Angel BOYS

There is a very special joy that boys bring to life.  Unfortunately, they are often the last ones to be chosen for adoption.  We so hope you will find YOUR new son right here at the end of Reece's Rainbow.

Georgie

Boy, Born December 9, 2003

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Oh gracious, this little one has already stolen my heart.  He reminds me SO much of my Reece!

Georgie is already 4 1/2 and facing institutionalization very soon.  We need a committed family for him right away.  Georgie has brown hair and brownish/green eyes.   Looks at his smile, and his eyes just glow!  He is healthy, happy, social, and high functioning.  He is very active and playful and loving!   Georgie will be the perfect addition to any family!!

Georgie DOES have Down syndrome, but it is likely that he also has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), in addition to his DS.

Slava

BOY, born November 11, 2005

Slava DOES have Down syndrome, but he is also HIV positive, so we are including him on this Other Angels page as well for the greatest opportunity to find a family.

Slava is a handsome young man who is waiting for his "forever family".  He has sandy blonde hair and dark blue eyes.   This is not a great picture, but I bet he has a heart of gold and a smile that can light up a room!!  At 13 months, he was able to sit up by himself, but wasn't crawling yet.   He is almost 3 years old now and is walking and getting around on his own just fine!  He is young enough where he can really benefit from early intervention therapy once he gets home.

Slava is also HIV positive.     He has been tested recently and is still testing positive.  We are unsure if he is taking any medication for this, as the meds can cause a false positive.  We are hoping to learn this soon.  Most children who test positive for HIV at birth are sent to isolated orphanages and are never cleared for international adoption, so Slava has had God's hand on him to keep him in a loving orphanage with healthy children so far!    He is ASYMPTOMATIC at this time.  Please give Slava the opportunity to have a family!

Slava is available for adoption NOW.

Randy

Boy, Born August 17, 1996

Asia

Randy is a very special child with immense potential with a loving family!   He is almost 12 years old now.  His birth family has quite a painful and sad history (available for adoptive families but won't be printed here).  He his totally healthy and active and is developing well cognitively, but he has moderate hearing lossin both ears and a speech impairment because of it.  He struggled a lot early on, but since he was given a hearing aid, his whole world has opened up for him.  He attends a special school for the deaf, and is studying sign lanugage.  he recives speech therapy, but has been diagnosed with apraxia and delayed expressive and receptive skills due to his lack of hearing for so long.

Randy has lived in several orphanages and facilities in his short life, so he will need a family who is experienced with these transitions.  He has not been diagnosed with RAD, but he needs a loving family who can help him through a difficult transition when he gets home.  He has no concept of "permanance".  He does not show any ill behaviors to warn families about, but just his general life experiences will demand an experienced family of older adopted children.

Randy is offered through a very stable and well-established program, with easy family and travel requirements, and relatively low cost.    Full medical and social history is available.  We are so excited to have this new program open, and hope to find a family for Randy  very quickly!

Vance

Boy, Born January 2005

Eastern Europe

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Vance is 3 1/2 years old with blonde hair and giant brown eyes. He is a favorite with his caregivers, and is described as a happy, loving, affectionate, friendly, active little boy.  He is diagnosed with a global delay, meaning "cause unknowns".  He is not speaking yet, but with therapy and a loving family, he is going to talk circles around you some day!  He is quite self-sufficient, and is doing most things a typical 3 1/2 year old boy might be able to do.  He is very active, he runs and jumps and climbs....he eats by himself and tries to dress himself.

Marjan

Boy, Born June 28, 2001

Eastern Europe

Marjan is a sweet little boy!  He has mild global delays.  He has struggled since before birth.  Marjan was born a twin at 32 weeks gestation.  His twin died shortly after birth.    His apgar score at 1 minute was only 1, and 3 at 5 minutes.  Despite these early problems, Marjan is doing so well!  He is developing well, as he is living with a foster family instead of in the institutional orphanage setting.  But he will really take off in a loving, forever, adoptive family, with access to proper early intervention, special education and medical care.  He needs a family who believes in him!

Nikola

Boy, Born 2001

Eastern Europe

Nikola is a sweet, loving little boy (despite this bothered scowl!) who has been living in the orphanage since birth.   He has brown hair and brown eyes.  He was born with CP, partial epilepsy, and nystagmus.

Nick is receiving antiepileptic drug therapy, and is doing well.  The muscle tone in his arms and legs has increased, and his muscle strength is normal.  On both hands you can see dystonic movements/involuntary movements and prolonged muscle contraction.  He walks unsteadily with a wide base gait.  He can make about 20 steps without support, and is quite skillful in various motor activities.

Nick is now 5yrs 6 months old, and is distinguished by a neat and sweet appearance. He is open hearted at all times (very giving and loving), distinctively interested in his world around him, and loves the attention and affection of his caregivers and adults.  His motor and cognitive actions are generally more difficult and slower because of his CP, but he uses his body, arms and legs very well to get around and explore his world.  He has a good attention span and he likes to do spontaneous exercise attempts.  Of course, his speech abilities are diminished but he needs and enjoysverbal and nonverbal communication with others.  He uses babbling, some simple words, and is trying to connect two words in simple sentence.  He will really blossom with therapy, just imagine his potential!

Although his intellectual capacity is significantly diminished to the level of moderate mental retardation, supported by good adoptive home-family life and special education programs, he might be advanced and relieved of some developmental difficulties up to the level of mild mental retardation.  Nikola is successful in the training process of elementary self care: feeding, toilet needs, dressing, escaping dangers.  He is truly  recommended and will really thrive in a family environment!

Srecko

Boy, Born January 29, 2003

Eastern Europe

Srecko is a 4 year old little boy with brown hair and eyes.  He is moderately mentally delayed. He has spastic weakness of the right side of his body. He is very darling boy, with a very good nature.  He can walk without support. He can also run, but only on the flat surfaces.  Physical therapy can help him overcome this challenge. His speech is very delayed.  He tries to imitate his peers, but according to his abilities. He has good emotional potentials and loves the contact and attention of adults.  He is responsive to attention and loves to be held.  He is receiving regular physical therapy and is working with a speech pathologist.

Srecko deserves a loving family who can shower him with love and get him the therapy and education he needs to realize his true potential.

From our facilitator in April 2008:    "This is a new photo of Srecko.  He is really a very cute boy.  He is receiving physical therapy every day, and is cooperating very well, although the exercises are very hard for him.  He is calm and sweet boy.  Despite of his physical disability he is following the children from the group very well.  He is doing well in the backyard.   He can do lots of things there by himself, like swinging, driving tricycle ...He loves to go for a walk, and he is doing this without any problems.  He likes to play with ball, to play some instruments.  He asks for the attention of the adult person, but is not demanding .He is playing with other children and gives and takes toys with them.  He is in a very good mood during the day.  He started to talk, he is working with his speech pathologist, and he started to express his needs by words.  He understands speech partially.  He is eating by himself, taking of his jacket, shoes, but is not still toilet trained. He is participating every game and is very happy when encouraged.  Small things make him very happy."

From one of our own adoptive families who visited with Srecko in April of 2008:  " I had the opportunity to meet Srecko and observe him in a setting where he was playing and again when he was eating and out in public on a field trip. Srecko is a very happy and social child. He was excited to have our attention and was very friendly. He is able to communicate his wants and needs and is beginning to use sounds and words. He also used gestures to communicate. He would benefit greatly from some basic sign language while he continues to develop his speech. Physically, Srecko has delays with his right arm and leg. We observed him walking, running and climbing on the play equipment. He is doing all of these things independently. He walks with a slight limp and up on his toes on his right foot. Otherwise, his gate and ability to walk are very good. He is able to use his right arm, but it is clearly not as strong as his left. However, with continued physical therapy and practice, the possibilities are endless for this little boy. Cognitively, we observed him following directions, responding to questions and interacting with peers. It is very possible that his speech delay causes greater delay in his ability to communicate what he knows. He enjoyed getting called over to visit with us and happily answered questions and showed us things that he could do. He is a delightful little boy and is just waiting for a mommy and daddy of his very own!"

Mario

Boy, Born June 29, 2004

Eastern Europe

Mario is so cute!!   He has dark hair and dark eyes.   He has a hypotonic posture, and is moderately mentally delayed.  He is still learning how to walk, but is progressing all the time. He is exploring his surroundings, and accept contacts and likes to be held and engaged.  His speech is also very delayed, he is only smiling and crying so far. He does live in the orphanage, so there are many institutional delays too. 

Mario is a very dear boy.  He is very easy to take care of, but is very cautious of things he's not familiar with. He needs his forever family as soon as possible.  He would do very well in a small family, where mom is home full time and can give him all the attention and love and patience he needs.

Slobodan

Boy, Born 11/29/2003

Eastern Europe

Slobodan is a handsome little boy with olive skin, dark hair and dark eyes.  And he is BLIND.   He was born a preterm in the 26th gestational week, and has the retinopathy gr.IV/V on both eyes. He is also mentally
delayed, they simply do not have specialists for blind children in this orphanage.  They are unable to take him every day to the institution for blind children.  It is believed he can distinguish light from dark, but that is all.
This photo is very moving to me, as it shows him "looking" into the light....

This little boy has a lot to live for and a lot to offer any family!  Please consider rescuing him from a life alone and in the dark.

Simon

Boy, Born January 5, 1999

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Simon is a handsome young man with limitless potential!  He is 8 years old, and has brown hair and brown eyes.   He has mild CP. He can not walk fully independently yet, however he moves by crawling and crawls all over his room. He actively plays with toys, usually while laying in bed.  Simon can speak and repeat certain phrases but not clearly. His speech definitely needs more work, it's not a speech of a healthy child at this age, but he is obviously trying. Due to lack of staff in the orphanage to take care of children - Simon's care level is limited.  He can be placed in a wheelchair (one for the entire floor) but he is not put there frequently. Due to
lack of care, Simon is not trained to care for himself and does not do it at this point.  His attention is sporadic, and he can concentrate with difficulty.

Separately, one child from this orphanage was recently adopted with the same condition - the orphanage staff COULD NOT BELIEVE when the child started to sit.... he was always labeled as "child cannot sit", however, it turned out the reason for that was that nobody really tried to help him sit - the family did this for a little while - and the child started to sit independently.

Simon will move mountains if you help him!

Little Maxim has been diagnosed with mild CP, but despite that, he listens well to what caretakers tell him, they refer to him as a nice boy, single him out, say he is friendly, and that he seems to have really good developmental potential.  Maxim walks independently, usually goes to the bathroom independently during the day, with motivation...he should really blossom in a loving family.   Please consider Maxim to be your new son and give him the opportunity to live his life to the fullest!

Kiril # 2

Boy, Born July 23, 2003

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

You would never believe it, but this tiny little boy is actually 4 1/2 years old.   He was born with microcephaly.  He has brown hair and brown eyes, and so desperately wants to know life outside of this orphanage.

One of our own adoptive families visited with Kiril in March of 2008 and shared this:  " This little one is very tiny but was responsive to the caretakers when they brought him in.  Despite his small size he smiled and reacted as I would expect a typical toddler to react.  I did not at the time know that he is nearing 5 years old.  Kiril is microcephalic and will be transferred to the institution very soon."

 He needs a family NOW.

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 is already 3 1/2 and will be transferred to the institution after the summer.  Please give this little guy a chance to fulfill his potential!

One of our own adoptive families who visited with him in March 2008 shared this with us:  "  This little guy did NOT want to be photographed!  He was quite happy doing whatever he was doing before being brought into the room but having his picture taken was not high on his priority list.  He has “deep mental delay” (understand that this is according to Eastern European standards—he was more aware and alert than a child with Down syndrome might be at the same age).  I can’t tell you his eye color because he down-right refused to look at me, but those blonde curls sure were cute!

Kiril # 3

Boy, Born January 20, 2004

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

This spunky little angel is ready to melt your heart!   Kiril has blonde hair and hazel eyes.  He was born with cerebral palsy. 

One of our own adoptive families who visited with him in March 2008 said this about Kiril:  "  I’m a sucker for blondies and this little guy with his green-brown eyes is adorable!  He smiled and wanted to interact with me when I came into the room despite the cries of his neighbor.  His smiles were brief but heartwarming and then he was curious about what I was up to.  Each time the camera flashed he rewarded it with a great grin!  Except it was always right AFTER the flash so I couldn’t capture his sweet smile."

  Kiril has Cerebral Palsy.  He doesn't deserve to spend a very short life at the institution.   Won't you be the one to save him from that?

Aleksey

Boy, Born March 4, 2005

This happy, precious little boy was born with spina bifida.   He has brown hair and bright blue eyes.  One of our adoptive families visited with him in March of 2008, and describes him as " having a personality that will make you wrapped around his finger in no time.  He was such a bright little boy,  he appears to be cognitively very aware and able.  He is a bright and sweet little boy and will be a joy to any family."

Many children with special needs have been adopted from this well-taken-care-of orphanage, where the director truly cares about the children and desperately wants them to find families instead of not surviving in the mental institution.  Aleksey is nearing 3 now, so he is the perfect age to bring home and benefit from therapy and a loving family environment. 

Won't you be the one to give him the life he deserves?
