MADE IN U.S.A quality
krazy4x4s Posted:
the perfect kit for your 14" apes. makes for very easy installation has all cabels, brake lines and a pretty simple plug and play wire extension
DADDYBRET Posted:
I am not going to give this much, cause the brake line does not work. The heads on the ends were narrower than the OEM and for some reason it would not bleed out. Bought one from HD and worked fine. The other cables work good.
adamtrammell Posted:
Don't buy these without a service manual, the instructions that come with the kit only tell you to do it as per the manual. Everything works great and looks awesome in all black.
npcdusty Posted:
Cables are great! Perfect fit for the 14in bars I ordered. Had a bit of trouble with the wiring but just took time to make sure it was all right.
Matthew88 Posted:
looks great
north ferry choppers Posted:
great fit
firstname.lastname@example.com Posted:
My fault didn't measure as well as I should but seem to run a little long for a 14 inch ape
zjeudevine Posted:
I was sceptacle about this kit after reading several online reviews but after installing these on my sportster I have no complaints. Very happy.
TShaheen Posted:
Worked exactly as described.
Hoff706 Posted:
I bought this kit for my 2002 soft tail springer. This cable kit is great. Not only dose it come with everything you need ( cables- brake line & wires) it was also very easy to install. It took me a few hours one afternoon to install my 14" handle bars and this cable kit. By late afternoon I was back on the road. I would highly recamend this kit to anyone who is installing taller handle bars

wcn43p Posted:
Overall it's a nice kit works great very happy
bhogg1 Posted:
Very easy kit to install.
Moita Posted:
Fitted exactly on my bike! but I recommend that get this done by a professional mechanic. I tried to change the cables myself and it requires a good knowledge of mechanics. Now I just enjoy the bike with the new 14" Ape Hanger.
derekkanngiesser Posted:
value for money
joepeditto Posted:
it worked great,
jay.briers Posted:
Good product
Drastic55 Posted:
Ordered and shipped super fast as per norm. Everything in the box as advertised took little time to install!
mikeg1227 Posted:
Easy set up, and got my order in quickly
H3llb1lly Posted:
I cant say enough good about this kit. Buying this kit for the wiring alone is worth every penny. I cant wait to get the cables and lines installed on my FXST.
dmicah44 Posted:
i got this for my 2007 night train and its an awesome kit, even for the money. made the job so much easier and looks great, cables were all just the right length and fit, my only gripe would be the directions that come with it are not the best, but my harley manual helped make things really easy and fast. good product would highly recommend this kit.
fxrflyer Posted:
This kit doesn't contain the correct brake line for the 2008 FXDF which has a dual disc front brake. Unfortunately for me, I idscovered this mistake after I started the install.
anthony_schu Posted:
As ordered, fast shipping, look great on my bike... Makes the finishing touch.
Johnny_Spewtrid Posted:
They work, what's not to love?
mhogarth Posted:
This kit has everything you need for installation. The rubber sleeves that cover the cable adjusters are a big plus. Highly recommended.
johnl2140 Posted:
excellant product and easy to use!
bretnorton777 Posted:
Worked just like it said, except for the wiring extensions. There is not enough to properly stagger the connections. Your better off using new wire from connector to connector.
Foreverkillingtime Posted:
kit works great. I was hoping it inclused the right wires to extend my internal wiring and was not a problem.

Date of Birth: 04/14/10
Gender: Male
Brendan is an adorable little boy. He was born prematurely with a generalized systemic immaturity.

Due to prolonged incubation, he currently has vocal chord paralysis. He has delays in his gross and fine motor skills according to his age; however, he is able to search with his eyes for visual and aural stimuli, can open and look at his hands, and is able to hold objects in his hands. He is usually active, awake and aware of his surroundings, and with therapy will be able to continue to develop gross and fine motor skills.
This sweet boy deserves a loving family who can provide him with care and support as he continues to grow and progress.
- Single parents may adopt
- No family size restrictions
- Both parents must travel to the country and stay until completion of adoption — approx 5-7 weeks (one parent may leave after a week or two)
- Estimated total cost $21,000-24,500

January 2010
microcephaly, Epilepsy, dystonic tetraparesis, brain degeneration
Kayson needs a family, to save him from a life in a crib.
Boy, born January 2010
PRC Blind
Three year old Jesse is a beautiful little boy who resides a specialized foster care home for blind and visually impaired children. It is small home with only five children and the carers are specially trained to work with blind children. He is being taught life skills and self-care that will help him prepare for adoption and eventually independent living.
While this is a great opportunity, life has not been so fortunate for Jesse. He was abandoned at the gates of his orphanage when he was 9 months old. His blindness was caused by an untreated eye infection, and he was so ill he was sent to a palliative care home to die. He arrived a very sick and frightened little boy but was nursed back to health and given the opportunity to gain confidence and trust others around him. He is currently healthy with no further medical problems but is delayed in some areas of his development such as walking and feeding himself.
Jesse is now a happy child, interested and aware in all that is around him. In the absence of sight, he uses other senses to explore the world. He is quite timid in nature but likes to be around other children and his carers. He is sometimes uncertain when trying new things but enjoys praise and attention, so this motivates him to keep going. He would be a wonderful son with a great future but just needs his family to find him.
Some recent updates on Jesse, speech is making an appearance and Jesse is saying bye,bye and waving when his carers leave. He is eating a good variety of food now and sleeping much better than when he arrived at the foster home. Jesse communicates what he wants and doesn't want by nodding and shaking his head. He can move himself around the room and onto furniture to get to a comfortable spot for a nap! He has been practicing with his walker and has started with physical and occupational therapy to take his walking from aided to independent.
Videos available for inquiring families.
Garrison #
Boy, born 2010
When taken by the 2 hands, Garrison stands up and has the support of his feet. When he is put on a children's stool, he sits on it during a meal. He actively moves his hands and legs, kicks and rolls over in bed. He rolls over in free space and turns handsprings.
Garrison is blind. He does not manipulate objects, plays with his hands-hits them against each other, slaps and puts them into his mouth; joins the hands of an adult person. He reacts to a noise and a sound, even to the slightest of them; he listens attentively and grows quiet when he hears music.
He has improved emotional tone-calmly and activelystays awake, smiles and laughs in a loud voice even touched. He recognizes familiar voices, becomes animated and utters sounds. He accepts touch and gets in touch. He tolerates more and more social situations-having a bath, eating and dressing. He utters syllables – da-da; ba-ba; shouts in a loud voice, uses his voice and utters guttural sounds.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, he will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for him.
Boy, born 2010
Cerebral dysplasia
Toby is an adorable little boy who is 2 years old. He came into care as an infant. Toby is developing on target, with no delays when compared to his peers. Toby is a very out-going and active little guy, who has no fear of strangers. At this point, he considers everyone to be a potential playmate!
Toby had a heart scan, which showed no problems. He had a CT scan of his brain, which showed the left hemisphere was reduced, and there was evidence of a past brain injury (prenatal or during birth). Toby does not have seizures, does not show any developmental delays, and is happy and healthy (other than usual childhood illnesses). The brain of a child is wonderful that way…it can compensate for many issues it may have! He loves to play, and is a very active little boy who is "full of curiosity", according to the nannies! His favorite toys are balls…soccer, baseball, tennis…which will he choose? Toby is a wonderful little boy, who will be such a joy to have in your family!
Boy, born September 2010
Infantile cerebral paralysis, binominal hemiplegia; Internal hydrocephaly; Dysplasia of coxa (hips)
Such a little sweetie … look at those delicate fingers and big dark eyes!
He has possible features of FAS. This is not a diagnosis, but a cautionary disclosure.
Boy, born May 2011
anophthalmia, developmental delays
Alec is a beautiful darling little boy.
Alec was born with one missing eye, a condition typically corrected with a prosthetic eye. He has good vision in his one eye and does not appear to have hearing loss. Alec has developmental delays that may be due to brain damage or brain malformation, in addition to lack of stimulation in his first year of life. Alec was in the care of An Orphan's Wish for over a year and then was transferred to Little Flower. In the care of these loving organizations he has made some progress in his physical strength and development, but he is still severely delayed. Alec can sit up and can make eye contact, but he is not interested in toys. Alec loves being held and responds to tickles and cuddles. He currently does not attempt to communicate verbally but he laughs and coos. Alec also has feeding issues. Alec needs the unconditional love of a family devoted to give him access to all the therapies and early intervention services that he needs to reach his full potential. These services are not available for him in China. He needs to come home to a family who will see the value of this little boy and shower him with the love that he deserves.
For more information, photos, or questions about Alec, please contact Nathalie.
Boy, born January 2010
Cerebral Palsy
Meet 4 year old, Lars! He is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Remember…CP is not degenerative- it does not get worse and therapy can be very helpful! Lars began rehabilitation treatment at the age of 9 months. At age 3, he was able to stand alone and walk without help, though his left heel did not touch the ground and his left upper limb is affected as well. He recently started preschool in the center and his self-awareness has increased. He can hold a spoon to eat, can wave goodbye to people, and recognizes familiar people and objects. Lars' language ability was poor, so he started speech training to practice his pronunciation. Now he has good comprehension, can speak simple words, but he cannot talk clearly. His expressive language is not very good and he has difficulty with fine motor skills. Lars is outgoing and has a ready smile. He likes familiar people and enjoys cuddling. He likes soft music and enjoys the music lessons at school. Lars likes taking walks outside and playing with balls on the playground.
Boy, born May 2011
Cerebral Atrophy of bilateral frontal lobes (but normal development)
Lew does not speak much yet. He can make "Yiyi-yaya" sounds and point to the objects he wants. He can express himself with other ways. For example, if someone took his ball, he will make "yiyi-yaya" sound to caregivers and pointed to the ball and ask the caregivers to get it back. When you get it back for him, he will laugh to you He can stand up without any help, he can walk alone (al little waddled) and walk hand in hand with other kids. He can pick up a very small object from the ground. He can hold a ball and raise it up and throw it out, then pick it up and repeat.He is a little bit shy and can be very cautious with strangers. He is very open and happen when he is with caregivers and kids he is familiar with.
There is a video available of Lew: http://youtu.be/N6L8vMOvv78
Boy, born June 2012

Boy, born June 2009
Complicated CHD, left hearing test is failed to pass, HBcAb: Positive; mild abnormal intellectual development
According to the last up date on Jake from the home he is living in: "We arrange gentle indoor light for all children as well as quiet indoor environment. We help him do the body exercises in the morning and afternoon respectively in order to strength his body and facilitate his development. We also show him bright colors and train him to grasp building blocks. The caregivers often teach him pronounce words and he could make ah-ah, ya-ya sound. We also sing songs for him. He is given some gentle and lovely music in order to training the auditory sense. He is trained swimming once per week before one half year old in order to strength his body. Since he is in the process of development and growth, and receives balanced nutrition, moderate exercises everyday as well as has large and bright living condition and good life quality, therefore, he has normal physical development." An update has been requested as his file is old.
Boy, born March 2012
Congenital developmental deformity of right lower limb and spina bifida.
Adam was born in March 2012. One report states that he cannot stand while another states that he can stand steadily. Interestingly, his file says that he likes crawling and when his caregiver is not looking, he will crawl away.He must have lower limb mobility (update requested which will hopefully give some clarity on this!) He enjoys going places with people, listening to music and playing hide-and-seek. They also state that he is timid and shy and fairly introverted.
Boy, born April 2010
Underwent heart surgery, heart rate currently valid.
Cognitive development significantly below the level for the age.
Psychomotor development of the child is globally delayed, however, in a relatively short time, has made great progress. He needs multi-specialty care.
The agency can request further information for serious inquiries. We are so excited to be able to advocate for these children!
Boy, born December 2009
Diagnosis: after-effects of general disease of the central nervous system (neuroinfection); spastic tetraparesis with strong motor disorders; general mental delays, including speech underdevelopment; undescended testicles; shortcut frenulum of tongue; convergent squint
UPDATE DECEMBER 2014: "Abner is a happy little boy who does not speak but whose facial expressions are easy to read. Those expressions are generally of joy, especially when he is given love and attention. Occasionally I would see a different expression, one that would break my heart. At 5 years old Abner is spending a lot of time in a wheelchair, unable to participate in playing with the kids around him, and the look of "I want to play too!" on his face broke my heart. When he had the opportunity to participate in playtime he always looked very happy and proud of himself. This sweet little boy needs a family who will be able to help him to reach his full potential!"
From a volunteer who visited with him in July 2014: "Abner has been transferred from the baby orphanage to an institution. He looks fine for now, but I wasn't able to personally interact with him because of the nurses. He has quite a normal size for his age, compared to the other children in his group. I'm not sure if I was able at that moment to make a sane judgement call about that, but compared to the others he was doing quit well physically. I hope someone will take him home before he has to get worse. I've seen most of the children in that facility get worse through the years, so please, someone go get him!
Peyton was born in December 2009 and has been diagnosed with hypospadias, polydactyly of the right hand, syndactyly of the right foot, and cleft lip/palate (surgically corrected).
Little is known about Peyton's development at this time. He is said to have a congenital developmental defect and is significantly delayed. He can walk independently. At the time of our last update, Peyton could not yet speak and struggled to make eye contact. Peyton will need a family that can patiently and lovingly care for him and his complex needs.
Additional reports, photos and video available upon request from the agency.
Happy Callum was born in February of 2010 and has been diagnosed with "defect of urinary and reproductive organs, external auditory canal atresia of the right ear".
His caretakers state that he is a very sweet, smiley boy. He knows his caretakers and seems to respond to them. He is a little behind developmentally but they think he will catch up with assistance.
Update from January 2013: After visiting with Callum in January, our agency representative had the following update. Although Callum has some issues with one ear, he is still able to hear. He can walk, but does not speak. He can hear and understand simple tasks. Callum is a very reserved, calm and friendly boy. He likes to play by himself rather than with the other children. He is also very affectionate and likes when people love him and say good things to him. He likes to have his privacy and when he is playing with toys he does not like when somebody interrupts him. He has a good appetite, but has his favorite foods; if he does not like something he will refuse to eat it, as any typical toddler does! Additional photos and videos available upon request from the agency.
Update May 2013: After visiting with Callum in May, our agency representative had the following update. Recently, Callum was taken for a medical examination. The result showed that he does not have one kidney and the other is small. But he is feeling not bad. He still is not speaking or trying to speak. He understands and makes his caretakers understand what he wants with gestures and expressions. It appears that he can hear something, but probably not enough to speak yet. He is playful and friendly as usual, but he loves attention, and if you do not pay attention to him, he may start to cry and become very fussy. He wants visitors to play with him, and if you play with other child he may go to the corner, sit there by himself and feel upset.
Boy, born February 2012
Congenital hydrocephalus, spastic tetraplegia, epileptic syndrome, open oval window
Darren #430
Boy, born March 2010
Darren is very calm and smiling, but doesn't sit or walk – he only lays because his head is too heavy.
He is happy when he sees the members of the staff, recognizes familiar people from strangers. He feels good when being around other children and adults. 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.
He does not have a shunt, so his hydrocephalus remains untreated. His head circumference was 62cm in Feb 2013.
He is in a satisfactory general condition. The boy has positive emotional tone; he is calm and smiling. The child enjoys receiving attention and expresses positive emotions when someone plays with him or talks to him.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, he will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for him.
Boy, born September 2010
spina bifida (congenital malformation of the central nervous system, spina bifida of lower thoracic spine and upper lumbar spine)
lower paraplegia, pelvic organs dysfunction, hydrocephalus
So hard to see sweet Penn in this one little picture. He desperately needs a family to help him reach his full potential!
Boy, born April 2009
Cerebral palsy – Spastic diplegic cerebral palsy
Moderate mental delays; Divergent strabismus; Planovalgus (foot) deformity; malnutrition
Macarius speaks, plays toys and has a positive personality, smiles often. He is a very good boy!
Macarius doesn't walk, the boy needs a surgery and even with surgery there can be only hopes for his future ability to walk. The doctor in the orphanage says he has good prognoses for the future and his development.
Additional pictures available. Large families welcome, travel required.
Boy, born September 2010
Post op heart defect, Post-op Cleft lip, post op hernia, cleft palate
Phillip is an outgoing, active and independent 3.5 year old boy. He was born with a heart defect (had corrective surgery at 8 months), a hernia (repaired when he was 14 months) and a cleft lip and palate (his lip was repaired when he was 15 months). He is doing great now, with normal physical and intellectual development. Phillip loves to participate in all kinds of activities such as playing with toys, helping other children and sitting on his teacher's lap. He can go up and down the stairs and knows how to feed and dress himself. Phillip's fine motor skills are good but he needs to build up his strength in his arms and hands. Phillip can say many simple words and can recite simple poems and songs. He already knows how to count and can name many body part and foods! Isn't he the son you've been searching for?
Zeke (L)
Boy, born March 2009
has sibling (not available for adoption)
FAS; hypermetropia; nanism (dwarfism); suspicion of autism; mixed developmental delay
December 2014 UPDATE: Age 5 years: His height and head circumference are behind for his age. Zeke saw a neurologist who concluded that he has very small eye lids, his nose foundation is dented, and he has a thin upper lip. He can pay attention for short amounts of time. He has been evaluated in all aspects and is delayed physically and mentally. He struggles with fine motor skills and skills of independence. Control of waist/pelvis is not sufficient; is unstable when sitting. His emotions are inadequate. His cognitive processing is limited. He is developmentally delayed in all aspects.
Zeke can sit and crawl. When someone helps him to stand he balances on his tip toes. He can take a toy with his hand. He does not imitate actions that are shown to him. He has an attachment to small details. He tends to play alone. Often his emotions do not correspond with the reality.
Zeke can count up to 10, speaks in 2-3 words sentences, says poems, very active in musical activities, sometimes has anger expression difficulties and autoagression, has difficulty to move from one task to another, has broad and stable vocabulary, sentences not yet full, and sometimes he is lacks the simple logic. His hearing understanding is not in full potential. Made psychological autism test , observed many features of the autism. Diagnosed with complex developmental disorder and autism features, CP ataxic form; FAS, mixed developmental disorder, low height, hypermetropic astigmatism, functional heart murmur.
A U.S. mom had these observations about Zeke: He's a doll! He's cheerful, helpful, and very friendly. Every time we entered the room he was the first to greet us (Labas!!). Zeke has a little issue with following directions. I don't know him well enough to be able to distinguish if it was a willful issue or a cognitive issue. As far as I know he has FAS and possibly very mild CP effecting his legs/ Achilles' tendon. Zeke is a very likable kiddo!
Update from a volunteer who spent extensive time with him:
I met Zeke in the summer of 2010 while volunteering; in the years that I've known him, Zeke has made considerable physical, cognitive and emotional progress, and has become an active, curious, quirky, good-natured, and nurturing young boy. As his physical abilities have improved, he has become much more independent, both dressing and feeding himself. He does, however, need some direction and encouragement with these endeavors. Zeke best completes such tasks when given positive reinforcement and clear sequence of events to follow. For example, if simply given a pile of clothes, he often has trouble focusing his attention. It is more effective to ask him what he needs to do first, second, and third, and to tell him how quick/good he is when he has completed a step in the sequence. If he is feeling unmotivated, it can be helpful to tap into his nurturing side (ex. "Put your socks on! Your feet will get cold and wonder why you didn't dress them!") or to incentivize him with tickling—his favorite activity in the world.
In the past year, Zeke has become an avid performer, bravely singing in dancing during musical lessons and performances in the children's home. Even half a year ago, he would need a bit of coaxing to get up and join the other children in song. During this year's holiday show, however, when the music teacher asked for volunteers to stand up and perform, Zeke was the first to rise to the challenge. He also really enjoys musical children's films, often performing the routines from memory during playtime. One of his favorite toys is a little piano with a microphone into which he sings his favorite songs.
Zeke has a few other favorite games, which mostly revolve around caretaking and repetition. For instance, following the examples of the caretakers, he feeds, bathes and swaddles dolls, making sure to lovingly and carefully execute these tasks in the correct order each time; when waiting for the thermometer to show the doll's temperature, he pets her head, rocking her back and forth. Another current favorite of his is petting me and telling me not to cry in a concerned, soft voice. After establishing that he has comforted me, he gets in his toy car, wishes me all the best, drives around the room, and comes back to take care of me again. Zeke has also grown to love animals, and when given the chance to be with a dog or horse, he always pets them, sweetly telling the animals that they are good and that he loves them.
Zeke is an incredibly nurturing, loving child, and delights in physical affection. He loves to be petted and hugged, and gladly returns the favor. He is very concerned with maintaining good relationships with the adults in his life and is sensitive to admonition. If he is beyond the point of being motivated by positive reinforcement, a serious look and stern voice usually suffice. If he sees that he has accidentally hurt me, he becomes quiet and sad, and seeks reassurance that everything is ok. Zeke is less sensitive with respect to the children around him, as he is possessive of his favorite toys and the other children habitually seek what another has. In the last few months, however, Zeke has made a great deal of progress expressing his emotions and restraining himself when he gets upset. Whereas he would previously go after the child to repossess his toy, I have consistently responded by wrapping an arm around him, telling him that we will all gladly help him if he calmly explains to us what is wrong, and he is now much better at seeking our help and articulating his feelings. When he is agitated, it's best to take a calm, light-hearted approach to ease the tension; he thinks it's hilarious when adults copy his little squeals and shenanigans, so he usually laughs if I playfully copy his whining, which gets him out of his rut and allows us to calmly seek a solution.
All in all, Zeke is a joyful, enthusiastic, loving child who responds to physical affection, positive reinforcement, and clearly established expectations. He has a friendly attitude towards new people, and seeks a great deal of hugs from the adults in his life. I have the utmost confidence that with patient, gentle and loving guidance, Zeke will continue to grow into a capable, kind young man who will enrich the lives of those around him. In the five years that I've spent with Zeke, he has certainly filled my life with more love than I could have possibly imagined.

Oh sweet baby boy … he needs a family's love and care.
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.
Boy, born July 2012

A visiting therapist thinks that, with braces and a walker, Brenden will be able to walk in the future. Brenden loves to play and chat and is starting to say several words. He is definitely a precious little guy!

Now, he is able to build a tower of blocks, turn book pages, go up and down the stairs by holding onto handrails and can even put on and take off his shoes. He can also understand what the caretaker is saying and can say a few words in Chinese himself. Chance is an energetic and active little boy who likes playing with toy cars and going outdoors. Chance gets along great with other children and is still waiting to find his forever family.

Boy, born Oct 2011 congenital
internal hydrocephalus operated; anemia; protein-energy deficiency
Ezra has had a shunt placed, and is doing better. His adoption may necessitate consultations with medical personnel, to safely transport him home.
From someone who met Ezra in 2013: Ezra is absolutely precious! He is sweet and adorable and oh so lovable! He laughs when his toes are tickled, or when someone around him laughs or talks or sings to him. He often smiles or laughs so hard his chubby cheekers make his eyes close. He ha s learned to blow spit bubbles and coo. It is hard for me to tell if he is able to use his limbs normally, but he is able to move from his back to his side with little or no assistance. He has not yet learned to play with toys, but he has a very strong grip and enjoys holding my finger. I was told he can see, but not very well. I observed his eyes moving rapidly from side to side, and sometimes appearing to be looking in two different directions. In spite of this there were other times in which he appeared to be quite focused and looking right at us. He has absolutely stolen my heart, and I hope that he will find a family that can help him meet his full potential!
These pictures are from May, 2013.
Caius and Anne are in the same orphanage with Ezra.
Large families welcome; married couples only.

Zeke cannot sit and generally has very little control of his head, although he will lift it up occasionally. His overall muscle tone is low, but this has improved with therapy. Zeke cannot yet roll over, but can often be seen wiggling around and trying to accomplish this – if he can figure out what to do with his arm, he will be fine! Ezechiel is non-verbal, but expresses himself through happy noises or crying. He will likely require ongoing care his whole life.
From someone who works with him:
Zeke is such a happy little guy. He loves to sit outside and watch the leaves blow in the wind. His eyes light up each time he is given attention. He loves to be held and even more loves to be tickled. Zeke has the cutest little dimples and a beautiful smile that can melt any ones heart! He is always in a good mood and very rarely cries. Even though his name was given to him recently, he already response to it! Zeke is a picky little guy and often requires special meals made for him as he doesn't like what the other kids are having. He has only been here with us a short time, but has already touched many people's lives. He is such a joy to be around and is loved dearly by his nannies, volunteers, and the other children!
Zeke has very little control of his muscles. We are hopeful that with the right therapy he will improve in these areas.

Wylie is a sweet boy, and obviously loved by the nannies. They often stooped down to talk to him, and walked hand in hand with him. He walked constantly, clapping his hands and smiling. He exhibited what I would describe as autistic tendencies. I don't recall ever hearing him speak. One day he wondered out of his groupa (apparently the door wasn't latched) into the common area we were visiting out son in. My husband took his hand and led him back. He has a special place in our hearts and we pray someone will see him and choose him. I would be glad to talk to anyone interested. He is precious. He's at a great baby house, that is very pro-adoption, and in a faster region than most.
*** This child has significant facial features of FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). This is a cautionary disclosure to better prepare our potential adoptive families. Families considering this child should research and be prepared for the challenges that can come with this condition. You can learn more about FAS here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_alcohol_syndrome and post to our Facebook group to ask other adoptive parents about the challenges and blessings of children with FAS. ***

dvelopmental delay, leukoma in left eye
When Gentry was born he had a bad case of pneumonia and was behind his friends in his physical development. Gentry's pneumonia cleared up, but it has taken him a little while to learn to do things that his friends could do. At 7 months he started to hold his head up and roll over. At 9 months he was able to sit up all by himself and look for my caregivers when they called his name. When the doctors started to examine Gentry they found that one of his testicles was descended. Gentry also has leukoma in his left eye. Gentry can follow toys from side to side so his caregivers do not know if it is affecting his vision. Gentry loves to laugh, imitate caregivers, and groove to the music.

A bit of both. Mostly camping though. I'm not in extreme 4wding, just like to be able to get away into the bush or on the beach. We have a mitsubish Challenger at the moment. Have fun this weekend, hopefully it won't be too hot like last weekend. Do you have a favourite spot up there?
