From a family who met her in summer 2013:
She was in my kids' groupa. She is the sweetest little thing and needs out of there ASAP!!! She has the most noble quiet nature about her. She is mentally delayed but has so much potential. She was one of the least favored children in the orphanage and she is desperate for love. On one occasion she wandered over to the play shelter where we were playing and was trying to eat our daughter's cookie. We didn't have any extra (we brought treats for the groupa every three days or so) so my husband just picked her up to distract her and as soon as he did, she threw her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder just soaking in the attention. I can't bear the thought of her being transferred! She already has it bad enough.

From a family who met them in early 2013:
Lola seemed so sad when we met her. We would stroke her cheek and tickle her and by the time we left she would burst out in smiles when she saw us. She would blossom if she were loved! Our 6 year old was with us and she loved to grab his finger through the crib bars, she even gave him her pacifier one day! She's very tiny, delicate and beautiful.
Charlie has a gorgeous smile and he was walking when we were there. He loves to smile, wave, and loves to play with toys. The director asked us to find a family for them.

Silas #4-12 OD
This 7-year-old boy has congenital deformity of the lower limbs (club left foot – after surgical correction; flat feet; wears orthopedic shoes); moderate mental delay; congenital internal hydrocephalus (slight, not progressive, no surgical treatment is necessary); some disturbances in behavior.
He doesn't often get ill. He vocalizes and follows simple commands. As a result of the extra attention he has been getting in the last several months, he has demonstrated a good rate of compensating his delays and there has been a slight increase in the intensity of his psychological activity – he wants to go out, he demonstrates how much he enjoys going for a walk, he waits and gets annoyed when he is not taken outside at the regular time. He plays with toys. He helps the orphanage staff. He loves physical contact and initiates physical closeness with familiar adults. He likes getting individual attention.
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 May 2006
Congenital cerebral hernia, hydrocephalus, flail legs, slight mental delay, equinovarus, adenoid vegetations of I stage, paralytic strabismus, slight astigmatism, anemia, TB-infection, congenital heart disease (open oval window), diffuse goiter of I stage

He has built self-service skills (eats, dresses and undresses independently, potty-trained). He has marked progress in his speech development and tries to use more words and connect them in sentences. He interacts with children, albeit he prefers the company of adults.
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.

infantile cerebral palsy, symptomatic epilepsy, nystagmus, delayed physical and neuropsychological development. She takes a medication so as to prevent the seizures. She has daily rehabilitation, remedial massages and gymnastics.
In the last 4-5 months Yvette has started performing active movements with the hands – she reaches for and grabs a toy that has been handed to her. She turns from her back to one side. She loves it when someone talks to her and caresses her and she then produces joyful sounds. She maintains stable eye contact. She pronounces several one-syllable words.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.

From someone who met Nash in 2012: Nash is a wonderful little boy. He is always quick to excitedly greet visitors with happy squeals and a formal hello, and is quite insistent visitors take a seat in the chair he brings over to them He is very helpful and obedient, and will sometimes bring toys over to the smaller kids in his group who cannot get toys for themselves. He is very talkative, but a lot of what he says is sort of like "Nash"-ese. He has no problem getting his point across, however, if it is important to him that you understand him! He likes to play with just about any toy; balls, legos, cars, light up toys, you name it he will play with it. He enjoys being silly and laughing, and especially thrives with one on one attention. He is generally a happy little guy, but does not like messes or rule breaking, and is not afraid to tell the other children "No" or try to right their wrongs if they are misbehaving. He very much aims to please! I feel Nash would adjust easily to and thrive in a family!
Boy, born Sept 2007
Cerebral palsy, double spastic hemiplegia, partial atrophy of disks of vision nerves, crossed eyes
Girl, Born April 2006
Cerebral palsy / TBI
Eugene is really a GIRL! After all this time, we have learned he is a SHE.

Jewell is the victim of parental physical abuse, and suffers from post-traumatic brain injury, which has further complicated her delays and struggles.
She does have a sister with mild delays whom she can be adopted with or by herself.
Todd #21-12
Trudie #416 OD
Girl, 8-years-old
cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, hypotrophy, severe aphasia, severe mental delay
She responds positively to stimulation and contact. This girl has a good emotional tone. She is sociable and calm. She can reaches for, holds and manipulates with toys.
She cooperates with her caregivers.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.
Girl, born July 2007
Freeman Sheldon syndrome, both legs clubfoot (condition after surgery in 2011), developmental delays
Simeon is a beautiful Roma child with dark hair and big brown eyes. He is significantly delayed, and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. We are trying to get more information on his social history. Simeon is a fraternal twin, whose sister has already been adopted.
Simeon has an older sister who is available for adoption, and in the same orphanage. We hope to have more information on her soon.
Simeon is described as mostly non-verbal, and is not able to walk on his own. There just seems to be so much potential for him in a family environment. He is already an outcast because of his darker skin and will be left institutionalized – and likely bedridden — if not adopted.
From a family who visited with him in 2011: Simeon is barely responsive to stimuli, but I believe that could change if he received regular, loving attention. I didn't observe any of the orphanage workers spending much time interacting with him. There were times that I was able to get him to smile and grip my hand. After a few days, he was even able to clap! But most of the time he is staring off in any direction and seems completely unable to control most of his movements. He was always either lying down or propped up in a sitting position. I never heard him speak. I also never heard him cry or fuss. Overall, a very calm child.
Married couples only, larger families and older parents welcome.
Erickson #415 OD
Boy, 8 years old
severe mental delays, agenesis of the left kidney
Erickson has a stable health condition and hasn't been ill in the last year. He has significantly delayed neuropsychological development. He walks independently. He has good prehensile skills and responds to being called by name. He takes notice of his surroundings and makes attempts to interact and communicate with other children. A positive trend in his development has been observed over time.
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.
Carris #418 OD
Girl, born Dec 2004
spina bifida and hydrocephalus — a shunt has been installed for the girl's hydrocephalus; a surgery is being planned for her spina bifida
She is in a good general condition, with limited motor activity. Photo from 2010.
In terms of psychological development the child has been developing well: has well-developed perceptions and notions; good associative abilities; initiates interactions with all the children in her group; has skills for participating in group activities; has a good emotional tone; eats independently.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.
Keith #419 OD
Boy, born June 2009
Hydrocephalus, epilepsy, atrophy of the left cerebral hemisphere, eye issues and blindness, and delayed psychomotor development
Keith stands up in his bed and makes steps sideways and he crawls. He takes a toy on his own initiative, transfers it from one hand into the other. He smiles when someone talks to him, laughs aloud when jested and produces syllables.
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.

Additional photos and videos are available.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.
Boy, born January 2001
mental delays, spastic tetraparesis, convulsive disorder
Sweet Denzel! He is tube fed through his nose, and often swaddled to prevent him from removing the tube. He 'lights up' and smiles widely when presented with musical toys — a greatly welcome distraction from his days spent staring at the ceiling. There is so much a family could provide for him!
Stephie #49-4
Diagnosis: Down syndrome & alopecia
Stephie is a beautiful teenager who is currently living in a wonderful foster family that is taking great care of her. Her foster parents want to see her adopted into a loving family and have worked very hard to help Stephie grow and develop to reach her full potential.
Stephie has alopecia (hair loss). She does have hair on her head, but since it is thin, her foster parents bought her a wig. They did not want her to be made fun of by other children. Stephie wears the wig with no problems.
Stephie has well developed motor skills, speech and self help skills. She understands everything that is said to her and also talks quite a bit. Like many children with Down syndrome, she struggles with articulation, but she does actively engage in conversation and is a very friendly and social young lady. She just completed 3rd grade at a school for children with special needs and is doing very well in school. Her school report indicates that she is very well behaved and follows all the school rules. She has proper hygiene and preforms all hygienic tasks independently (toileting, washing hands, dressing, tying, buttons & zippers, etc). She eats independently and neatly, using a fork, spoon and napkin correctly and cleans up her plate when she's done. She can also make a sandwich on her own. She identifies and writes some of her letters and can count and identify numbers 1-5. She can write numbers 1-3. She can identify and name many objects by category, participates in musical and situation games, plays and other events.
Several additional photos and videos from June 2013 are available.
Boy, born August 1999
HIV, mental delays, nonverbal, possible autism
From a missionary who met him in 2013:
Garion is a very active boy. He is one of the few children in the institution who seeks out ways to occupy his time. He loves to be outside and is often found climbing trees or playing in the dirt pile. He likes to carry a bucket around and fill it with the odds and ends he finds. He needs more stimulation then he gets in the institution. Garion does not talk, but he smiles at anyone who smiles and waves at him. He responds to his name. He is wary of strangers, but I was able to gain his trust. He does not like to be touched but eventually allowed me to kiss his hand.
One evening I spent an hour with him, throwing back and forth a ball made out of a pair of rolled-up tights. I would recommend Garion for a family that does not have young children. I really loved this boy and felt like he needed someone to work with him to bring him out of his shell.
Physically Garion seems fine. He is the right size and build for a kid his age. He is not small or too thin or anything.
I really, really loved this boy. Emotions pass over his face so plainly, and he looks scared a lot of the time. I think that the world doesn't make much sense to Garion. I had to work really hard to gain his trust, but I see so much potential in him.
Girl, born February 2011
Cerebral palsy, microcephaly, pseudobulbar syndrome, focal symptomatic epilepsy
Mildred is so young — she could really thrive with the love and care of a family!
HIV+, heart defect, vision issues (blind in one eye), moderate mental delay
Kristopher is a handsome young man with blonde hair and brown eyes. He is very active and is said to be always happy, but he is quite delayed. Kristopher has significant vision issues, which may or may not be correctable.
From a family who met him in October 2012:
Kristopher is a super-sweet boy who is 5 but looks 2 and is happy ALL the time. He needs to live near a large medical facility, have heart surgery (unless it's too late), and probably needs a small family that can commit to pretty full care for him. He is darling!
Photo from April 2011. Additional photos available.
Girl, born August 2007
CP dystonic-dyskinetic type, rough delay of static and locomotor activity, mental delay, umbilical hernia, congenital cataract, crossed eyes
Sweet Chantelle has a list of diagnoses, but her main need is a loving family! A family could help her reach her potential and save her from a life in a crib.
From a family who met her in fall 2013:
Chantelle is mostly kept in a laying room although I did seen her out in the main groupa room laying down in a gated play area. I believe she can roll around. I saw her holding things in her hands as well. She has a calm, sweet spirit and I had her smiling in the first minute of seeing her. I touched her precious little face and told her I loved her and she smiled. The other kids seem to love her and they liked going into the laying room to take pictures of her with me. Chantelle so needs a family now! She won't be kept at the baby house much longer. She is soooo beautiful, the pictures really don't do her justice.
Amilee #34-7 G
Girl, born April 2007
Congenital hemolytic anemia, epilepsy, infantile cerebral paralysis, congenital cytomegalovirus infection (a serological testing was conducted), club feet, severe speech delays
Amilee demonstrates a positive attitude when interacting with an adult. She moves in space by turning from back to belly and vice versa. The child's gross motor skills are underdeveloped. She needs anticonvulsant therapy, monthly hemotransfusions and special care.
The child is thoroughly dependent on the adults for dressing, bathing and eating. She is fed with a spoon by an adult, drinks from a bottle.
Amilee's emotions are mostly positive. When she communicates with an adult she becomes more active and smiles. The child's emotional reactions are addressed towards the adult, she looks for his attention and vocalizes when she is teased and when becomes emotional.
Additional medical information available.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.
Girl, Born July 2, 2007
From her medical records: minimal brain dysfunction, delay of psychological and speech development (may have slight mental delay), patent foramen ovale, crossed eyes.
Girl, born September 2008
Cerebral palsy
Gina has a sunshiney smile!
More pictures available, but she is seated in this chair in all the pictures we have.
From a family who met her in August 2013:
Precious Gina is so willowy and gentle. She is being loved and cared for in her baby house. She is soon to be transferred, though. Her groupa goes outside twice daily on nice days and she sits in a stroller staring at the leaves and feeling the breeze. When touched and cuddled, she moves her head toward you. Her skin is soft, and her hands are so gentle. She blinks with delicate eyelashes and seems to be trying to clear the fog to see you. I got to see her several times and each time her face lit up with a smile and she moved her chest side to side rhythmically to acknowledge her joy at being noticed. She is so full of life, and needs more therapy to help her reach her full potential. Gina deserves so much more than what she has been given. If only her mom and dad could look into her eyes and see how much life is behind them. She is a treasure, and is in desperate need of a family as she approaches the age of transfer. The institution she is headed for will not offer her anywhere near what she has now. Please see Gina before she is lost forever.
Gina received massage therapy regularly, is in diapers, and could use some dental care. She is very thin, but is being offered excellent nutrition. She is in a region that we felt comfortable having just mom stay for much of the travel. More pictures and a video available.
Gina is now available for international adoption as she recently turned 5.
Brett is a handsome young man who was born with CP. He is very smart, he gets around on his own by crawling, but he is not able to walk. Therapy will do wonders for him! He deserves to have a family!
From a volunteer who knows him: He plays with other children. He speaks with separate words. He understands the addressed speech. The boy is curious, likes classes. He loves when his nurse reads for him, he likes making pyramids.
Update December 2012:
Brett is very smart and curious. He has some learning and language delays associated with institutional life, but he does speak in complete phrases around people he trusts. He enjoys cars, coloring, and games. He got very excited when we showed him pictures of dogs and other animals, so he might do well with pets.
A family considering adopting him should be prepared to deal with some institutional behaviors and traumas. This is the area where Brett might need the most assistance in understanding rules, family, and nurturing relationships.His physical disability limits his lower body, specifically his legs and feet, but he is very strong in the upper body and crawls very quickly. He is a very active kid who needs some physical therapy, appropriate equipment, and perhaps braces to get where he needs to for walking. He is able to pull himself to standing. The orphanage has worked with him on potty training and he seems to be doing well with it.
More photos available, married couples only.
Nadia and Nancy (twins)
born August 2007
Both girls have been diagnosed with FAS, pyramidal insufficiency in legs, mental delay, and crossed eyes
URGENT! NADIA and NANCY HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED!!!
What a lovely little pair of pixies! Nadia and Nancy are twins. Please help us find them a family where they can grow up, together!
We saw them successfully feeding themselves borscht. They were sitting up properly and feeding themselves soup with a spoon. One walks and even runs a little stiff/awkwardly but they are absolute DOLLS! The other crawls and socializes. They have deep auburn hair and dark hazel-ish eyes. They are both tall, lean, and long-limbed. One is a bit more shy than the other. Both are BORED and need music, hugs, kisses, and a mama and daddy! They loved our attention and carried around magazine pages. They are beautiful twin girls!!!Oh my heart!!!! My heart is breaking! Someone will be blessed to be their parents!
Both girls are now walking! We hugged them a couple times. They are very sweet! They giggle and seem to speak in sentences (from what little Russian I understand). They have a teacher working with them to try and allow them to progress enough to be sent to a regular older child orphanage instead of an institution! They say mama and papa and smile and laugh when we come in each day. They feed themselves and I don't think either one is in diapers.
Large families welcome; married couples only.
BOY, born November 9, 2006
Nicholas is officially diagnosed with FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). His delay is considered significant. He needs a loving family to help him achieve all he can be. He does not appear to have any additional medical complications from his FAS. This picture makes him seem to have vision problems, but I think it's just a bad picture.
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.
Gregory #G
Boy, born May 2007
mixed disorders of behavior and emotions, mild mental delays; suspected autism
Gregory prefers adults he is familiar with, rather than peers. When something new catches his attention he is smiling and alive. There is no developed expressive speech: he does not speak, produces only sounds. He understands what is said to him by an adult and what he is expected to do.
He has no developed abilities to play. He does not play with toys, does not use household goods according to their purpose. Does not participate in group games. Gregory prefers to be alone, does not initiate contact with other children. His self-help skills are not appropriate for his age.
Additional information and pictures available from the agency.
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.
Noah is a sweet boy with light brown hair and big blue eyes. He was born with CP and is significantly cognitively delayed. He is not able to walk at this time, but loves to be held and loves attention and affection. His possibilities are endless!

Boy, Born November 27, 2006
Photo dated Feb 2010. Kenneth is a blonde haired, blue eyed cutie who was born with FAS. Kenneth does have some spasticity on his left side, and will greatly benefit from therapy and a loving family to encourage him! He is diagnosed with hydrocephaly, but this is a result of the FAS. He is not in need of a shunt to correct (the doctors say).
As you can see from this updated picture, Kenneth is doing GREAT! He wants a mama and papa of his own.

You know he is the one, when you walk into the building, he runs to greet you and takes you for a tour of the place. Andrew is medically healthy, but shows many of the facial characteristics of FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). He is cognitively delayed, but active and friendly, with great potential in a family environment.
From his medical records: microcephaly
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.
Boy, Born November 12, 2002
Down syndrome
Ruslan is a handsome young man who is in desperate need of a family right away. He has strabismus, and is also a CARRIER of Hepatitis B. (www.webmd.com) He is asymptomatic at this time. We are trying to get more details on his Hep B….he is living in the general population of children, so they don't appear to be very concerned about him transmitting it to other children. (Typically, children with blood-born viruses such as Hep B and HIV are isolated in special orphanages and never available to be adopted, so we are thinking that maybe he tested positive at birth and hasn't been retested, or he isn't showing any outwards symptoms).
From a nurse in the infectious disease unit in a pediatric hospital: *** Hepatitis B is something that children in the USA are routinely vaccinated for. If parents have not received the vaccinations, they can easily go to their physician and receive the series. With these vaccinations transmission is extremely minimal as vaccinated parties can have immunity to Hepatitis B. Titers (simple blood test) can also be drawn after taking the vaccines to make sure immunity has been acquired. Hepatitis B is also treatable with medications and people can also just be carriers of the virus. This health condition is labeled chronic, but with proper medical treatment and simple precautions it is very treatable and the risk of transmission is minimal at most. ***
Ruslan has already been transferred out to the institution due to his age, but he can still be adopted!! Please open you heart to little Ruslan….he needs you!

Daniel is facing a bedridden life in the mental institution without your help! Poor Daniel struggles with many health complications, but he can truly reach his full potential with a loving family. He has CP and hydrocephalus, along with some symptoms of epilepsy.
From his medical records: congenital hydrocephalus, spastic tetraparesis, movement disorders, symptomatic epilepsy, severe mental delay, partial optic atrophy.
From an adoptive family in summer 2012:
Daniel is not doing well. His head has enlarged quite a bit and both times I saw him he was lying down in a raised toddler bed. He clearly needs medical help for the hydrocephalus.
This region typically waives the 10 day waiting period for children with special needs.
Boy, Born August 16, 2003
Down syndrome
Glenn has blonde hair and blue eyes. He has Down syndrome, and struggles with the effects of FAS. With this comes strabismus and a valvular heart defect. Despite this, he is doing well, mobile and active and friendly.

Updated 2012:
Sweet Glenn is such a love! Despite multiple medical conditions he is doing pretty well! He loves to hug and understands commands. His finger motor skills are not well developed. He can eat and use the bathroom independently. He is currently not speaking very much but it does not sound like he attends any speech therapy. He does need help changing his clothes but he is practicing!
This little guy could greatly use a family to help stimulate his speech and his fine motor skills.

From our facilitator who has visited with him: Vlad is very healthy and has the most striking green eyes! His life story is very typical. The boy doesn't have brothers and sisters, the mother died. Super boy. Physically developed perfectly well. By the fact very healthy, practically never ill. He is very fond of English, reads children stories without a dictionary, speaks good English. The boy is very communicative, always optimistic. He is very supportive with friends and very polite and obedient with the teachers and caregivers. Dreams about obtaining a family.
***Vlad is also an OLDER CHILD, and will have no opportunities if he ages out. His "orphan and HIV status" will follow him the rest of her life. Please give Vlad a chance to grow up knowing the love of a family and having basic the opportunities that he deserves. ***
Brett #19-1
Boy, Born August 23, 2001
Diagnosis: Down Syndrome, Severe lagging behind in his development, Alopetio areata
Brett was born premature at home and taken to an open field, where he was abandoned. He was there for 6 hours before being rescued and taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for shock, hypothermia, bug bites all over his body and difficulty breathing. Once released from the hospital, he was placed in an orphanage and later transferred to a mental institution, where he lives today. From a physical standpoint, he suffered several bouts of bronchitis and other sicknesses as a young child. He does have alopecia (hair loss), but does not have any other health problems at this time. Based on one of the video clips, it appears that Brett is able to pop his hip out of socket, as his can turn his leg at an unnatural angle. He can walk and move freely around in his environment.
Brett suffers from many delays as a result of spending over 10 years in an institutionalized setting. He walks, plays with toys, communicates using gestures and interact with adults at will. He is NOT aggressive. The staff cares for all his basic needs and he is not receiving any academic instruction or any noted therapies at this time.
Several photos and videos of Brett from December 2012 are available.
Boy, Born April 11, 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."

Matvey is such a cute little boy, with blonde curls! He is cognitively delayed, but does not seem to have any official diagnosis other than that. He has amazing potential!! He was transferred to another region in 2010.
Boy, Born April 10, 2003
HELP! I have been transferred to a remote institution, with no hope of finding my family without you!
Jason spends his time either in a crib or in a stroller, sitting outside.
He needs a lot of love and attention … He is a good, sweet child, but he has a lot of self-injuring behaviors. Unfortunately, he is often restrained because he hits himself really hard.
Update Nov 2012: Jason is learning to walk with support!
From a family who visited with him in June 2013: I saw Jason this morning. I got to take him for a walk in the stroller, play with him, feed him (twice!), and get him ready for his nap. He is wonderful. He loved it when I made my hand crawl up his belly and tickle him under the chin. I was rewarded with loud laughing and a huge smile. He liked to have me rub his feet, and whenever I would stop he would stick his little foot up for more. He makes noises but he does not talk. He can walk if he holds both of your hands, but he prefers to crawl as he can go faster. He is the king of the bouncy seat. He sits in it whenever he can, and he shooed away another child who came too close. He is about the size of a four year old and is in a 4/5 shirt. He's heavier than I thought he would be, but I can carry him easily. I'm totally in love.
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Diagnosis: cerebral palsy, epileptic syndrome, significant mental delays. Unable to walk, spastic/tight muscles. Evan is blessed to still be at the baby house (as of March 2010), but once he is transferred, he will spend the rest of his short life bedridden. Please consider being a loving family for Evan!
From a family who met him in summer 2012: One of the boys I worry most about is Evan. He appears to have cerebral palsy. He is stiff and a bit distorted. He does not have the luxury of PT and OT to help him function better. He sits hour after hour in a wheel chair. As he gets older and bigger he will be moved to a bed and left there. He will be put in a diaper and left in bed – fed there and left – the diaper changed once or twice a day. He will just be left to lay there.
Girl, Born March 5, 2005
Irina is a beautiful girl with dark hair and big dark eyes. She has a cleft palate. She is cognitively delayed, likely as a result of FAS. She is a precious and happy little girl, and will do great in a family. She can be *assertive* at times, but responds very well to individual attention and will really thrive as the "baby".
Irina is a child who keeps to herself. Usually, if she plays with others, she prefers to stay in small groups, but she also can be okay with larger groups of children. She prefers playing with children younger than she is. Irina is a good listener and is a sweet and sensitive child.
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.
Irina has been transferred to the older child internat now. She is with Juri and Jefferson.
Adam #16-1
Down syndrome
Adam has lived in a mental institution since shortly after his 4th birthday. Visitors to the institution have described it as very nice and more like a nice hotel than a mental institution. The children are well cared for and have many opportunities to experience things. Yet Adam is still missing the love and attention that comes with having a family of his own.
Adam is 10 years old. He walks and his gross motor skills are well developed. He does not talk at this time but does follow verbal directions. He feeds himself with a spoon but still requires some assistance with dressing. He plays with toys and enjoys music time, but prefers to play alone instead of with the other children. He is not aggressive toward himself nor others and is described as "a calm child". He does the stereotypical rocking back and forth when sitting, which is a common "orphanage behavior". He attends school in the local village. He's in a special education class. He is not interested in most school activities, though he does enjoy music time.
Several additional photos and video clips of Adam are available. From the videos, he really enjoys playing in the pool!

Boy, born July 2003
Little Kiril was born with microcephaly (a small head) as a result of FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). He is considered significantly delayed. He has brown hair and brown eyes, and so desperately wants to know life outside of this orphanage. He is a darling little boy, and the orphanage director would so love to find a family for him soon. He is able to stand, and can walk with help, but his speech is very delayed. With therapy and a loving family and educational opportunities, Kirill has so much potential in life!
Kiril has been transferred to a special needs school, not an institution. We have several other children waiting there who could be adopted with him.

Jared (26)
BOY, born May 1, 2007
This handsome young man, with dark hair and dark eyes, was born with a rare genetic condition called Stickler Syndrome. His medical records also indicate microcephaly, a common symptom of SS.
Individuals with Stickler syndrome experience a range of signs and symptoms. Some people have no signs and symptoms; others have some or all of the features described below. In addition, each feature of this syndrome may vary from subtle to severe.
A characteristic feature of Stickler syndrome is a somewhat flattened facial appearance. This is caused by underdeveloped bones in the middle of the face, including the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. A particular group of physical features, called the Pierre Robin sequence, is common in children with Stickler syndrome. Robin sequence includes a U-shaped or sometimes V-shaped cleft palate (an opening in the roof of the mouth) with a tongue that is too large for the space formed by the small lower jaw. Children with a cleft palate are also prone to ear infections and occasionally swallowing difficulties.
Many people with Stickler syndrome are very nearsighted (described as having high myopia) because of the shape of the eye. People with eye involvement are prone to increased pressure within the eye (ocular hypertension) which could lead to glaucoma and tearing or detachment of the light-sensitive retina of the eye (retinal detachment). Cataract may also present as an ocular complication associated with Stickler's Syndrome. The jelly-like substance within the eye (the vitreous humour) has a distinctive appearance in the types of Stickler syndrome associated with the COL2A1 and COL11A1 genes. As a result regular appointments to a specialist ophthalmologist are advised. The type of Stickler syndrome associated with the COL11A2 gene does not affect the eye.
People with this syndrome have problems that affect things other than the eyes and ears. Arthritis, abnormality to ends of long bones, vertebrae abnormality, curvature of the spine, scoliosis, joint pain, and double jointedness are all problems that can occur in the bones and joints. Physical characteristics of people with Stickler can include flat cheeks, flat nasal bridge, small upper jaw, pronounced upper lip groove, small lower jaw, and palate abnormalities, these tend to lessen with age and normal growth and palate abnormalities can be treated with routine surgery.
Another sign of Stickler syndrome is mild to severe hearing loss that, for some people, may be progressive (see hearing loss with craniofacial syndromes). The joints of affected children and young adults may be very flexible (hypermobile). Arthritis often appears at an early age and worsens as a person gets older. Learning difficulties, not intelligence, can also occur because of hearing and sight impairments if the school is not informed and the student is not assisted within the learning environment.
Stickler syndrome is thought to be associated with an increased incidence of mitral valve prolapse of the heart, although no definitive research supports this.
Boy, Born January 14, 2005
Little Vitaly is so handsome, with his dark hair and eyes! Vitaly was born with CP and is not able to walk at this time. He is moderately cognitively delayed, but will regress every day he is in this place. He is already living in an institution, and he needs to be rescued desperately. Otherwise he will never have a chance to walk, never have the opportunity for surgery or therapy.

Girl, born Jun 2000
Down syndrome
From someone who met her in 2013:
It is so difficult to believe we celebrated Harley's 13th birthday when we visited the orphanage. She's so very tiny and still very much a baby. She is very loving and sweet. She clings to you when you hold her and always smiles when you bounce her up and down and tickle you. She doesn't walk or talk, and is very limited. Harley is capable of walking with assistance and can take a few steps on her own if you push her hard enough! She can babble a little bit.
Boy, born September 2004
Mental delays; he does not talk. He is very active.
From someone who met him in 2013:
Brayden looks to be about 4 years old, not 9. He's a very energetic and happy little boy. He would always run up to the missionaries. He is in the same groupa as Collier. He loved it when we went outside, and when the older boys swung him around. He also loved swinging on the bench swing and on one of the bouncy cars. He has some speech sounds, but it is very difficult to understand. Brayden is also very caring, and has the most infectious smile. I believe he would be a very good fit in a family.

Quote:Hi Lee Jay, I forgot to mention that I usually image with a 6.3 focal reducer but the same is still true.I am use to imaging with my LX200 10" in Alt/Az mode on a tripod in the driveway. I started with a DSI IIc then later started using DSLR's. With no shakiness problems. This LX80 with a 10"ota in polar mode is shaky just using visual on a windless night. Its also difficult to focus. But last night with 5-8mph wind gusts It was difficult just to view the moon or M-13. In Alt/Az mode, no wind the 10"ota wasn't as bad visual but still worse than I expected. With the 10"ota and AR152mm refractor in duel scope mode it was a lot better. Just a little shaky. When I tried my Explore Scientific AR152mm f/6.5 refractor in Alt/Az mode there was less shakiness. It weighs 23lbs. I haven't tried it in polar mode yet. My AR152 refractor isn't shaky on my LXD75I think the problem is the 3/16"+ movement in the drives from the spring loaded wormgear when using heavier scopes.neilson

Quote:I just don't get it I don't understand..I would not buy a auto or computer or any other thing that did not work from a seller much less a seller that has a history of turning out produce that don't work right out of the box..its like catching the same fish time after time the fish never learns. Meade is fishing and you guys keep biting.
Quote:Will I guess you get what you pay for. I understand about the price and what it' suppose to do but if it doe's not work it will not matter how much you payed for it. How much is all your time a worry worth, will Meade renburse you for that.

What does it mean to be fit?
For many of us, being fit means maintaining a healthy weight with diet and exercise.
However, the "healthy weight = fit" idea omits and misrepresents several important components of what being truly fit means. In biological terms, "being fit" means "being able to provide for one's own life and wellbeing; the fittest are those who can do so the best." Now that's a little closer to what we should be working toward. Not just being fit to the point of sufficiency, but being the fittest.
So, the question is: What can you do to be the fittest you can be, or to obtain the best quality of life possible?
To answer that question, we'll examine the five components of physical fitness. That's right, there are five. Not just "fitting into my favorite jeans," "being able to run a marathon," or "bench pressing twice my body weight." Our definitions are from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Body Composition: This refers to the relative amount of muscle, fat, bone, and other vital parts of the body. Body composition can provide a better evaluation of overall health than weight or BMI alone, so it is important to maintain a level of body fat that is neither too low (below 3-5% for men and 8-12% for women), nor too high (above 20-25% for men and 29-35% for women).
A variety of body fat measurement tools exist including calipers and bio-electrical impedance devices, and although some are more accurate and expensive than others, all can help you monitor changes.
Tip: Have a body fat analysis performed to know your starting point, and begin implementing small, healthy diet and exercise changes to improve body composition.
Cardiorespiratory Endurance: Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the body's circulatory and respiratory systems to supply fuel during physical activity. This means being able to sustain an elevated heart rate. Activities like walking, swimming, and bicycling will all lead to improvement, and the good news is that the activity you choose does not necessarily have to be strenuous (at least initially).
Tip: choose an activity you enjoy and start slowly, increasing the intensity and duration over time.
Flexibility: Flexibility is the range of motion around a joint. Maintaining good flexibility helps protect the muscles and joints from injury in all kinds of activity. A basic stretching program, such as 10-15 minutes of light stretching for the upper body, lower body, and core after a workout, may be all you need to improve this oft-neglected fitness component. Yoga and Pilates classes can also add more structure to your flexibility program.
Tip: the key to improving flexibility is to make time for it! Add 10 minutes to the end of your workout to stretch or take 10-minute walking/stretching breaks at work.
Muscular Endurance: Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscle to continue to perform without fatigue. You can improve muscular endurance by doing sustained activities such as walking, swimming, or bicycling. When it comes to weight training, completing longer sets (12-25 repetitions) would be considered working in the endurance range.
Tip: look for opportunities to activate your muscles outside the club. For example, walk to the grocery store and flex those biceps by carrying groceries.
Muscular Strength: Muscular strength is the ability of the muscles to exert force during an activity. Sorry to those of you who want to stick to the treadmill, but this means using your muscles against resistance, whether that comes in the form of a dumbbell, resistance band, or your own body weight against gravity.
Tip: take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do some pushups during TV commercial breaks.
To be truly, "totally fit" we need to focus on all five components of physical fitness. Not only will we be healthier overall, but we will also enjoy the benefits of reduced risk of injury and disease prevention (osteoporosis, diabetes, etc.). The added bonus? Improving any single area of fitness will help the others improve as well.
So what are you waiting for?! What areas of physical fitness are you focusing on right now?
LPGA golfer Stacy Lewis' ability to overcome childhood scoliosis to become one of the game's rising stars is an inspiring story that hits home with Midtown Athletic Club in Windy Hill, Georgia member Heather McNally, a Coca-Cola Planning and Resource Management Director.
Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 10, Heather began to experience debilitating migraine headaches—often up to 20 times per month—in 2003.
But thanks to a connection made by a Chicago neurologist that directly linked Heather's migraines to scoliosis, along with a four-day-a-week fitness regimen at Midtown Athletic Club at Windy Hill, her monthly migraine toll is down to just a few each month.
In desperate search of relief for her headaches, McNally, 41, visited four Atlanta neurologists over an eight-year period. Her quest would eventually lead to Chicago, and her stepmom's recommendation of the Diamond Headache Clinic. It was here where a clinic doctor observed a direct connection between her scoliosis and headaches.
Heather's doctor in Atlanta had prescribed a drug given for epilepsy. While it reduced the migraines, the side effects were unbearable.
"I lost 10 percent of my body weight, my cognitive reasoning was weakened, and I had memory loss," she remembers. "Worst of all, the medication made carbonated beverages taste awful. And that's not good for a woman who works for Coca-Cola."
Her family coordinated an "intervention," insisting that she stop taking the drug. McNally did, but the migraines returned with a vengeance.
It was Diamond Headache Clinic's Alex Feoktistov, M.D., who finally asked the right question.
"He asked if my head hurt when I tilted my neck," McNally recalls. Tests would later help the doctor determine that McNally's headaches were actually caused by stiffness in her neck and upper back—and most likely aggravated by her scoliosis.
Says McNally: "This connection was something that all my doctors previously dismissed."
After talking with her personal trainers at Midtown Athletic Club at Windy Hill, McNally was provided with a four-day training regimen that has been working well. On Monday, for instance, it's Pilates; Tuesday is for strength training (including neck and shoulders); Wednesday is her day for physical therapy; and Thursday is for massage therapy at the club's spa.
Eight months into the program, Heather says that her migraines have virtually disappeared. Her back, she adds, is straighter than it has been in 30 years.
"We all know that physical activity is good for the body," says Dina Casso, Windy Hill's General Manager. "But for Heather, the results have been literally life-changing."
"Many members come to us not only to help them lose weight or firm up areas of their body, but also to help them with debilitating ailments," Casso adds. "We help by designing specific physical fitness programs to help provide our clients with a better quality of life."
McNally wholeheartedly agrees.
"For me, even my personality has changed," she says. "Not living in constant pain has made me a happier person. My family, friends and co-workers have all noticed. If it weren't for Dr. Feoktistov and my great team at Midtown, I can't imagine where I'd be today."

The radical anti-hunting group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), may have reached the pinnacle of absurdity: The group is offering a $1 million dollar prize, to be given to the first scientist to "grow" what's called "In Vitro" meat and successfully bring that "meat" to market by June 30, 2012.
According to recent media reports, scientists are busy making "sheets" of the artificial muscle -- yep, you heard us right, muscle (some are calling it "Shmeet") -- and report that the product actually tastes genuine.
Other than the expected exuberent costs to buy a shmeet of "meat," perhaps the biggest obstacle preventing this bizarre idea from replacing deer meat acquired by deer hunting is the fact that most clear-thinking folks should find the idea of cultured meat weird and disgusting.
So what'll it be D&DH readers: A sheet of shmeet - or good ol' fashioned backstraps?

This little hotel is tucked away down a nest of back alleys, but once you find it, you'll be glad that you did! The courtyard is so quiet compared to... the madness of the alleyways outside, with a pool and lots of room to relax in conjunction with the roof terrace. The rooms are quite small but perfectly reasonable for the price you're paying; you get air con, hot shower etc. The family that own the Riad are very helpful and friendly, giving you breakfast freshly prepared for what ever time you ask for it! I would advise getting a taxi organised by the hotel from the airport as they will take you right to the front door, as you would never find it on your own for the first time! The hotel is around a 25 minute walk from the main square; there are shortcuts through all the alleys, but you are guaranteed to get lost, so just stick to the old wall and follow it round; the hotel will have a map.
