Isolde is described as creative and eager.
From someone who met her: Isolde is lovely. First I thought she couldn't speak when I was there in the summer, 'cause it took her about 3 weeks before she would even say 'thank you.' But then she started to talk more and more. I started to do walking exercises with her. She could hardly stand on her legs by then. I practiced with her everyday and what I noticed is that she is a fighter. She worked so hard. She worked until she was bathing in sweat and totally tired. She wouldn't stop before her legs couldn't hold her anymore. Everyday we could walk further. First just one side of the building and in the end we could easily walk 2 rounds around the building. Though she needs quite some support. After the summer they gave her PT and she was walking way better when I was there in November again. She could walk with one hand then, which was totally impossible for her in the summer. And again she was fighting to learn more, but being inside the building all day would limit her. She is pretty smart too, I played games with her. One of the games was creating a 'picture' with little pins, just copying the example. The physical part of the game was the hardest. So we trained to pick up the pins, put them in and get them out. She is so wonderful! She smiles so sweet. She just stole my hard. In the beginning of the summer she had hardly any muscles in her leg and she was extremely skinny, but during the summer she got more muscles from exercising and in November she was doing even better. I'm so proud of this girl. If she will get the chance, she will reach so much, because she will fight for it. She would do so well in a family, because a family can give her the chance that she deserves and I know she will make the most of it.
Isolde's best friend is Duane; who is also listed for adoption.

Girl, born September 2007
FAS, cognitive delays, anemia, ADD, congenital malformation of ribs NOS: pectus excavatum congenital heart defect: Atrial septal defect
What a little doll! She may be a strawberry blonde? Cara is a sweet little girl with many of the challenges of fetal alcohol syndrome. Facial features, cognitive/academic delays, inattention, and heart condition are all common symptoms of FAS. She previously had a diagnosis of Hep C, but we believe that was preliminary at birth. Families should be aware of this and prepared, but not expect it to be the case. Cara will need to be followed by a cardiologist.
From one of our adoptive families who met her in 2013: Cara seems to be a very bright girl all around. She wanted to sneak out into the room where we were playing with our daughter. They all try When she was told to come in she would quickly sit by our side and say, "but I'm going to sit here nicely and play, I promise." I felt so bad when they would make her come in. She DID play very nicely. She didn't throw any tantrums. We gave her a mini slinkie to keep and she was so excited and said thank you and ran back into the room. Her hair is cut much shorter and she is petite. She got her shoes on and off by herself…and fast when told she could play after her shoes were on. She would really thrive in a family. This region waives the 10 day wait usually too which is extra nice.
Cara is facing transfer this year and urgently needs a family to give her the life and future she deserves. This region often waives the waiting period! Married couples only, older parents and large families OK, travel required.
Gene is described as eager and easygoing.
From someone who met him: To really 'get access' to Gene, you need to try hard. Some days he's living in his own world and it's hard to 'reach' him. But it's worth the effort. I met Gene in the summer, and the other children in the group were all trying to get my attention, Gene wouldn't I tried to give some attention to every child in the group, so also to Gene. It took a while before I could get him out of his own world. I grabbed his hand and just stroke his fingers one at a time. He would look at his fingers, and after doing that for minutes, he would finally look at me. He looked who was stroking his hand.
Still he didn't allow me to touch him more than just stroking his hand. Next day I was wondering if he would still remember me and if I could touch his hand again. I didn't need to ask myself that question, because as soon as I walked in, he came up to me, reaching me his hand. I knew I broke through his wall that kept him safe in his own world. It still took me a while to really 'open him up'. In November I visited his group again, and again it took me a while to 'reach' him. But as I was tickling one of the other boys in his group, he came closer. So I grabbed his hand, to pull him on my lap, next to the other boy, and I tickled him. What happened was amazing! He started to laugh! He laughed out loud, the first time I heard him do that. And he couldn't stop anymore. His laugh was so contagious and so wonderful to hear it. It brought tears to my eyes. He was so open and he wanted me to tickle him more. Next day I could hardly touch him again, which was hard for me, because I wanted to get him out of his own world again. But I found out that I should not lose hope, because it depends on his mood if he will let you touch him. Another day I could tickle him again and he laughed again. This boy just needs more stimulation to stay out of his own world. Because of the lack of stimulation he normally just sits on the ground and rock back and forth. But he is able to walk, to run around and play games. He can have fun and interact with other children. It just takes a little more. This boy is already in the institute for a long time, and this is the price he paid for it.
He desperately needs a family — He needs a family committed to him before his 16th birthday, otherwise he'll be condemned to institution life forever.
Married couples only, large families welcome.
FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), probable secondary CP
Julia has such happy, giant brown eyes and a smile that lights up a room!
From someone who met her: Julia is a girl that I know as the girl with the big smile. Somehow she just seem to smile almost always. She's a little monkey. Whenever somebody enters her group she would crawl up to that person and just start to climb on him/her. She doesn't even need you to give her a hand, she'll just climb up without any help and then she hangs on your neck, looking around, proud, as if she wants to say 'Did you see that? Do you see where I am?'
Her favorite toy is a doll. She plays with it as if it is a baby. Keeping the doll up straight, putting her down carefully. She feeds and clothes the doll. One of the nurses showed her how she should put a cotton diaper on the doll, she totally loved it. She even sings lullabies for the doll and she'll ask visitors to do the same. She also loves to play with long hair. She really tries to make ponytails or braids.
Julia is able to walk, but her legs are really crooked, and she needs help to keep standing or to walk. Julia is described as curious and enthusiastic.
Boy, born Oct 2011 congenital
internal hydrocephalus operated; anemia; protein-energy deficiency
Ezra has had a shunt placed, and is doing better. His adoption may necessitate consultations with medical personnel, to safely transport him home.
From someone who met Ezra in 2013: Ezra is absolutely precious! He is sweet and adorable and oh so lovable! He laughs when his toes are tickled, or when someone around him laughs or talks or sings to him. He often smiles or laughs so hard his chubby cheekers make his eyes close. He ha s learned to blow spit bubbles and coo. It is hard for me to tell if he is able to use his limbs normally, but he is able to move from his back to his side with little or no assistance. He has not yet learned to play with toys, but he has a very strong grip and enjoys holding my finger. I was told he can see, but not very well. I observed his eyes moving rapidly from side to side, and sometimes appearing to be looking in two different directions. In spite of this there were other times in which he appeared to be quite focused and looking right at us. He has absolutely stolen my heart, and I hope that he will find a family that can help him meet his full potential!
These pictures are from May, 2013.
Caius and Anne are in the same orphanage with Ezra.
Large families welcome; married couples only.
Boy, born April 2006
After-effects of traumatic brain injury, brain contusion, right hemiparesis, ptosis, OS
JEFFERSON HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED. He is at the older children's internat.
In May 2011 the boy fell off the third floor and his condition is the result of the injury. He has some vision and speech impairment but he is a very smart and nice boy.
He is still in the orphanage but will be transferred to the institution soon if we don't find him a family fast.
Ezra, Caius and Anne are in the same region with Jefferson.
Girl, born 2004
Unrepaired cleft palate
Kathleen is described as broadminded and cheerful.
From someone who met Kathleen in 2010: Kathleen is a very loving and social little girl who loves getting attention from adults. Whenever I was in her group, she was always right beside me, participating in whatever I was doing and engaging me in her own favorite activities. Kathleen has kept that silly, playfulness that most institutionalized children seem to lose. She was definitely a little mischievous getting into everything, but was also very quick to follow direction and obviously eager to please. I truly believe she would thrive in a family where she was showered with all the attention she deserves and allowed to simply be the fun-loving, silly little girl God created her to be.
From someone who met Kathleen in 2012: Kathleen is a happy little girl who would love to be able to communicate, but cannot because of an unrepaired cleft palate. She makes noises to communicate to the best of her ability. She is a very sweet little girl, and loves to play outside. Many missionaries who have met her loved her and spoke highly of her!
Sullivan is a sweet, loving little boy. He is described as cheerful and curious. The smile on his face when he is being held is absolutely precious! He is not talking, but appears to be very capable of learning sign language to communicate! He loves to play "If you're happy and you know it" and made up a sign for this, clapping his hands together.
Sullivan then quickly learned the ASL sign for more. In addition he has a sign for potty, and drink. He does not go right away to strangers, but wants those he is comfortable around to hold him and play with him. He is not able to stand or walk, but crawls to get around. When hurt by another child he will not attempt to defend himself, but will cry in hopes of someone comforting him. Sullivan is a very sweet boy who would do wonderfully in a family!
BOY, Born August 10, 2005

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.
Boy, born December 1997
Rough mental delay, cerebral palsy spastic tetraparesis, partial atrophy of optic nerves
Barton is a quiet boy. He loves to be outside, staring at the sky, following the birds with his eyes. He loves to feel the wind around his and when there's a leaf on the ground and the wind blows it away, he goes running after it. Barton doesn't make eye contact but he does listen when you speak to him. He doesn't talk, but he when you ask him to do something he will immediately do it, come to you and stand in front of you for a moment. When you say 'well done' he'll continue what he was doing before. Barton sometimes seems to live in his own world. He's not making a lot of social contact with the other children from the group, until somebody turns on the music. He loves music and he will start dancing with the other children of the group.
Barton is fifteen already, so he needs a family fast. He needs a family committed to him before his 16th birthday. This boy can become so much more if he would be supported by a loving family!
Large families welcome, multiple children may be adopted together from the same orphanage. Married couples only; travel required.
Boy, born October 1999
Down syndrome
From someone who met him in 2012:
Dell is just such an adorable boy. I feel blessed that I could spend time with him. Dell has down syndrome, but he is such a smart boy. He totally loves attention! He's a little bit mischievous. He will do something that the nurses told him not to do and then he will look at me or them like 'Did you see what I do?' Some of the nurses are having a hard time with him because of that, but I just think it's wonderful. That kind of behavior tells me that he is acting pretty normal. Which child is not searching for the limits and looking what happens when he crosses them? But his behavior is giving him a hard time in the orphanage he's living in because the nurses are taking care of fifteen children at the time and they just want easy, obedient children. But I think he is adorable and well functioning.
He develops really well. He is healthy boy, well nourished, he talks a lot. He cuddles the little children in the group and carries them around. He loves to play with building blocks and he can make real houses out of them. And he totally loves pictures! He will always put on a really big smile! That smile is so contagious!
Dell is probably the heaviest boy of the group, and that's why the nurses tell him he's too heavy to sit on somebody's lap or be carried around. But Dell loves it to sit on your lap or to be carried around. He loves it when somebody thinks he's not too heavy or too big/tall. He starts laughing and laughing when you pick him up and twirl him. He enjoys messing up long hair and playing peekaboo.
Last summer an adopting family visited his orphanage and Dell was so fond of the adopting couple. Especially the 'daddy'. He really called him daddy and every day when they visited their son, Dell would come running after them, hugging them and just hanging around with them as long as he could, until they left or until the nurses told him to come back. This boy would function so wonderfully in a family!
Large families welcome, multiple children may be adopted together from the same orphanage. Married couples only; travel required.
Boy, born December 1999
Rough mental delay, hydrocephalic syndrome
From someone who met him in 2012: Amos is a wonderful sweet boy! He will do anything you'll ask. In the summer the children will play outside and the more disabled children are sitting in a big box. Everyday he carries out the carpet to put in the box and he will carry out the benches and chairs to sit on as well. When the 'outside-time' is over, he would carry it all back in again. He doesn't really talk, but I'm pretty sure he would be able to. He does make sounds and he loves to 'sing'. While singing he makes sounds that could almost be words, but as long as he's lacking of stimulation, I think he will not talk. He likes to dance around to.
He is a big help for the nurses. When a child has to go to the shower or potty he brings them, when a child falls down, he picks the child up, even without somebody telling him to do that. He is a really social butterfly. He cares about the children around him and I'm sure that he would be an awesome big brother, because that's what he is for the children in his group.
The only self stimulating behavior that I saw in Amos was sticking things in his ears. You can easily distract him from that by offering him a toy. Once he has a toy, he will not be bored, he can play forever with just one toy.

Boy, born January 2002
DS, atrial septal defect, polydactyly of the left hand
Artemur is a handsome boy who has already been waiting far too long for a family of his own!
Large families welcome, multiple children may be adopted together from the same orphanage. Married couples only; travel required.
From someone who met Artemur in 2012: Artemur is aladies man He loves to greet visitors with a formal "Hello", a chair for the visitor to sit on, and for the ladies he'll kiss their hands and sometimes request a kiss by pointing to his cheek. He has ten toes and ten fingers, and appears healthy. He is one of the two highest functioning boys in his group and is a big helper. He is quite verbal, and he has good self-care skills, he is able to feed himself and ask to use the restroom. He likes to play with etch a sketches, toy phones, and bubbles. Artemur would probably do better in a family environment where he can be the youngest in the family.

She likes to play, tries to walk alone, but needs assistance. She doesn't speak, but understands much.
From someone who met her in 2012:
When I walked into the room packed with children, her smile and wave and joy stood out more than all the chaos and heartbreak and noise. She was a darling and I just know she would be amazing to have as a daughter.
Born December 1999
Diagnosis: cerebral palsy and down syndrome
From someone who met him in 2012:
Emil was the gentlest child ever! Unable to talk but the pleading in his eyes killed me! He grabbed my finger and wouldn't let go…what a grip! He also got really hit a few times by others wanting my attention, he didn't retaliate but fell in a heap and moved away, only to return when the coast was clear. I would love to see this child in a nurturing environment!
Emil is able to walk.

Girl, May 20, 2006
Tatiana was born with FAS, but her medical records do not indicate any additional medical complications. She is also HIV positive.
Tatiana is the younger sister of Trudy and Tristan. All three children can be adopted together or separately; they are currently in the same region, but in different orphanages. We hope to find a family where they can stay together!
She is facing transfer to an older child internat very soon, but she can still be adopted from there. Would rather see her in a family! She has been waiting SO long.
From an adoptive family who met her in summer 2011: Tatiana is a sweetheart, and she wants a mama so badly. When we'd go to get our kids, she kept asking "And Tania? And Tania?" She would sob when we would leave her with the groupa. Out of all the kids there, she was the only that I saw playing pretend – eating pretend food, taking care of baby dolls. She is very emotionally fragile, and she seems to get overwhelmed. She is very small and thin. She has big blue eyes, and she desperately wants to be held and cuddled.
From an adoptive family who met her in November 2012:
Tatiana was described by the orphanage director as very beautiful, and she truly is. She was also very enthusiastic when answering questions. She was asked if she has friends and she replied "Da" with her whole body, "Tania have lots of friends". It was completley adorable. We had given her a pony that moved around on it's own, and she kept saying "come to Tania, come to Tania". The biggest hit was the ball that lights up when you bounce it. She would have chased that ball all day! She has a deep voice for such a little girl which I found endearing. It was so ironic, because she is so little and feminine. She has issues with her eyes. Nothing was mentioned in her medical about it. When she turns her head to look at something her eyes bounce around as they try to catch up. She laughs inappropriately, and is very emotional. Has mood swings. Does not understand many simple questions. Her answers did not match the questions, or was unintelligible. She is in constant motion.
From an adoptive family who met her in July 2013:
Precious Tatiana is so dainty and beautiful! I just spent a few minutes with her groupa, and thought she did well in the group setting. She did talk with me a little and spoke like a younger child. She is the big helper and the leader of the groupa, and I think that's why she hasn't been transferred yet. She gets partnered up with a little girl who has some global delays and difficulty walking, because she is like a big sister, encouraging and directing her to keep up. We brought cars to share with the groupa, and I didn't see her at first. She was patiently waiting her turn while the other children were grabbing and pushing for a chance to get one (who could blame them?). A few days ago, I saw her carrying a trash bin of juice boxes to the dumpster with another little boy. You could tell it was a big treat for them to get to do the big grown-up job! When the little boy tripped and dropped the juice boxes, she didn't shout, she just bent over and picked them up. She is really a child who deserves a chance to shine.

Girl, born September 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.
Girl, born December 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 December 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 June 2005

Boy, born
November 2000
Down syndrome, neurodystrophy, psychological and motor development disorder, alalia
From someone who met Duane in 2012:
Sweet little Duane is the huggiest boy I've ever met! He is a determined, strong willed little guy and is up walking and chasing after balls despite some mild CP on his left side that causes his left knee to extend backwards in a painful looking manner. He has an amazing laugh, though it is sometimes a mischievous laugh. He sometimes feels the need to push boundaries, such as throwing balls at the other children, but he is a boy with a lot of love to give, both to the adults and the other kids in his group. He also sometimes gives massages. I feel he would especially thrive in a house where he is the youngest, or at least the smallest child in the home.
Duane's best friend is Isolde; they could be adopted together.
Boy, born 2008
Boy, born December 2003
Diagnosis: mental delays, CP, tetraparesis, microcephaly, autism

He has TREMENDOUS potential and is waiting for his forever family! Please don"t let him go to a mental institution- this little one needs a family!
Girl, born July 2005
Diagnsis: mental delays, light degree tetraparesis (CP)
Miss Nadene is 7 years old and has regressed greatly in the orphanage; she came here in 2010. 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!

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.
Boy, born January 2007
CP, mental delays, convergent squint, dysontogenetic cardiopathy, partial atrophy of optic nerve
Another crib baby- this little guy is 5 years old and spends much of his time in his crib. He has significant special needs and could greatly use the love of a family! He was cared for by his mother until early this year (April 2012). He has CP, mental delays, convergent squint, dysontogenetic cardiopathy, partial atrophy of optic nerve.
Boy, born September 2006
Mental delays, dysontogenetic cardiopathy, convergent squint, umbilical hernia.
Braden lived with his mother until her death before entering the orphanage last year (2011). You can tell he was LOVED and taken care for. He is doing quite well compared to many of the other children which is attributed to being in a family versus institution. Who knows how much he could improve with the love of a family! He also has a caregiver he has attached to.
He is a mobile child and very active. He tries to walk himself. He understand what most people are talking about but he can't talk in sentences. He can pronounce some words. He can't service himself, need assistance to eat. He tries to hold a spoon in his hands. He recognizes his caregivers and can follow simple instructions. These are all GOOD things!
Update June 2013:
Braden is a very sweet little guy. He is very controlled in his movement and behavior. He understands what you say to him and he responds to directions. He comes highly recommended for adoption by his orphanage as they have seen much progress and potential for him.
Boy, born May 2003
Mental delays, CP, spastic tetraparesis. Speech, motoric, physical development delays; functional cardiopathia, convergent squint
Another smiler! He has significant delays and has potential to thrive in a family! As all children in this orphanage he is living on borrowed time.

Boy, born March 2005
DS: Mental delays, CP, epilepsy, Congenital cerebral cysts. Cardiopathia. Inguinal undescended testis. Bronchiectatic disease.
Sweet Kent is often in his crib but look at that smile! He too lived with his parents for a brief period before they lost rights. Because of his diagnoses he is not cared for properly and could use the love and medical attention a family could offer.
Girl, born October 2007
Birth anomaly brain development, microcephaly with tetraparesis, convulsive syndrome. Mental delays. Convergent squint. Partial optic atrophy. Umbilical hernia.
Oh sweet Vera! She is only 4 years old and has been in this orphanage since spring. 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!
Mental delays; consequence of hard degree closed head injury (brain contusion) with tetraparesis. Symptomatic temple epilepsy. Immunity form of idiopathic jaundice. Middle degree anemia. Dysontogenetic cardiopathy
Mr. "V" is 7 years old but looks much younger. As all of these children in this orphanage they NEED families to come adopt them. When the children get older they will be transferred to adult mental institutions (at young ages!) and there will be LITTLE to NO chance of adopting them.
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!
Boy, born May 2006
Anomaly of brain development with low flail legs, psychomotor and speech development. Protein deficiency anemia. Defect after birth right side cleft lip, soft and hard palate.
Handsome 6 year old Galvin could use a family very badly. He spends most of his days in the bouncy seat and crib. Who knows what his potential could be! 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!
Girl, born March 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 January 2002
She has moderate mental delays
What a beautiful smile!
Currently Tatumn lives in school orphanage. She is very friendly and easy-going.
Girl, born Aug. 1999
Diagnoses: arthrogryposis; mental delay
Aubree is very active, easy-going, and friendly. Currently, she lives in a special school-orphanage.
From one of our adoptive families who visited with her in August 2012: She truly is a ray of sunshine! She comes out to greet us in her wheelchair (she has good upper body strength, her legs are fixed straight out in front of her and are tiny. She doesn't appear to have AMC in her upper limbs at all. She is extremely friendly and happy, she enjoys singing and dances in her wheelchair. She can also use her upper body strength to scoot around the floor. I am so excited that she is available because I know she will be a wonderful daughter if just given a chance. This girl just exudes love and happiness! The orphanage does provide the children with an education, and even music instruction. We were able to see Aubree perform in a concert that the children gave for their visitors (they have help from humanitarian groups that come in to work on the building and work with the children). If anyone asks about her, I would love to talk with them more about the orphanage and the children there. They have my heart!
Update June 2013:
Aubree is a happy, loving, and well-adjusted little girl. She is popular in her groupa and loves to talk to people and attend the Montessori program at her orphanage. That being said, she is a child you don't want to turn your back to. She can be very aggressive, and bites, pinches, and hits you when she wants attention or is jealous. She is also very dominant and wants to have your attention at all times, which is difficult when there are other children in the room. While she is very smart, I believe she has some mental delay, though how much of this is due to being raised in an orphanage environment is unclear. She was thrilled when I told her a lot of people loved her and were praying for her, and in the right family she would do very well. It would be best if she were the youngest or only child in a family in my opinion, so she can have all the attention she deserves.
Boy, born October 1999
Down syndrome, significant mental delays
This handsome young man has waited a long time for a family of his own!
Update June 2013:
Collier is a sweet little guy who just wants to be loved. He looks like he's about 2 or 3, despite being almost 14 years old. He always keeps trying to find food, and is somewhat of a bottomless pit – I fed him lunch and a candy bar and he was still trying to take food from the other children. He attaches to you very quickly. He would not let go of me when I was in the room and was always trying to go outside on walks. When I picked him up, he would always giggle and smile. Collier would be a most precious son.
Girl, born January 2005
Anophthalmos (absence of eyes)
What a sweet little girl! She is walking independently.
Married couples only, large families welcome!
Update June 2013:
Don't let Cambria's pictures fool you. She is happy and full of life. Usually, she is stuck in bed for her own safety, as the nannies are afraid she could fall or run into something and hurt herself. When I took her out, she was able to walk, run, and dance to the music playing on the TV in the room. She loves dancing! She started laughing when I clapped my hands in front of her face and when I sneezed. She is an absolutely angelic little girl. While I do believe she has some institutional autism, she would be a joy in any family, and with love and proper care will thrive.

Ginger & Jamie (twins)
Fraternal Twins, born August 2007
Ginger and Jamie are 5 years old and waiting for their forever family. They are fraternal twins and can only be adopted together as siblings.
Both children have significant effects from fetal alcohol syndrome. Both of them are very social and friendly. They deserve to be in a family who can care for them!! Both children are cognitively delayed, with vision issues as well.
Ginger (left): brown hair and big blue eyes! severe congenital myopia, organic affection of the central nervous system, nanism of somatic genesis, mental retardation
Jamie (right) brown hair and brown eyes: organic affection of the central nervous system, congenital hypotheriosis, severe myopia, mental retardation.
From a family who met them in 2012:
They were [children] I wanted to remember. We met them both on several occasions during our outside visits. Ginger was all over my hubs, tugging, pulling, hitting, and climbing all over him. To say she wanted attention from him is an understatement. She had lots of energy and always wanted me to pick her up. She always wanted me to hold her hand too! We went on several walks together. She's a spitfire for sure! Jamie was a lovely little boy. He was always so helpful to the younger kids in their groupa. He loved to push the others on their bikes and was a big help to the nannies. They're both available and would thrive with lots of love, structure, and attention. I'd be happy to share our experience if any one is interested!
Married couples only. Large families and older parents welcome. Travel required.

Kanani has been transferred!
Lovely Kanani needs a family to help her reach her full potential.
From a family who met her in May 2012:
Large families welcome; travel required.Kanani is very sweet girl. She is well cared for in a good orphanage by caring nannies. She gets lots of outside time when it's warm out but this time is spent lying down in the stroller as she can't sit on her own. She can hold on to your fingers and seems to just love to have attention although with her eye troubles it is difficult for her to respond. She likes to have her cheek stroked and her hand held. She is quite stiff and in need of physiotherapy and most of all love and attention. We were told that she will be transferred to an institution very soon unless a family is found as children at this orphanage are typically transferred at age 4.
Cerebral palsy, spastic low paraparesis, retinopathy

Boy, born 1999
Down syndrome; infantile cerebral paralysis
Randall is a handsome young man who likes to play outside, and is described as gentle with others. He is a sunny, cheerful boy, who also enjoys arts and crafts. He's non-verbal, but is curious and open-hearted.
From a family who met him in summer 2012:
It took us a few days to really get to know Randall. He was not seeking out all the attention that some of the others were. He was content to swing and sing to himself while waiting patiently for someone to kick a soccer ball with him. Oh how he loves to kick a soccer ball.
He is such a kind gentle boy. He would patiently wait to ask to look through our photobooks. Unlike some of the others he was happy to just look – he didn't need extra attention while looking through it. He was the most careful with the books always being sure to return them safely.
He has some speech issues. He talks and sings but is hard to understand. I think just before we left he was taken for surgery on his palate which may be why he has speech issues.
In addition to swinging and kicking the soccer ball he loves crafts (stringing tiny beads and coloring) He loved the electronic toys we brought – remote control helicopter and translator. But unlike many of the others he always waited his turn, was careful with the items and always gave it to the next boy when his time was up!
Unfortunately Randall is older – his time is running out!! It's a pretty easy region – the 10 day wait has been waived in the past – and the boys are taken care of.

Sweet Anne, all dolled up for her picture!
She does have some general delays, and is not yet independent with potty training. She would greatly benefit from being in a family!
From a family who met her in April 2013:
Anne is walking independently. She can go up and down steps with help. She smiles a lot. She likes to drop toys and watch them fall. She appears to be connected to her caregiver and goes to her for comfort. She liked a music/light up toy but needed guidance to activate it. She appears pretty cognitively delayed, and doesn't have any verbal language. I see a lot of progress in her with the right family and interventions!
Caius and Ezra are in the same orphanage with Anne.
Married couples only, travel required.

Girl, born November 1998
Down syndrome
Mama, are you out there? Please come get me! We are so happy for the chance to help sweet Greta find her family.
Greta is very petite; more the size of a 5 year old than the 13 year old she actually is. Developmentally, she is quite delayed, probably closer to a 3-4 year old. In many ways, she is toddler like. Greta is missing out on the essential things in life- a mama and daddy to teach her the things she needs to know, school lessons to maximize her potential for learning, and hope for a future.
From a family who visited with her in September 2012: "Greta desperately desires to be loved and shown affection. It broke our hearts to see how desperate she was for attention. She would climb up us before we even knew what was happening and was clinging to us. She probably needs to go to a family that can devote a lot of one on one attention to her, and that she be the youngest child, because she can get aggressive when she is jealous for attention. I hope this helps her find a family."
From a family who visited with her in August 2012: "Love Greta! She climbed over the playpen wall to hug on me. She's walking now, thanks to a team of foreign therapists who worked in that groupa. She has so much potential- but needs a lot of love and a family! I just know there has to be a family out there for this thin, wiry little girl, a family who likes to play and be energetic "
More photos available! Married couples only. Large families and older parents welcome. *** Families with adoptive experience and a completed home study would be the best option for Miss Greta. ***
Girl, Born December 2001
Oh what a miracle, to have an updated photo of Katrina!!! And there is the light I knew had to be there! She doesn't realize it, but now that she has a profile here on Reece's Rainbow, Katrina has a CHANCE…a chance for a new life, a family of her own, to get out of these four walls and to have something to smile about.
From her medical records: Down syndrome, significant cognitive delay (coupled with FAS), flatfoot, partial atrophy of optic nerves, esotropia, secondary cardiomyopathy.
From a missionary who visited with her in March 2012: Oh my heart…I so wanted to bring her home! She is a giggly soft hearted darling…she needs a mama!
Katrina and Tania can be adopted together if a family is approved and interested. 10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.
Boy, born Dec 2008
Eric is a smiley little fellow who likes to feel his caretaker's heartbeat or pulse, because it comforts him. He would be a wonderful little brother in a household of older children.
Eric has arthrogryposis and compensated hydrocephalus. He has had a surgical repair of spina bifada. Overall, he is healthy and would do well in a family without smaller children. His upper body is quite strong and he has full use of his hands, fingers and arms, but he has little control or movement in his lower limbs and they are significantly smaller than his upper body. He can squeeze very tightly with his hands, and reach a full arm's length with no problems even though his resting position is the one you see in the pictures. He does not talk, according to the caretakers but does make sounds to communicate. Cognitively, he has significant delays due to his history of spina bifida and hydrocephalus. He is very much still an infant in many ways.
The picture in the orange shirt was taken at age 18 months, and the second picture was taken at 3 years old. He may have a sister a few years older in a different region who possibly could also be available for adoption or he could be adopted separately. She also has special needs.
Boy, born Oct 2004
This young man has a deep mental delay, and cerebral palsy.
From a family who met him in 2011:
Sweet Francis needs a family. He does not currently sit up, but I think he probably could if he were given an opportunity to be out of his chair and get stronger. Overall, Francis seems to be physically healthy, aside from his CP. I suspect his cerebral palsy
affects his upper and lower body. He is very tight. More concerning is his emotional well being. Francis does not get much mental stimulation or interaction, outside of his immediate basic needs. The caregivers are kind and do love him, but are unsure what to do with him. He gets good basic care. He is fed and is clean. He is not left in a crib. He sits in his orange chair all day long. I tried to talk to Francis and touch him. He is very uncomfortable with touch, but he has the sweetest blue eyes and I know that the right family could draw this little boy out of his shell. Please someone, take a chance on Francis. He will thrive with the proper care and stimulation.
Boy, born November 2002
Leonard is so handsome! Growing well, and is blessed to be in a boarding SCHOOL for children with special needs, not an adult mental institution. He has Down syndrome, but no other medical conditions listed at this time. He is said to be very quiet, friendly and cheerful.
Hope someone will see this darling boy and give him the chance he deserves to have a loving family of his own. Married couples only. Older parents and large families welcome. Travel required.

This dear boy is listed as having "childhood autism" — if it is truly autism or autistic behaviors due to orphanage life and his other special needs, we really don't know.
He is said to have encephalopathy (unspecified disease of the brain), Childhood autism, and moderate mental delays.
He also has vision problems: Convergent concomitant strabismus (crossing eyes) and hypermetropia (far-sighted); and is said to be anemic.

Boy, born March 2003
Diagnosis: Down syndrome
Ohhh, bright sun!
This handsome little guy has eyes that cross, so an opthamologist visit will be in order when he gets home. He's looks pretty small for his age! Doesn't he look like he needs a Mama to scoop him up & snuggle?
Dylan can be adopted with COLLIER!
Update June 2013:
Dylan is an energetic, smart, and goofy little boy. Physically, he looks about 5 or 6 years old, but has the attitude of a teenager. He can be extremely aggressive – he shoved other children out of the way when I was holding them to try and get to me and hits other children. I can't tell you how many times he headbutted me in the face. But he can also be very loving – one of the other missionaries was crying and he just sat in her lap and hugged her until she stopped. Dylan is also very smart. When he wanted to go outside, I told him he had to have shoes on…I didn't expect him to go bring his shoes to me! He also has an extensive vocabulary and loves his Montessori classes at the orphanage.
Boy, born September 2004
Cerebral paulsy, spastic diplegia, mental delay, epileptic syndrome, crossed eyes.
Look at the bright smile on this handsome boy! Kristopher has cerebral palsy and is cross-eyed, but would do so well in a family of his own!
Update from someone who met him in summer 2013:
Kristopher is one of those wise old souls. He is very intelligent and loves it when adults come and visit him. He's also quite the charmer – the head of Child Services for the region was so charmed with him she gave him a life-sized stuffed crocodile for a present! Kristopher loves his classes at the orphanage and always strives to please the teacher, and he has many friends. He also loves music – one of the other missionaries let him play with her harmonica the first day and every day after that he asked for "the thing that blows". He has some strabismus and gets around well in his wheelchair. The director would love for a family to adopt him, and she says he would do well.
Kristopher can be adopted with Collier, Dylan, Cambria, Aubree, and Tatumn. He and Collier are in the same groupa.
Tessa (Lora)
Girl, born August 2008
We were recently informed LORA is actually Tessa!
What a little doll Tessa is! She really needs a family — she has a whole host of medical issues.
Mental delay, rickets, strabismus (crossed eyes), epilepsy, and a speech delay. She does not talk at all. She prefers to be alone. Some of her behaviors remind autism but she was not diagnosed with it. Her epilepsy is well controlled by medications. It has been suggested that Tessa may have Angelman Syndrome, but this is not confirmed.
She is able to stand and walk independently. She does not have a diagnosis of CP but she walks unsteadily. She was previously diagnosed with microcephaly.
She deserves a loving family and a chance to reach her potential, not to be hidden away in a mental institution.
Cate was born in November, 2002
Isn't she lovely? Cate is said to be a very nice girl who desperately needs a family.
Cate has heart issues, and her diagnoses are as follows: discordant atrioventricular junction, corrigent transposition of magistral vessels, coronary-left ventricle fistula, complete atrioventricular heart block
Cate does have some facial features of FAS, families considering her adoption should be educated on the spectrum effects of fetal alcohol syndrome and the challenges of adopting older children.
Raymond has arthrogryposis, and optic nerve atrophy, and he is cross- eyed. He desperately needs a family to care for him and help him reach his full potential! If Raymond is not adopted, he's destined for a life in bed, with little outside stimulation.
She is said to be independant and active, and she especially loves to swing. She is shy with other children, and seeks attention from adults, cuddling up when hugs and affection are available.
From her medical records: Down syndrome, esotropia, flatfoot, secondary cardiomyopathy.
From a missionary who visited with her in March 2012: One time the care giver made her sit with other children she was so desperate for me all to herself shecried! she really didnt want to share me. This is seriously one child who wants a Mama! She seemed so bright, there is so much potential here being wasted. She whacked the other children to keep them away from me but I could tell she was not an aggressive child. Tania is fiesty and able and just desperate for love! I loved her!!! I wanted to bring her and Katarina home. Tania is always active and she loves playing with her swing set, unlike the other kids who rather just play with their toys. The child is a bit shy around the children of her age. However, she is very brave and courageous when dealing with new visitors. The girl suffers from a lack of motherly care and gentleness, so she is attracted to everyone who is nice and kind to her. She hides her lonely soul behind the wall of her active and independent lifestyle. But as soon as she receives a warm hug and a little love, the mischievous girl suddenly becomes docile and calm.
Girl, born March 2007
URGENT: FACING IMMINENT TRANSFER to the INSTITUTION
Harriet has a cleft hard and soft palate. She has many facial features of fetal alcohol syndrome, please research this condition as a preparation for her needs. There are several children in this orphanage who could be adopted together!
From an adoptive family who visited with her in Jan 2012:
Jordan is waving hello!
He has Down syndrome, and he seems very tiny for his age. The other picture we have of him, he is lying down — we have no other information about him, but it is possible he is not yet walking.
This sweet boy would thrive in a family!
This beautiful boy has hydrocephaly. He's already three years old, and would obvsiously benefit from excellent medical care.
mild mental delays
Troy has been transferred to the local Internat. He is listed as having a mild mental delay. (His eyes look odd here because of the red eye reduction used on the photograph.)
Troy does not speak, but understands speech addressed to him.
Troy could be adopted with Sammy and Garrett.
From a family who met him in 2012:
The profile says he is non-verbal and that is true, he did not talk at all while I was there. However he was extremely gentle, kind, and had a very sweet demeanor. I took bubbles one day and all the kids mobbed me wanting to play, Troy just stood there patiently smiling at me and waiting his turn. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. He would sit next to me at the table and would stare very sweetly at me and when I would make eye contact he would put his arms out to give me a hug. I do not know about his cognitive ability because I just did not get to spend enough time with him but he did understand the instructions he was given by his teacher and care taker at the boarding school with no problems, obeying them and following all their instructions (with a smile on his face). Physically he had no problems. I do not know if his lack of speech is due to trauma or an actual inability to form words. I will absolutely never forget how gentle and loving he was, he lives to be hugged and he loved what little one-on-one attention I was able to give him. He was so patient and kind to the other kids. A family would be blessed to have this precious boy as their son!

Or we could shift Kos and play Vermaelen. Either would work.
Preferred Lineup
Jenkinson Mertesacker Koscielny Monreal
Flamini Vermaelen
Walcott Wilshere Rosicky
Subs: Fabianski, Gibbs, Sagna, Wilshere, ...
Do any of you guys believe that rumor that Jose loaned out Lukaku so he could score against Chelsea's title rivals? Looks to me like he could have gotten quite...
A win tomorrow means we will stay top of the table regardless of what happens in our next two matches against City and Chelsea.
So excited right now. Only if the scores hold at 2-2 and 1-1 *fingers crossed*
Korea might actually have a chance. The draw gods have been rather kind to us.
So for me, it's pretty clear now that the title contenders are us, Chelsea, and City. I dare not make any prediction on the eventual winner.
And then top 4 co...
South Korea!! :)
No I think Giroud will play all three next week, but I would expect Ramsey and Ozil to sit out against Napoli for the double defensive Flamini-Arteta and Rosick...
The big unknown factor is Sanogo - we really haven't seen him at all. I'm not sure how big Wenger is thinking about him in our first team plans.

What a difference a few days can make. Until Friday morning, Discovery Channel's "American Guns" was generally regarded as a popular, not especially complicated show about the travails of a family of gun sellers. In the aftermath of the devastating murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the show's become a symbol of our culture's fraught but durable love affair with guns. After hundreds of Facebook users besieged the show's page, calling for its end, they got their wish: The network has canceled the show. [Source]

Wegmans has appeared on the FORTUNE list every year since the list was first published in 1998, and has been ranked among the top 10 for 11 consecutive years. Wegmans is one of only 13 companies that have been on this list since it began in 1998.
"Our employees are the number one reason our customers shop at Wegmans," says CEO Danny Wegman. "I'm convinced there is only one path to great customer service, and that is through employees who feel they are cared about and empowered."
Fortune partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America: 259 firms participated in this year's survey. More than 277,000 employees at those companies responded to a survey created by the institute, a global research and consulting firm operating in 45 countries around the world. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third is based on responses to the institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, methods of internal communication, training, recognition programs, and diversity efforts.
