Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome...
Girl, born September 2012
Down syndrome, post-op CHD
Spring is 2 years old, and just adorable! She came into care when she was 7 months old (approximately), and was found to have Down syndrome as well as a congenital heart defect. She had surgery in 2013 to correct the TOF/ASD (Tetrology of Fallot / atrial septal defect) and recovered well. Spring is a very quiet, very sweet little one who really needs a caring, loving family, who will provide her the therapy she requires. Spring has the typical delays seen in little ones with Down syndrome, and being confined to her stroller/walker is not helping her. Spring's left ear folds down a bit, but there is no known hearing issue involved. They have noted in her file that Spring's favorite activity is "being held" (how sweet is that!?). This little one is ready for a family.
Boy, born 2002
Down syndrome
From a family who met him in early 2015:
He is so sweet and quiet. He does talk, likes Legos and cars and Ninja turtles!
Boy, born 2007

Girl, born 2000
Mild Mental Delay
From a family that met her in early 2015:
She is so sweet. Speaks English very well and even translated for us some, she loves to dance and put on shows. The outfit she has on is a traditional dance costume; they were getting ready to put on a show for St Nicholas day.
Boy, born 1999

Luke ages out in NOVEMBER 2015! A family must file an I600a by November 2015!
From a family that met in early 2015:
He can read and speak English pretty well. He has been hosted here in the US.
Girl, born 1999
Mild Mental Delays
Natalie will age out in DECEMBER 2015!!
From a family that met her in early 2015:
She is a very sweet girl. We didn't spend much time with her but she seemed very quiet and smart. I don't know what her special need is but it must be very mild.
Girl, born 2001
Mild Mental Delays
From a family that met her in early 2015:
She is very happy, loves to take pictures of everything especially selfies! She speaks some English and has been hosted before. I think she would LOVE to help cook and clean as long as she had a mom to do it with! She liked dressing up and had skirts on most days. She clung to me often and even kissed me when she said goodbye for the last time. She was very bouncy possibly even a little hyper but not totally obnoxious. I was also told she can be bad but I didn't see any inappropriate behaviors while I was there.
Ross James
Boy, born 1999
Mild Mental Delays
Orphanage states he shows aggressive behaviors, has progressive mental delay
Ross James will age out in AUGUST 2015!!
From a family that met him in and spent time with him in early 2015:
He reads and speaks English although he doesn't understand as much as he pretends to. Lol. But he does speak very clear. He made us gifts in school while we were there and addressed us as mother and father. He even recorded a message on my phone to send to his host parents here in the US. He is so sweet. He is very small. More like a 10-12 yr old maybe. we spent two weeks with him and he is wonderful! We never saw any aggressive behaviors.
Baby bug! Married couples only. Travel required. Larger families & older parents welcome. Contact Debbie for more information.
Girl, born 2001

Skyler is a very kind and friendly girl, studies well.
Boy, born 2012
Down Syndrome, crossed eyes, cryptorchism
Girl, born 1999
Down syndrome
Blessing AGES out in June 2015!! A Family MUST file their I600A before her birthday in June or she will be LOST forever!!!
From a family who has met her: She is very small physically and needs to be adopted right away while she still has time to grow and benefit from good nutrition and affection!! She appears very alert and bright, with a sweet personality!
From another family who met her: This precious girl stole my heart. Whenever I saw her she was always so quiet, calm and very much to herself. I did not see her interact with other children but given the opportunity she will flourish!
From someone who met her in 2013: I met Blessing in 2013 while on a mission trip. I didn't interact very much with her, but from what I saw of her she is extremely delayed. When she was not receiving physical therapy or in her Montessori-type class she was always in her little chair stimming by herself. I think she has institutional autism on top of her DS. She really needs a lot of love and care, and a family who understands how extensive her needs really are.
Blessing can be adopted with Kristopher, Brayden, Jett, Cambria, or Dylan.
A family with previous adoptive experience, of older children out of institutional settings, would be the best choice for Blessing.
Girl, born August 2009
Esotropia and amblyopia of right eye; slow motor reflex
Gorgeous 5.5 year old Isabelle is waiting for her forever family to find her! Isabelle is listed as having esotropia and weak sight of the right eye. Esotropia is a form of strabismus, or "squint," in which one or both eyes turns inward. Isabelle is also diagnosed as having slow motor reflexes. She had a CT scan done and it came back clean-no abnormal findings. Isabelle's file is outdated (from Dec. 2013). Isabelle likes to giggle, play games, and imitate what others are doing. She likes watching TV and cries if she is not allowed. She loves her foster mother and those she sees on a regular basis. She is not afraid of strangers. She speaks very little. She says "po-po" (Grandma), "ma-ma" (mother) and "ba-ba" (father). She follows directions very well. If you ask her to point to a certain body part, she will do that. She is very wobbly on her feet and cannot really stand up without a helping hand. She leans on her foster mother a lot, but she was observed to be able to walk flat footed. She is clearly adorable, but may need a family who is open to significant delays and to some unknowns.
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 2014
Down syndrome, parasitic disease, disorder of the brain, atrial septal defect,
vit D deficiency, disorder of the urinary system, hydrocele, anemia
Girl, Born August 2007
brain malformations, bilateral hearing loss,significant cognitive delays, heart condition strabismus, anemia
Brandi is a beautiful 7 year old girl. She is listed with bilateral hearing loss, but can definitely hear, as she will turn around and look for the person calling her name, and does respond to commands given if she chooses (if she doesn't, she screams/attempts to run/swats at the caregiver). Cognitively, she is very delayed, more like a toddler, in ability to understand what's going on around her, and in her responses, and appropriateness. She also has strabismus in both eyes, and has both a heart condition and anemia. She does NOT have CP, nor microcephaly. She does have brain malformations, significant developmental delays, and many stimming behaviors that are typical of lower functioning autism. She is completely nonverbal.
Families interested in Brandi should be aware that she appears to have autism, and that it impacts her significantly. She is a "runner" and will bolt and run unless contained or restrained and potential families need to be aware that this is common in autism, and that they will need to take appropriate measures to keep her safe in a home and family. She has a history of aggression when changes occur, such as a move, or unexpected event, which include biting peers and adults, and she struggled for at least a year after her last orphanage change four years ago, but is doing better now. However, as many with autism thrive on routine and predictability, families need to be aware that she may handle a transition poorly, especially at first. She has excellent mobility, and is very typically sized for a normal 7 year old in weight and height, and when she resists, it is challenging for a grown woman to hold her back. She has been in a school for the deaf, however, she knows no sign language nor does she read lips. She is very much in her own world in many ways. She enjoys music and will sometimes clap, but remains disconnected from the group and does not interact with adults (was not seen with peers).
Brandi attempts to smell/lick everything that is handed to her and when she realizes it isn't food, she is not typically interested. The nannies report that she has an excellent appetite, and that she enjoys eating. She stims by rocking, throwing herself back and forth, sucking all four fingers on her hand, grunting, and moaning/shrieking. She walks with a lurching gallop. She flaps her hands often. A potential family should be aware that she has no awareness of danger, no fear of strangers and is very much like a very young child emotionally and cognitively, but physically is strong and very mobile. She currently takes psychiatric medications to assist in sleep and behavior.
She is a lovely little girl, with beautiful blond hair and clear complexion. She is in a good orphanage where she is well cared for. Families need to research autism, and be comfortable and familiar with caring safely for a child with the issues mentioned above, in order to provide Brandi with a safe, loving home.
$9,672.49 will also be available towards the cost of my adoption!

Backbone separation with hydrocephalus, cross- eye, Atrophy of eye nerves. Other and unspecified hydronephrosis on the left side.
Girl, born 2008
Mental delays, Cerebral Palsy, development delay. Atrophy of eye nerve. Cardiopathy.
From someone who met her in June 2013: "She was one of my absolute favorite kids I met! She is just the sweetest thing. She is diagnosed with MR not sure she really is. She was giggling and introduced herself by saying her name. She has a huge smile! She has a special nanny that does PT with her. She was bed bound when I met her but she came from a very good orphanage before she was transferred here. She needs out now!!"
Girl, born 2004
Mental delays. Down syndrome, cardiopathia. Umbilical hernia. Convergent squint.
Paige had previously been living with her mother until she lost her rights.
She can sit independently and can crawl! Her speech is not well developed but she can partially understand what you are saying. She has a very short attention span.
Update June 2013:
Lovely Paige has hair now! She broke my heart. She was just sitting on the couch rocking back and forth and didn't respond at all when I came over to her. Poor, sweet thing!! The nannys love her, but she needs more than they can give. I am not sure if the move was hard on her or what but she just rocked and rocked.
Girl, born 2007
Birth anomaly brain development, microcephaly with tetraparesis, convulsive syndrome. Mental delays. Convergent squint. Partial optic atrophy. Umbilical hernia.
Oh sweet Vera! She spends much of her day in the crib and she needs stimulation!! She is living on borrowed time. She has tremendous potential for improvement if only she is given the chance. She will require medical attention and families should expect at the very least physical therapy.
Update June 2013:
Vera is doing well! She looks good — but she still spends too much time in her crib.
Vera needs a family!
Girl, born 2004
Diagnoses: deep mental delay. Cerebral paralysis- double spastic form, microcephaly. Strabismus, divergent squint, and Optic atrophy. First degree anemia.
Sweet little Shayla could tremendously use a family and medical attention to help her thrive. She has already been living in this orphanage for 3 years and risks soon having to be transferred to a place where adoption will be next to impossible.
Her speech is not well developed, she holds toys in her hands for brief periods of time (but she sure does love to hold stuffed animals!), she has a reaction when you say her name but she is not able to communicate back but she smiles. She walks with support- can"t walk independently. Children in this orphanage need families! They do not receive enough interaction/therapy to help them thrive. They are seen as hopeless but we know that is not true!
Update June 2013:
This is not a great picture [on the right] but she would NOT sit still. She was wanting to move!! She thought it was so funny and would not stop laughing and rocking back and forth about the camera. The nannys also were laughing with her- her laugh and happiness is very infectious.
Girl, born 2005
Mild to moderate delays, needs dental work
Sweet girl! She needs a mama to paint her nails and braid her hair. She's trying so hard to force a smile for the camera.
Girl, born 2007
Symptomatic epilepsy, autism, development delay, scoliosis, dermatitis, mental delays
She loved, loved loved the camera. Could not get enough of it but she would prefer to hold it herself. She was able to follow directions and was playing independently with toys.
Lauren says "HI Mama!! I'm here waiting for you!" (in this photo she is riding a rocking horse!)
Lauren is a super-sweet and active little girl. She is very social and affectionate, and will do well in a family setting.
From her medical records: chondrodysplasia
As with all children living in these difficult conditions, this child's cognitive development has regressed significantly since he/she was younger. It is of crucial importance that any family considering the adoption of an older child from the mental institution setting be well prepared for what to expect with regards to how the neglect and lack of adequate medical care and nourishment has affected this child. These children all have TREMENDOUS potential for improvement, and deserve to have a life outside these four walls.
Girl, born 2008
Mental delays, anomaly innate of development of central nervous system and spinal hernia with lower paraplegia, cross- eye. Chronic kidney infections (obstructive pyelonephritis, and congenital megaureter)
From someone who met her, summer 2013:
This girl has my heart. I can not get her off my mind! I wish I was in a place to adopt or I would go get her. I really, really hope a family falls in love with her like I have! I got to kiss her and love on her for a little bit. No idea what she was saying to me but she gave the biggest smile- very photogenic. I can't bear to think about her just sitting in the wheelchair and watching the other kids play!
Girl, born 2007
Cerebral palsy, dysplastic cardiopathy, first degree flatfoot, incorrect posture, hearing loss, epilepsy
Girl, born 2002
Mild to moderate delays, Cerebral Palsy
Update June 2013:
Frieda is also very sweet but is delayed. She is shy when you meet her but she loves lollipops and will smile for one There is video also available with her in it, for interested families. She knew the words to the lyrics to the songs they performed and also tried to dance along to the music. She does like to rock a little bit when she sits more than likely to self-soothe.
Boy, Born 2001
Alexey is consdered significantly delayed. He is fully mobile, and oh so handsome! But he has been given a second chance at life, saved from the mental institution and living in this well-kept school setting.
From a family who met him, Sept 2012:
Alexei is really a handsome guy and I think he knows it! He was playing ball with his groupa and is very active. When he was given a cookie from us he said thank you appropriately and made perfect eye contact. He will be a joy to any family with sons at home!
Update June 2013:
Alexey has a very big sweet tooth! He would not put down his lollipop to take a picture- when asked he told us politely "No, thank you."
Girl, born 2001
Diagnosis: severe grade of the mental delay, hydrocephalus, fibrosis of hyaloid, secondary glaucoma, exfoliation/detachment of retina, congenital defect of the heart partition
Angela is very small for her age. She needs a family!
Update June 2013:
She is so sweet. She is blind, but follows with her head your voice and she smiles very big when you talk to her! She has such potential but is in a bed!!
Girl, born 2002
Mild to moderate delays
Another lovely young lady, still waiting for her forever family.
Update June 2013:
This picture does not show off her true beauty! She loved wearing this dress as when she danced the beads went flying. She has some pretty good dancing moves! I am not sure if she knew the words to the song but her mouth moved the entire time. She also rocks when she sits and does present as delayed. She has a very sweet, shy smile.
Girl, born 2006
Mild to moderate delays
New picture (red stripes) from summer 2013.
Girl, born 2005
Diagnsis: mental delays, light degree tetraparesis (CP)
Miss Nadene has regressed greatly in the orphanage. She has bad memory and attention. She is very shy and quiet. She needs help often but she can walk with support. She could use the love of a family to really blossom!
She is a mover! It was difficult to get her to stand still.
Girl, born 2005
Mild to moderate mental delays
This little peach is just waiting for a family of her own!
Update June 2013:
So disappointed her new picture is fuzzy. She is teeny-tiny and a very happy little girl!
Girl, born 2004
Mild to moderate mental delays
Isn't she just the sweetest?
Update June 2013:
Coralina is also such a sweet girl! She loved the beach balls and was running around the room making sure they all stayed in one place. She is very small especially considering she is almost 9. She is in a video, available to interested families.
Girl, born February 2003
Mental delays, fetal alcohol syndrome, microcephaly, partial atrophy of optic nerve, birth vitium cordis
Alys is a beautiful, sweet girl who is already 9 years old! She has significant mental delays, FAS, microcephaly and partial atrophy of optic nerve. She could greatly benefit from a family!
Update June 2013:
She was about ready to take her nap when I saw her. She already had her hands behind her head relaxing! She does get out of her crib and her orphanage just created an outside safe space for older children who are in cribs.
Married couples only. Larger families and older parents welcome.
Girl, born 2003
Mild to moderate delays, left eye condition
Update June 2013:
Look at Delta- isn't she beautiful?! She is SO, SO sweet- we gave the kids lollipops and she grabbed my hand and squeezed it and said thank you. She is very "with it"- the kids danced for me and she was one of the very few that was on beat! She is able to follow directions and imitate. I have a video but for privacy reasons I can't put it on her profile but if a family is considering her I would be happy to share!
Girl, Born 2001
From her medical records: congenital microcephaly, autism
Justine is a pretty girl with dark hair and eyes. She is fully mobile and active. Her face bears features of FAS, but this is not documented and is only a cautionary disclosure.
As with all children living in these difficult conditions, this child's cognitive development has regressed significantly since he/she was younger. It is of crucial importance that any family considering the adoption of an older child from the mental institution setting be well prepared for what to expect with regards to how the neglect and lack of adequate medical care and nourishment has affected this child. These children all have TREMENDOUS potential for improvement, and deserve to have a life outside these four walls.
ALIVE and WAITING!
A question was raised about whether Kiersten had passed away, but this photo was taken March 14, 2012 She still needs a family!
Isn't Kiersten beautiful? She is 15 years old but is still very much a toddler. She is not able to walk on her own. There is nothing in her medical records to indicate why she is so delayed, and she does not show obvious facial features of FAS…her needs are quite unknown.
From her medical records: significant mental delay, congenital hypothyroidism
As with all children living in these difficult conditions, this child's cognitive development has regressed significantly since he/she was younger. It is of crucial importance that any family considering the adoption of an older child from the mental institution setting be well prepared for what to expect with regards to how the neglect and lack of adequate medical care and nourishment has affected this child. These children all have TREMENDOUS potential for improvement, and deserve to have a life outside these four walls.
Girl, born 2004
Mild to moderate delays
Update June 2013:
She is delayed but she tries very hard to keep up with everything. She is super, super smiley- like she could not stop smiling and giggling. She loved singing and she also loved watching everyone else dance (she did not participate). She also rocks when she sits, but again probably to self-soothe. There is video available with her in it as well.
Girl, Born 2003
Alisha was born with Penn-Sjogren Syndrome. We do not have any other info indicating why she may be cognitively and physically delayed. She has cognitive delays, and a divergent squint.
Update 2012:
Little Miss Alisha's eyesight has regressed significantly. She needs a family!
She can't move by herself but she tries to sit. Her speech is not developed. Mental processes are not formed. Ideation is not developed. Alisha is friendly and quiet. Her emotional world is poor. She needs care constantly.
Update June 2013:
Look how good she looks! When I saw her she was sitting on the floor with another child, and she reached out and tugged on my pant leg almost like "look at me!" I said her name, and she gave me a big grin.
Chrystyna is a beautiful, brown haired, brown eyed girl who deserves a chance at a better life! Her official orphanage papers say she has developmental delays/difficulties from birth, but nothing more specific than that. It is possible she has FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome). Her biological mother was deprived her parental rights in December 2004, and the biological father is not known. Chrystyna has so much potential, and will be a precious gift to any family who adopts her.
Chrystyna is already living in an institution, so we need a family for her right away!
UPDATE: God has been watching Chrystyna. She was recently transferred out of the institution into a wonderful facility, where they teach these children, work with them, and they appear very well cared for. The difference in the few girls who were transferred OUT of the institution is incredible! Please give these girls a second chance for a loving family!
If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition. Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively. This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much. There is no way to know this ahead of time.
From a family who met her, Sept 2012:
She is getting settled into her new environment. She seems to be very comfortable in her groupa. She is very beautiful and still has a lot of potential. She deserves a chance!
From someone who met her, June 2013:
During the music performance, she was constantly stimming really fast (like it looks like she is being fast forwarded) and after they finished she was taken out by a nanny. Not sure what is going on with her; If interested families want to see the videos they are welcome to! I know a family tried to take pictures of her last year but couldn't get a good one because she moved so much!
Girl, Born 2002
Cerebral Palsy, mild/moderate mental delays
Anastasia is a lovely young lady with blonde hair and blue eyes. Anastasia was born with CP, and has difficulty walking, but she is very smart and affectionate and doing well. Physical therapy will work wonders for her. She will be a wonderful daughter for anyone who considers her!
Update June 2013:
This girl is a dancer! She does not let her CP stop her and she was up and dancing up and down to the music. She is mobile and does walk unassisted but poor thing desperately needs PT and is not receiving it. Her legs do not go straight
Girl, born 2001
Mild to moderate mental delays
Soleil comes very highly recommended from the orphanage director. She has shown great progress since she entered the orphanage.
She is running out of time — a family must be found for her before she turns 16!
Update June 2013:
Soliel really stands out. She is a helper. She was helping the younger children stand up and dance and they were watching her to mimic what to do. She seems to be one of children that helps the orphanage staff as she is able to follow directions. She can read and speaks very clearly when asked questions. It is unclear why she is in this specific orphanage and they pointed her out specifically as needing a family! She is a very sweet girl who said she has dreamed about having a family but isn't sure if she will ever have one- it just about broke my heart. There is also video available with her in it!
Girl, born August 2009
Love the grin on this little love!
Jessica has congenital brain malformation. She has a heart defect: stenosis of the pulmonary artery, and an atrial septal defect.
She has vision issues (listed as optic atrophy and also nystagmus). She is listed as anemic and malnourished.
Families should be aware that her medical history says FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), as well.
*** Jessica can be adopted together with EMERSON and/or KRISTOPHER if a family is interested and approved in their home study. ***
MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE. Married couples only, travel required, larger families ok.
Girl, born 2003
Cerebral palsy
From a family that spent time with her January 2015:
Very sweet girl who loved to practice English with me. Very tight scissor gait but walks with walker and up and down stairs. She also can hop a bit like a frog on hands and feet when she doesn't have her walker. She is polite and likes chocolate! She seems a little shy but not so much she wouldn't talk to us. I have tons of photos because there was a whole bunch of selfies with my daughter.
From an adoptive family who met her in Jan 2015: "I sat next to Rebecca today at an orphanage Christmas concert. She is SO cute! When she came in to sit down, she was SO excited to be there. She saw a boy in the row in front of us that she knew, and they greeted each other warmly. Her smile lit up her whole face.
We were sitting in the last row, so she stood quiet and attentive during the concert, her hands on the back of the chair in front of her, peering between adults' shoulders to see her friends and classmates perform. Her hair was elaborately pulled back into a series of little ponytails on top of her head, which were then braided together. The caregiver sitting next to her obviously likes her quite a lot. At the end, of the concert, all the kids who are mobile were taken up to dance around the Christmas tree, and she and little Wetherby (who really is quite little)! danced next to each other in the circle. "
*** Rebecca can be be adopted with WETHERBY, if a family is interested and approved in their home study. ***
Boy, born 2004
Arthrogryposis of legs
Ian has total control and use of his hands, good flexibility and good fine motor skills. His arms also don't seem affected by the arthrogryposis, and he has full range of shoulder motion. He walks with his legs stiff and unbending, balancing on one side and then the other as he swings his body around to move forward. He has very little, if any, flexibility in his knees.
From the waist up, Ian is about the size of a normal 10yo. His head, arms, hands, and shoulder width are all very comparable to a typical American 10yo. However, his legs are very thin and very short, about the length of a 4yo, if even that, and his feet are the size of a toddler's. As a result of the proportion disparity, his hands when down at his side extend to his knees. He does not have club feet.
From a family who met him in late 2014:
Ian is a wonderful, wonderful child! He will do fabulously in a family. He always has a smile on his face and is happy to see us each day when we visit our son. When we arrive, he always makes eye contact with me and smiles his huge, infectious smile after I say hello. Ian isn't all over us begging for our attention the way some of the children are. His personality is more reserved than that, and he absolutely blossoms when we talk to him or pay him any attention. He's very bright and attends a regular school. He is polite and friendly. He played important roles in both the New Year's and the Christmas pageants, and he danced and moved and smiled and sang along with the other kids — so cute! Ian recited his lines so well!
While Ian's walking is slow, he is fully mobile and doesn't let his physical limitations stop him from doing what he wants to do. From what I can tell, Ian takes care of all of his personal needs without help. The orphanage is set up in a recurring series of half-floors, so there are are staircases all over the orphanage. Ian holds on to the handrails and moves slowly but does handle the stairs all on his own.
Elinor understands everything, follows directions, but she does not speak.
Boy, born 2008
Down syndrome
From a family who met Wetherby in Jan 2015:
He is a sweet little kid! He loves to dance and loves music. He is incredibly tiny for his age and definitely needs a family's love and care to help him grow. He is in the same group as Rebecca. They frequently dance together to music the caregivers will play for them on the TV.
*** Wetherby can be be adopted with REBECCA, if a family is interested and approved in their home study. ***

Information from the family who adopted her close friend:
According to our daughter she is very sweet, she is neat (as in keeps things organized and clean), she loves to help, and she was a very loyal and good friend. I do know that after a while, the way she was treated at the orphanage caused her to cry often and thus they sent her to a different school. My daughter was similar and is doing wonderfully … her aunt has gone to see her once or twice and worries about her condition there.

Girl, Born Dec 2009
Crouzon syndrome
Sweet Cherie …. she needs a family desperately! Picture on the left is from December 2012, on the right is from summer 2012. Additional pictures available.
Cherie needs a family fast! From her medical records: congenital anomaly of the skull, feet and hands. Cleft hard palate, CHD, PFO, aortic defect. Hydrocephalus
She was born end of 2009. She was born via c-section and a full term baby with Aperts Syndrome and Hydrocephalus. She has had multiple surgeries to include a separation of both her pinkies from her other fused fingers. She uses her hands and feet very well to get what she wants. She had a shunt placed for her hydro as well. Soon after her first surgery the shunt failed and after some time they did a second surgery. The surgery did not go well and a significant amount of brain damage was sustained and the second shunt was not able to be placed as a result of the damage. She also has difficulty with sight. Mostly though she threw any toy or object near her. She crawls and scoots to get around and does not speak but makes noises. She seems to know her name but does not make eye contact when her name is called. We were told she likes "baby toys"- things with bright lights, colors, noise, and also that she likes music. She is able to eat regular soft foods but is spoon fed, she is able to use a sippy cup. She currently spends most of her time in her stroller. We were told that she is developmentally around 18 months but we think more like 8-10 months from what we saw in 3 hours. She is a very sweet wonderful little girl who needs a family who can meet her needs and love her well.
Update Jan 2015, from someone who knows Cherie: The current description of her underestimates her. Yes, she does have some brain damage, but she's a very smart little girl. She definitely makes eye contact. She understands speech directed at her and what is said over her head. She has several "signs" that she has made up to show when she's hungry or wants a drink. I only see her weekly, but she clearly knows me and responds to me. She cried when I left her today; she usually does. (I know, no normal person wants to see a child cry, but in this case, it's a good sign.) I so want to see a family come for her! If anyone is interested in adopting her, I would be very happy to correspond with them.
From a family who met her in early 2015:
This precious little girl is an absolute delight & would VERY MUCH benefit from a family! She is extremely loving ~ she's able to receive & give love. She loves to be held and rocked and can easily form attachments. She completely understands what her caregivers tell her and responds to their instructions. She DOES make eye contact when she is spoken to directly, especially when she hears her name & even when she hears her name being called from across the room. Upon hearing the word "juice" (which she loves), she immediately starts grabbing for a cup to drink. I imagine that it would not take her very long at all to understand English because she will be in a family teaching her with love ~ the one thing she consistently responds to!
She is also funny because she can be a little "stinker" with an attitude when she doesn't get things she wants or things don't go her way. I'm extremely happy about this b/c these are very healthy child personality traits. Can you imagine what love, commitment, & nurturing from a FOREVER FAMILY can do for this sweet baby girl?!? Can you imagine how she will thrive?!? She is WORTHY and DESERVES a family!!
Girl, born 2008
Spina bifida with hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, deep mental delay, congenital deformity of the hip, congenital ptosis, optic nerve atrophy, iron and protein deficiency
This tiny girl has spent a lot of time in the hospital. She needs a loving family to be by her side and help her receive top-notch care.
Boy, born 2012
disorder of the brain, epilepsy, ectopic perineal testis, ventricular septal defect, other congenital malformations of the cardiac septa
update 2/15 – He had last seizure in October 2014. He is on medication for epilepsy. His heart condition does not require surgery.
Boy, born 2013
Down syndrome, HIV, disorder of brain, atopic dermatitis, torticollis, atrial septic defect, biliary tract issue
Sweet baby boy!
Hopefully we'll get a new picture soon.
Girl, born 2013
Congenital malformation of the central nervous system, symptomatic epilepsy, atactic syndrome, tetraparesis, porencephalia
Boy, born 2012
Hydrocephalus posthemorrhagic
Oh sweet love needs a family and medical care.

- Recipes for natural homemade soaps, lotions, etc. are also welcome.
- Please leave me a comment! I love it when I hear from you. Often times comments make my day!

If the intention of the person being recorded is to transmit something, and the intention of the person watching it is to receive something, then where is the problem?
Is there some sort of expiry/use by date on intention? Who defines this date?
I understand what your saying but I think Rinpoche's intention, how he perceives the process to take place is important. To me it seems that the intention is there to transmit the teachings then, at that moment to whoever is listening at that time through the provided mediums, some of those mediums have minor delays. The replays do not seem to be one of the intended mediums.
Taking your example to the extreme, when Rinpoche teaches to large groups and they use a PA system (where sound is converted into digital information, transmitted to speakers and then the sound reaches the recipients ear, milliseconds later) it is the same as listening to a recording years later. Since that doesn't make sense there must be some other reason, beyond the second, minute, hour, week, month, year delay as to why Rinpoche doesn't want recordings to be considered lung or transmission.

RMS did three major things. He didn't do them alone, but was the driving force behind them, and without him, we wouldn't have them:
- Emacs
- GCC and the rest of the GNU toolchain
The first one is not important to everyone. The third one made Linux and everything around it possible, the second one was what made Linux and all the BSDs and everything Apple does today possible.
If someone doesn't like his hairstyle or his opinions, fine, knock yourself out. But talking about how he is not doing the "real things" for "the people"? He is 60 years old now, FFS, he did the "real things" that make everything you touch today possible, and he did them 30 years ago. Now he's a Free Software advocate, a movement he started, and which began as a couple of command-line tools, and which now runs most supercomputers, as well as providing software for almost everything anyone would ever want to do on a programmable computer.
If somebody doesn't see this, there is no helping them. Go ahead and hate him, I don't care, and neither does he.
Because if a 60-year old pioneer who almost single-handedly started the movement that gave us all our software doesn't create a slick product to compete with teh Apple and teh Mikrosoft, then "we" will shower him with ridicule because he, the 60-year-old man has not himself rewritten all the firmware in the world. I mean, he only re-wrote Unix (with lots of other people, of course). But today's kids are not easy to please. No, he must rewrite the firmware of my new Lexus, otherwise the kids will hate him, because the kids today are spoilt brats.
Let us pray.
Hail Stallman, full of indignation.
Our copy is left with thee.
Noisy art thou among the hirsute,
and invisible is the fruit of thy code,
Stubborn Richard, father of GNU,
chill-out for us Linuxers,
now and at the cron of our tab.

Pirkei Avot- Ethics of the Fathers, Chapter 6
Click here for Chapter 4 of Pirkei Avot.
1. By ten divine sayings the world was created. Could it not have been created by one? What does this teach us? In order to emphasize the guilt of the wicked who destroy the world that was created with ten sayings and the merit of the righteous who preserve the world that was created with ten sayings.
2. There were ten generations from Adam to Noah, to show how great was His patience, for every one of those generations provoked Him continually until he brought upon them the waters of the Flood.
3. There were ten generations from Noah to Abraham, to show how great was His patience, for every one of those generations provoked Him continually until Abraham, our father, came and received the reward of them all.
4. With ten tests was Abraham, our father, tested and he stood steadfast in them all; [they were] to show how great was His love.
5. Ten wonders were performed for our fathers in Egypt and ten at the sea.
6. Ten plagues did the Holy One, blessed be He, bring upon the Egyptians in Egypt and ten more at the sea.
7. Ten times our ancestors in the wilderness tested the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is written (Numbers 14:22) "Who ... tested me these ten times and have not obeyed my voice."
8. Ten miracles were performed for our fathers in the Temple:
· No woman miscarried from the odor of the flesh of the offerings;
· The flesh of the offerings never turned putrid;
· No fly was ever seen in the place of slaughter;
· The high priest never suffered a pollution on the Day of Atonement;
· Rain never quenched the fire of the wood arranged on the altar;
· No wind prevailed over the pillar of smoke;
· Never was a defect found in the omer or in the two loaves or in the showbread;
· Though the worshipers stood pressed together, they could freely prostrate themselves;
· Never did serpent or scorpion do harm in Jerusalem;
· No man said to his fellow, "There is no room for me to lodge in Jerusalem."
9. Ten things were created at twilight on the eve of the first Sabbath:
· The mouth of the earth (Numbers 16:32);
· The mouth of the well (Numbers 21:16);

Salt Lake City, UT — Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility today brought a life-saving lesson about the dangers of drunk driving and underage drinking to students at Murray High School. Brandon Silveria and his father Tony spoke to students about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol — if students are under the age of 21, the only responsible decision is not to drink. Brandon is a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. "There were 72 alcohol-related traffic fatalities last year in Utah, and 7 involved youth under 21. One death is one too many," said Attorney General Shurtleff. "We must do more to educate everyone on the dangers of underage drinking. I am so proud to have Brandon and Tony Silveria with us to tell their heart-breaking story about the horrible consequences of having a few drinks before driving." "Among youth under age eighteen, 146 were arrested for driving under the influence and 1,908 were arrested for liquor law violations in Utah last year (UCR 2004)," said Dana Fudurich of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "I'm pleased we were invited to give a presentation today. During our visit, we hope to raise awareness about this serious problem, and by doing so, save lives in Utah." During the presentation, Brandon Silveria told students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want — a job, a girlfriend and plans for the future — until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, he was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Brandon was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country. "What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon. "When I was seventeen, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed." Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have visited every state in the nation to address well over two million high school students and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," and "Leeza." To request a free copy of "Brandon Tells His Story" or for more information on the Silveria program call (800) 431-4499. The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens. Launched in 1991, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is funded by America's leading distillers. The Foundation's mission is to promote responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol and discourage all forms of irresponsible consumption through education, communications, research, law enforcement and other programs.

Focus on the Basics:
You are never too old – or young – to focus on the Basics.
Adopting, or improving, healthy habits is about making incremental, repetitive changes that eventually become habits.
In time, those habits become your lifestyle, and it's the lifestyle that adds up to big results.
As anyone who has committed to healthy goals can attest, one of the Basics for success is excusing yourself — without becoming 'the excuse' — when one of life's commitments interferes with your day's objectives.
Part of maintaining consistency in your effort is simply accepting that some days won't go as planned. It is not a reflection of poor commitment, nor is it a license for self-doubt.
Remind yourself that "health" is the journey, and not the destination. It is the path to better living.
Your true purpose in health is to experience the most in Life. It is about truly Living, instead of merely being alive.
Choosing to make better choices for your health is less about adding years to your life, and more about adding life to your years.

Embase has unique and comprehensive journal and conference coverage for all your biomedical informatics needs. In-depth indexing makes it easy to find answers, and customizable e-mail alerts that send out regular updates support tracking and automate the retrieval of information. Whether you are doing systematic reviews, monitoring the literature to make informed decisions in evidence-based medicine or are engaged in pharmacovigilance and post-market monitoring of your products, Embase is the ideal solution for you.
The right database for rigorous reviews
Embase is a key resource for biomedical evidence, from published, peer-reviewed literature, in-press publications and conference abstracts. Widely recognized as an authoritative source for generating systematic reviews, Embase's comprehensive indexing of trial and study types, reviews and meta analyses ensure maximum searchability.
Direct access to key information
When you search with Embase, you find the answers you want quickly, without having to wade through whole articles. We achieve this thanks to our policy of full text indexing of drug, disease and medical device data. Retrieve the precise data you need, presented in context and proceed with confidence.
All the terminology at your fingertips
When our biomedical experts index articles, they use the uniquely detailed life science thesaurus Emtree. It covers trade, generic and chemical designations for drugs, medical device trade and manufacture names, disease names and more. Full text indexing with Emtree means you can search the terms you know and still find all the relevant answers.
Customizable alerts to keep you informed
Embase is designed to help you track the issues that interest you. It's easy to automate the retrieval of information. Simply customize and save daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly alerts and let the data come to you.
Multiple data sharing options
Discovery happens when data is shared. Embase supports data export, RSS feeds and integration services, making it possible to share data with a wide range of systems. Let Embase facilitate the spread of crucial information.
More journal coverage than any other database
If you're searching MEDLINE, you're only seeing part of the picture. Embase provides unparalleled coverage of the biomedical literature, with over 28 million records from over 8,400 currently published journals. Embase includes over 6 million records and over 2,700 journals that are not covered by MEDLINE. That's not all — thanks to Embase Classic, you have access to data going back to 1947. Each year many new journal titles are added to Embase - please use the Journal Title Suggestion Form to suggest new titles.

Unique conference coverage, unlike any other database
Embase includes conference abstracts from important biomedical, drug and medical device conferences dating back to 2009. It currently indexes over 1,000 conferences covering 300,000 conference abstracts each year — advanced information you will miss if searching MEDLINE alone. Download a list of all covered conferences here (XLSX document).
Support for critical biomedical research functions
What is your role in biomedical research? Embase is designed with critical biomedical research functions in mind: medical librarians performing systematic reviews of drug and medical device literature; corporate and governmental safety and risk managers; information managers involved in competitor monitoring; and pharmacovigilance and drug safety researchers.

fluidr3 it sounds quite okay for me for playing midi files.
I haven't done much with timidity but I only need to runand magically rosegarden's sound will work....Code:timidity -iA
/usr/bin/fluidsynth is an executable. by default, launching fluidsynth from the commandline will bring up a shell, but you also have the option of using config files, as well as passing many other commandline arguments. check 'man fluidsynth' ... you should be able to setup it up as you like, then just have it as a startup application or make a simple script with the proper commandline arguments and config. you can disable the shell mode to, so that it's non-interactive and just launches and runs in the background, as well.
you should be able to run it similar to timity++

Ninez, is the kind of guy who sees goofy I guess.
Some people see honorability, and see God. Others see goofy, because they know nothing else. And ofcourse him they don`t believe in, and neither themselves.
And ninez is in such a state of ignorance, that he WILL proclaim superiority, from his goofy state.
That is just how it is.
And in my discussion with gays, they will get extremely offensive, extremely illogical, post offensive pictures, nude beaches, talk about feces, prison-fantasies. In media gays had sex in a zoo in a tree, where families walked by.
They don`t know decent people. Ofcourse lying about your own nature, for years, dissolves boundaries.
Ninez argues for homophilia, against my plugins, against religion. He is the prime example of the biggest idiot you can be.
God deludes him to his offensive state. And there feces and inferior plugins, idiocy and backwardness is what is worshipped.
Peace Be With You.

This assumes that you have compiled SDL_mixer with FS support, of course. Also, FS doesn't need to be running. SDL_mixer uses libfluidsynth.so directly and doesn't need a MIDI server or anything.Code:SDL_SOUNDFONTS="/usr/share/soundfonts/Some_GM_SoundFont.sf2:/usr/share/soundfonts/Some_GS_SoundFont.sf2"
Thanks to all of you three who give me constructive comments. I feel like I've aged and become a more "entitled" and lazy end user.
my PC is messy too, suffered partial hardware failures and loss of a fast and big HDD, my desktop is ugly and lacks features, my speakers badly placed, my thermal paste is dessicated, my memory is saturated, my desk is messy too and so is my mind.
But I know I can clean all that up eventually. (I need about 120 euros of upgrades to leave that ghetto trap, too)
Yes ninez I maybe did not do all my homework. fluidsynth from command prompt is the first thing I tried, now it seems obvious qsynth is a way to run it with the right flags. It seems to be a quit unixy enough program, I suppose it would be even possible to cook /etc/init.d scripts (or other) to run it in server mode, or just have a launch script for my application as you suggest (which I may want already for other reasons).
RealNC, thanks I'll try to mess up with SDL_mixer in the next tinkering session.
ChrisXY, I do not intend to defame timidity, which is probably not at fault. For the font I have SGM-V2.01.sf2 which was easy to get, free and legal and was praised a lot.
Look at it from a developer perspective: I want to create a program that works. So I design/test the program with component "a" installed. I release. I get thousands of reports that the program doesn't work with "b", because some feature isn't supported properly.
Understand, as an application developer, its not my job to make fixes within the Kernel. Come up with ONE standard, and make it work.
Yes, it is nuts. And its things like this that scare people away from Linux.Mind you, timidity was wonderful (well it was best under windows XP where it did system wide midi with no configuration). But I could use it to play midi files from the command line, or with VMPK, a toy piano (sending a huge peak of garbage on my right speaker when it starts), and that's all.
With Fluidsynth I had no peak in VPMK and I ended up getting music under dosbox! and I ended up getting a smooth MS-DOS doom2!, by setting a stupid high cycle number in dosbox.conf and tweaking the video output parameters. It didn't sound as good as I remember with using timidity on Windows but that's because my flat is too small and maybe Linux damaged my speakers.
I still have no music in prboom (with timidity I could get some with the incomplete and garbage "freepats.cfg sounds" ; a known and unresolved bug prevented from using a soundfont). Nothing in prboom.cfg, nothing in in-game menus, nothing in prboom manpage. I have to look for garbage pages in google, such as end of this one http://prboom.sourceforge.net/linux.html and this one http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
So, under linux prboom uses garbage midi synth in "SDL_mixer" that uses timidity but only supports Gravis Ultrasound Patch (a thing that was hot in 1994 and ignored outside the MS-DOS demo scene). Under Windows prboom supports system wide, real midi. This is nuts.
you are nothing but a duchebag.

Die freie Stadt Mainz - A great hunt for glory
In 1419 Mainz was a rather weak German state whit a small army. There where no alliances and no royal marriage whit any significant country at all. That it was a seat of an Archbishop and that it was an elector of the Holy Roman Empire didnt help much. The Palatinat, an other German city state, had claims on Mainz so under the last years to 1419 they had build up an army of 15000 men for the porpoise to concur it. On the 4th of January war was declared upon Mainz and the Palatinat army begun marching towards the city. On the 19th of February the armies clashed on the shores of Rhein. The Mainz loss was devastating. 5000 men were lost. The realms of the army retreated out of sight for the Palatinat. Because the Mainz army was not capable to do anything they were not followed. Mainz army marched south to Heidelberg, the seat of the Palatinat duke, and camped outside the walls.
The Mainz Cathedral.
The city of Mainz had not been any more if it were not for the German city state of Kleves joined the war upon the Palatinat. An army from Kleves soon arrived outside Heidelberg and helped whit the siege of the city. The army was so big that the Palatinat did not try to liberate their capital from the enemies outside the walls and hoped that they would capture Mainz before the united Kleves and Mainz army would take Heidelberg. But they did not. On the 2nd of January Hessen joined the war and on the 27th Heidelberg fell. Because Mainz most skilled diplomat still were in Hessen no peace were made. Mainz garrison surrendered on 21st of March and the Palatinat army marched south. On the 30th the armies clashed once again. This time the Palatinat lost witch meant disaster for their duchy. A new siege on Mainz begun; this time by Hessen. The defence of Heidelberg was abandon and the remains of the Palatinat army begun a siege on the city. But it was too late. On the 12th of April Mainz was recaptured and by that was the Palatinat erased from the map.
Kleves saves the days.
Some years of peace and wealth now begun in Mainz. However, as quickly as the old war ended a new started. On February the 3rd 1428 the drunken king of Hungary insulted the archbishop of Mainz, face to face whit his ambassador, calling him a fat German mollusc who should be executed instantly. The archbishop of Mainz declared war on Hungary the very next day. In Hungary they laughed but in Luxemburg they took it very seriously and joined the war on Hungarys side. Luxemburgs great army soon had besieged Köln, a new ally to Mainz. After some time Köln fell but so did Luxembourg to Kleves. After inherit Köln to Luxemburg their army now begun marching towards territory owned by Mainz. They met no resistance because they had totally destroyed Mainz army some time before. Because their entire army camped outside Heidelberg Kleves now could continue their concur of Luxemburg without much resistance.
The Luxemburg army did kehrt euchafter their capture of Heidelberg and went home to retake Luxembourg. But before they succeeded did Kleves dictate a peace giving them Köln. Mainz and Kleves now signed an agreement making Kleves vassal of Mainz. At this stage the Luxemburg army was heavily reduced to 7000 men and by that smaller then Mainz brand new army. Mainz did a successful attack on Luxemburg and made them their vassal in the peace.
In January 1436 did Kleves declare war upon Gelre and thus England and Aragon who where in the alliance. England easily advanced through Burgundy that they already were in war with and towards their German enemies.

PAHO Celebrates 110th Anniversary
December 2, 2012, marks the 110th anniversary of the founding of what is today known as the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). During its 110 years, PAHO and its member countries in the Americas have achieved such major health milestones as the eradication of smallpox and polio and the elimination of endemic transmission of measles and rubella. During the past century, life expectancy in the hemisphere has gained nearly three decades, infant and maternal mortality have declined significantly, water and sanitation services have expanded, and the gaps in health between rich and poor have narrowed. Pan American health cooperation has been an important contributor to this progress.

"I thought it was so intuitive putting this together and it came out so beautifully - better than I was expecting. The paper is very thick and the colors are pale (maybe a bit lighter than I was expecting). I made these as a thank you letter for my toddler daughter for when she gets presents from friends/ family so she can send out her own Thank You cards and her picture is on the back for family that don't see her too often. Can't wait to get these again next year when she gets a bit bigger and we can pick out another design."
"I was looking for a twins-themed thank you card to use for my baby shower gifts. This design was great b/c it is gender neutral (mine are boy/girl) and also appropriate for my couples shower (i.e., not too girly). I customized the text to say "Thank You" instead of having my name. It just seemed to make more sense. I also changed the font since the default suggestion seemed a little bit passe. The finished product is clean, simple, and cute! One nit-picky suggestion was that I would have liked the option to extend the yellow border or design to the back of the card. I did not have the perfect photo(s) to use in that space, but hated to leave it entirely blank."
"I really liked these thank you notes because they were printed on fabulous paper and the colors were exactly what I wanted! My notes to my friends will be given in style!"
"I chose this thank you card since it was more sophisticated and classy. I didn't want kid-like trucks and animals with bold colors for boy. The small photo on the left is subtle. Lovely. I reordered."
"I received these cards the day after I ordered them and was very very happy with them. The card stock was thick and beautiful and the design was simple and classy. I have five kids, so I put our last name up top with the five kids names at the bottom and use them for birthday cards, thank you cards, and gift cards - anything you can think of. The simple design works well for all my kids - older, younger, boy, girl. Love it!"

5 Ways Being a Blogger Helped Me Survive a Disaster
To be honest, last week was a pretty rough week for the city of New Orleans. The landfall of Hurricane Isaac bringing powerful winds, heavy rains and strong storm surge to the area, the city was, to put it simply, a disaster.
While it may not have been a catastrophe on par with Hurricane Katrina seven years ago, it was still a powerful storm and one that more people stayed for due to fact it wasn't seen to be as great of a threat.
What resulted was a city roasting in a hot bayou summer without power, A/C or even adequate ice. Couple that with flooding issues around the city itself and an emergency response that was seen as less-than-swift, the city felt like a disaster zone, perhaps more than it actually was.
But in the middle of it all, I realized that my work as a blogger was serving me remarkably well during these trying days. When one usually thinks of disaster skills, they typically think of survivalists capable of living off of the land.
However, disasters, even extreme ones, don't unfold the same way in the digital age as ones just a few years ago. Your skills with Google may be more useful than knowing how to desalinate water and, if you're a blogger, you likely have many of the skills needed to help make any disaster more bearable and more survivable.
Here are just five examples of how. Read More
