Teamwork Tuesday - Stacy

Stacy

Bet she'd be pretty with long hair... She needs a family so she can get out of that crib.  At least she can look at the window, but that's not much to get a five year old through the day.

Girl, born October 2006

What a little doll!  Stacy has already been transferred to the institution, she needs a family quickly.  She is tiny and needs to come home!

These new photos were taken through the window by one of our adopting families.  "Oh my goodness, is someone looking at me?  Is that my mama?  Could it be?  Oh….no.  Why do I get my hopes up?   :(  "

Stacy is in a region where the 10 day wait is often waived.  Married couples only, large families and older parents welcome.  Stacy can be adopted with several of our other children.

Teamwork Tuesday - Sophia

Sophia K. 15H

This cutie just turned four - this is a pretty recent photo.  Such pretty blonde hair.  An "oval window" means an open patent ductus arteriosus.  This is a common minor heart defect that often goes away by itself, and if not, is surgically corrected  using a catheter (meaning no open heart surgery; it's an outpatient procedure).

Miss Sophia is a real doll baby too!   She was born with an oval window, and she does have some strabismus, but she is growing well and is a happy and content child.

FACING IMMINENT INSTITUTIONALIZATION

Preston is an orphanage favorite!    He is  6 now and needs a family of his own.  He does have a  heart condition, but he is active and doing well despite this.  His adenoids and tonsils are enlarged (very common) and should probably be removed.

Teamwork Tuesday - Arina P

Arina P. 13G

Arina has been listed for a long time, without anyone inquiring about her.  She has a pretty good size fund now, but I think the awful picture puts people off.  I'm sure this is not how she really looks - I have some pretty awful pictures of my kids too, but mostly I get people telling me how cute they are.  It's hard when one's whole impression of a child comes down to one photo that someone took with their cellphone.

Date of Birth: May 31, 2006
Gender: Female
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dark
Nature: Calm

This beautiful Arina needs a mama to love her and help he ber all she can be. She has dark hair and dark eyes. She does not have a heart condition, but her medical records indicate she has some kind of bacterial *difference* in her kidneys. She is allergic to eggs, citrus fruit, and red vegetables. Her kidney dysfunction may be a reaction to eating these items. She will need to be seen by a specialist when she gets home. She is also farsighted and will need corrective glasses. But she is SO beautiful and so deserving of a family to call her own!

SINGLE MOMS WELCOME! FULL MEDICAL INFO AVAILABLE!

Teamwork Tuesday - Heath

Heath

Heath has been listed on Reece's Rainbow for years now.   He really needs a family!  Fortunately Leah  just held a big fundraiser for him, so now he has some money in his grant fund.  Total costs in his country (to the best of my knowledge) are around $25-$28,000, so the the $3500 he has is a good start. 

Boy, Born April 8, 2001
Heath is a sweet little boy who desperately needs a family.    
Heath is a ten year old boy with Down Syndrome. He is tiny in stature. His feet hardly reach the edge of his shared wheelchair. Because of his age, he has already been transferred from the stimulating environment of his baby house to a dull and underfunded mental institute for boys ages 6-18. He is no longer the youngest boy in his group, but he is certainly among the smallest.
Heath is not a recent transfer. He has lived in the stifling boredom of institution life for a long time. He has lost the vivacity of life at the baby houses. In his three years at the institute, he has been given nothing of his own. He has not seen a book or a toy. He has never been gathered into anyone's loving arms. He is a very lonely little fellow in desperate need of love and comfort.
We have few other details on Heath. He has been seen in a wheelchair, so he may not be able to walk. We don’t know if or how well he talks, or any other details on his medical condition. We do know that he is a cute, chubby-cheeked, dirty and neglected lonely little lost boy who needs a mother more than almost anyone else in the world.
If you would like to learn more about Heath from a family who met him at his present institute, please follow these links:
