimuli, but I believe that could change if he received regular, loving attention. I didn't observe any of the orphanage workers spending much time interacting with him. There were times that I was able to get him to smile and grip my hand. After a few days, he was even able to clap! But most of the time he is staring off in any direction and seems completely unable to control most of his movements. He was always either lying down or propped up in a sitting position. I never heard him speak. I also never heard him cry or fuss. Overall, a very calm child.
Married couples only, larger families and older parents welcome.
Boy, born January 2001
mental delays, spastic tetraparesis, convulsive disorder
Sweet Denzel! He is tube fed through his nose, and often swaddled to prevent him from removing the tube. He 'lights up' and smiles widely when presented with musical toys — a greatly welcome distraction from his days spent staring at the ceiling. There is so much a family could provide for him!
From someone who met Nash in 2012: Nash is a wonderful little boy. He is always quick to excitedly greet visitors with happy squeals and a formal hello, and is quite insistent visitors take a seat in the chair he brings over to them He is very helpful and obedient, and will sometimes bring toys over to the smaller kids in his group who cannot get toys for themselves. He is very talkative, but a lot of what he says is sort of like "Nash"-ese. He has no problem getting his point across, however, if it is important to him that you understand him! He likes to play with just about any toy; balls, legos, cars, light up toys, you name it he will play with it. He enjoys being silly and laughing, and especially thrives with one on one attention. He is generally a happy little guy, but does not like messes or rule breaking, and is not afraid to tell the other children "No" or try to right their wrongs if they are misbehaving. He very much aims to please! I feel Nash would adjust easily to and thrive in a family!
From a family who met him in Dec 2013: He seemed to be rocking more persistently. I noticed when music was being played or when we would actively engage him play he would rock nervously. However, he is a wonderfully sweet spirited child and is eager to please. He would always great us with a formal, "hello" and then lead us to take a seat. He never missed an opprotunity to rush out of the groupa and jump in our laps or include himself in whatever game we were playing with our boys. He so desperately wants to be loved. He called me, "Mama" and it broke my heart…how I wish I could have taken this precious boy as well. There were many days that we noticed him strapped to a chair or straight jacketed; I am not sure why because I never saw any self injurious behavior from him. He is very impulsive and easily excited but his joy simply radiates a room. He desperately deserves to be loved, valued and wanted….he only aims to please. The first thought that came to mind upon meeting him was, "He does NOT belong here"….he is so smart…though his speech is often slurred; but only slightly. He seems to be minorly effected by his hydrocephaly and gets along very well. His poor little hands do shake though; probably as a result of the pressure on his brain. I am unsure if he has been shunted or not; I felt around his head one day and did not feel the bump that would indicate he has. If he has not been shunted then that makes his case even more urgent. He desperately needs out! This boy has ALL the potential in the world…he just needs the right parents to break him free! I also have a video with him in it, if a family is interested.
Girl, born July 2007
Freeman Sheldon syndrome, both legs clubfoot (condition after surgery in 2011), developmental delays
From a family who met her, April 2014:
She seems gentle and quiet. Probably the oldest in her groupa. She plays appropriately although it seems she is a little on the outside of the other kids play sometimes, probably because she walks a little awkwardly from her feet being turned inwards. I personally would be surprised if she is actually mentally delayed. She walks well, just probably slower and I've not seen her try to run. I think she would be a real sweetheart.
Girl, born July 2008

Girl, born Dec 2008
Hydrocephalus, Severe mental delays
She is a very sweet and kind girl and extremely needs a family. She will be 5 this December, so any new family may commit to her and start preparing a dossier.
She has siblings, but none are available for adoption; 2 older sisters live with birth mother and 1 younger sister has been adopted.
From a family who met her in summer 2013:
She was in my kids' groupa. She is the sweetest little thing and needs out of there ASAP!!! She has the most noble quiet nature about her. She is mentally delayed but has so much potential. She was one of the least favored children in the orphanage and she is desperate for love. On one occasion she wandered over to the play shelter where we were playing and was trying to eat our daughter's cookie. We didn't have any extra (we brought treats for the groupa every three days or so) so my husband just picked her up to distract her and as soon as he did, she threw her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder just soaking in the attention. I can't bear the thought of her being transferred! She already has it bad enough.
Boy, born May 2009
hydrocephaly, epysyndrom, spastic tetraparesis, congenital defect of brain development
Wylie has a handsome boy who is facing transfer soon.

Hunter, Forest and Ridge
Brothers – they need to be adopted together! They are said to be "very good boys"!
Hunter, The oldest, was born in March 2004
Hyperkinetic disorders/Hyperkinetic conduct disorder; Nonorganic sleep disorder/Emotional sleep disorder; Benign intracranial hypertension; Other specified diseases of gallbladder; Flat foot
Hunter likes to eat a lot. He and his brother
Forest have a lot of energy. He really likes to do arts and crafts and play games. Most of the time he has a very sweet disposition. He is very keen to interact with adults. That being said if an adult is too rough with him things will start to escalate. If an adult tries to swat at him or restrain him in someway he may attempt to bite. Hunter can speak pretty well but he can't always communicate what's going on with his emotions. Hunter responds best to strong male figures. An attentive dad is key to a positive adoption for him. He is in grade 4 here but he can't read, write, do math, or anything like that right now. He is schooled by himself and school mostly consists of arts and crafts. He is not unintelligent but very delayed. He likes soccer. He would be great in an attentive family where he and his brothers will get much attention and where they will be by far the youngest children. I would adopt him myself if I could be as focused on him and his brothers as he needs a dad and mom to be and if we had the space for them along with our current 3. He enjoys picking fruit and cleaning in the orphanage. He is never been far from the orphanage and he is interested in coming to America. He has communicated that he really wants to come to America and really wants a papa.
Forest, the middle boy, was born in Aug 2006
Mild mental delays; speech disorder
Forest likes to eat a lot. He does school the same way his brother Hunter does. He is considered to be in the second grade. Very sweet but also very active. Like his older brother, he needs to need a lot of attention to keep him from unintended harm. He likes to be outside. He has minor institutional self harming tendencies like scratching himself to leave marks. He does not do that a lot though. Forest loves to give hugs and kisses and hold hands with the adults.
Ridge, the youngest brother was born in Aug 2008
Stenosis of pulmonary artery; currently he does not require surgery. Tuberculin skin test – positive?
Ridge likes to clean. He was mopping the floor with an adult sized mop as I wrote this. He is a very small but sweet boy. He's a very peaceful and charming child. He is not in school yet but he seems to be the most intellectual of his brothers. He will likely do better in school then his brothers when he gets the chance. He is so cute it is hard to imagine him spending another day without a family. When the boys orphanage shuts down Ridge will be separated from his brothers for several months because he is not old enough to go with his older brothers. I expect this will be a very traumatic time for him, so if a family could come for him as soon as possible that would be best. No family should hesitate to adopt these children as long as they are available to give the time and attention that these children deserve. If that is done the children will flourish.
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!
Boy, born June 2004

Rhyder is a very nice boy! He has had several operations, and currently wears diapers. He has "Absolutely normal mental development."
Boy, born November 2002
From a family who met him, May 2014:
Raul is a very engaging young man. He is full of smiles and really likes learning English. He has a few words and some sentences already his belt. He will try to have a conversation with you and will repeat what you say in an effort to understand you. He prefers to be in the presence of adults verse many of his peers. He is very professional in a business-like manner when he speaks with you and how he dresses. You will often find him in his school uniform. He loves to carry around his green brief case with a frog on it. He is ready to make a deal. 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!

crossed eyes, ptosis (droopy eyelid), both sides inguinal testis, delay of psychological and speech development.
From a family who met him, summer 2014:
He is very small but he does not let it stop him. He can run and climb and say names. He played very well with other children. I never witness him being aggressive to other children. Every time we came to visit he would run up and put his arms up to be held. I would stroke his check and say his name then he was off to the races. He would make an awesome son! The orphanage is so nice. The playground facility was top notch and the nannies were so nice. We were able to interact with all of the children in our daughter's group which I found to be a huge plus. We got to see first hand how he played and got along with other children

He was born at 24 weeks. He can't speak but can understand everything. Ulysses is unable to walk but is trying to stand up. Will pull up to his knees.
Large families and older parents welcome.
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.

She is so cute!
Boy, born November 1999
HIV, astigmatism
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.
Girl, born December 1999
Cerebral palsy, deep mental handicap
Bedridden and quiet, so heartbreakingly alone.
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.

ING Receives Top Score on 2011 Corporate Equality Index
ING, for the fifth consecutive year, has received a perfect score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2011 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a survey that assesses American workplaces on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality.
"ING is honored to receive this recognition for the fifth year in a row," said Rob Leary, chief executive officer, ING Insurance U.S. "Participating in the survey allows us to annually review our LGBT workplace policies and practices, ensuring we continue to improve how we maintain an inclusive environment for our employees. It also provides us with an opportunity to benchmark our efforts against other leading companies."
A total of 615 companies were rated in the 2011 CEI on a scale from zero to 100%, including the entire Fortune 500 with 338 businesses achieving the top rating of 100% — an 11% increase over last year.
"Banking and financial services companies were among the top five industries for employers that scored 100%," added Rhonda Mims, president of the ING Foundation and senior vice president of ING's Office of Corporate Responsibility and Multicultural Affairs. "Our LGBT employee resource group has taken the lead in helping us build an inclusive work environment and gaining a better understanding of the LGBT community — all in an effort to ensure equality and fairness internally for our employees and externally in the communities we serve."

Volleyball Escapes with 3-2 Victory in Home Opener
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University volleyball team came into Friday night's home opener with a perfect 4-0 record in A-Sun play. After battling visiting Belmont through five hard-fought sets for two hours and fifteen minutes, the Eagles barely hung on for a 3-2 victory, extending the Eagles undefeated conference start to five matches.
Belmont got off to a blistering start, hitting .583 in the opening set, recording 15 kills against just one error on 24 attacks. Despite Belmont's effective hitting, the Eagles actually held a lead for a majority of the set, leading 19-18 before the Bruins rattled off seven consecutive points to win the first set 25-19.
The Eagles led throughout in the second set, but unlike set one, FGCU was able to close out the second set, 25-20. Belmont's hitting percentage dropped to .146 in the second set, while the Eagles improved to a .342 percentage for the set.
The third set was much closer than the first two, with twelve tie scores and six lead changes. With the Bruins leading 14-13, the Eagles went on a 7-1 run to take a 20-15 lead. A kill by Jacqueline Cowden (Danville, Calif.) gave FGCU a 25-20 win in set three.
Holding a 2-1 set lead, FGCU came out in the third set and immediately dug themselves a deep hole, trailing 17-9 at one point. But after head coach Dave Nichols called timeout, the Eagles won the next five points to trim the lead to 17-14. A few points later Jelena Simic (Lazarevac, Serbia) blasted a kill to put the Eagles in front for the first time all set, 19-18. But the Bruins would not go away quietly, winning three consecutive points to tie the match at 23 apiece. A kill by Ashley Yance (Fort Myers, Fla.) gave the Eagles match point at 24-23, but Belmont again rattled off three straight points, winning the fourth set, 26-24, and extending the match to a fifth set.
In the fifth and deciding set, FGCU came out strong and didn't let up. A kill by Chandra Lefever (Fort Morgan, Col.) put the Eagles up 7-4, and a block by Yance and Anna Wagner (Lincoln, Neb.) extended the lead to 10-6. FGCU eventually closed out the match with a kill from Emma Racila (Fort Myers, Fla.), taking the fifth set, 15-10.
For the Bruins (4-8, 2-2), Maggie Johnson led the way with 15 kills and a pair of service aces. Carly Frazier also reached double-digits in kills with 12, to go along with six digs. Channing Salava registered 40 assists as well as picking up seven kills and four blocks. Defensively, Megan Clements led Belmont with 20 digs and Jenny Gray added 14 digs in addition to recording nine kills.
For the Eagles (6-5, 5-0), Anna Wagner led the offense with 17 kills and added 10 digs. Jelena Simic chipped in with 16 kills and 10 digs. Jacqueline Cowden also registered double-digit kills with 11. Chandra Lefever record 44 assists along with eight digs. Defensively, Holly Youngquist led FGCU with 17 digs.
The Eagles will be back in action on their home floor tomorrow evening as they play host to Lipscomb. The match is scheduled for a 7 PM start.

I have been on Junel for a year now, and I have nothing but good to say about it! My periods are light (I have NO cramps, bloating, headaches, etc) & I do not experience any side effects from the pill. It is very effective as well. This is the first birth control I have tried, and I LOVE it!

I was put on Junel for ovarian cysts and pain during my period and since starting Junel, I haven't had any problems with my ovaries and the pain has gone down a lot. I've been on Junel for over a year and haven't had any problems with it. I haven't had any painful cysts re-occur or irregularity with periods. I haven't had any problems with weight gain or acne either.

A Personal Example
Eleventh Grade. American History and American Literature. In American History, we were studying the time period right before the Civil War. At the same time, my American Literature teacher had us read Huckleberry Finn. Neither teacher told us what they were doing. They did not combine any of their assignments. They never even mentioned each others' classes. But that did not matter! The work in one class fed off of the work in another. Suddenly, it became obvious how intertwined history and literature are. Think what could have happened if they had combined lessons!
Integration Throughout the Curriculum
Cross connections are so important to the student's learning experience, and these connections can be found throughout the curriculum. Some courses, like American History and American Literature, seem like a perfect fit. However, many of the courses which seem to have no connection can also be integrated combining curriculum that is traditionally taught. Following are some great ideas and examples from teachers who have found that integration truly works.
- Government and Statistics: Polling Methods
- World History and Geometry: Greeks
- Literature and Geometry: Flatland
- Chemistry and Algebra: Balancing Equations
- Mathematics and Art/Architecture: Design of Cathedrals
- Economics and Calculus: Law of Diminishing Utility
- World History and Astronomy: Astrolabe
- English and Government: Logical Fallacies and Politics
- Psychology and Geography: Urban Planning
- Art and History: Numerous examples, especially biblical history
- Literature and History/Government: Invisible Man
- Biology and Statistics: Genetics
- Math and Geography: 2010 Census
Final Thoughts
Hopefully, this has gotten you thinking about ways that you might integrate. There is a great method to integrating numerous courses. However, many school districts can not or will not pay for the extra planning time required. Simply put, you get together with your fellow teacher(s) and discuss all of the major topics that you teach. Then you find the connections between your classes and try to correlate the times that you will be covering this material so they coincide. One important word of caution: make your integration authentic. Students can tell when you are trying to stretch the curriculum, and it will not have the desired impact.

A winter shelter opened to its full capacity on Wednesday in
Officials say everyone is welcome at the Prince of Peace Lutheran
Church, located at 1528 Race Street, and the shelter is open every night from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m.
"You can come in out of the bad weather
and have a warm, safe place to stay until the weather gets better," said Fanni Johnson, with the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless.
"When it's really cold you can really get into some serious trouble
because if the weather is bad enough you could freeze."
Coalition statistics say approximately 30 homeless people die every
year in Cincinnati, as a direct result of exposure to the elements.
"Every year you hope you
won't see the same people. You hope that the need won't be as great. But so
far, that has not happened," said Johnson.
870 homeless individuals and families needed the emergency shelter in
Cincinnati last winter.
Prior to 2011, a warm shelter was only opened if the
temperature dropped below 10 degrees. Now, with the help of donations, the
shelter can stay open every night through February 2013.

DALLAS – Police officers shot and killed a suspect in an Oak Cliff apartment complex Friday morning, said Deputy Chief Gil Garza.
Investigators with the Crime Response Team were driving in the parking lot at 4500 W. Kiest Blvd. when they spotted a suspicious vehicle and stopped it. The apartment complex is known for drug activity, Garza said.
The officers approached the vehicle and "a struggle ensued." Fearing for his life, one officer shot a suspect, Lenny Ellis, 30, while the other fled, Garza said.
"He didn't go very far," Garza said. "It wasn't much of a search, he was nearby."
The Crime Response Team is a specialized division of the department that investigates drug and criminal complaints in the southwest portion of the city.
The other suspect hasn't been identified and Garza did not elaborate on why the vehicle was suspicious or why police approached it. Police said they found drugs in the car.

Within walking distance you will find shopping, restaurants, fishing, boating, movies, bars, and medical facilities. No need to drive. If you want for more excitement and people, hop the trolley for a short ride up Estero Blvd to Times Square where you will find more restaurants, bars, and shopping opportunities.
