Lukas is 8 years old, and has blonde hair and blue eyes.  He has Down syndrome.  He is described as calm and joyful.     Even at 8, he is still trying to master walking, but with continued physical therapy and lots of "encouragement", he will get there!  He is able to feed himself but still needs some help in staying focused.   His receptive language is very good, but he does not speak yet.    Lukas was born with a heart condition.

Lukas has two younger brothers who are also available for adoption, if you might be interested in adopting as sibling group.  However, Lukas CAN be adopted separately.

Sandra & Slavka

Girls, Born February 27, 2003

Sandra (on the top with darker hair) and Slavka are twin little girls in Eastern Europe.   They both have brown hair and giant brown soulful eyes.  Aren't they beautiful?   They were born with West Syndrome.  Both girls are very social and loving and enjoy being held and played with.  They both have a very sweet and pleasant nature. 

Both girls are significantly cognitively delayed, but have been attending kindergarten for children with special needs since June of 2007 and are doing very well there.  The staff and doctors are very pleased with the girls' developmental progress.   They walk independently and their gross motor skills are very good.  Their greatest need is that of speech.  Neither girl is verbal, but they also do not have any speech therapy.   They have great potential for use of speech and communication with this help!

West syndrome is basically epileptic seizures.   They both take medication for convulsions and are under regular care of a neurologist.   With medication, neither girl has had any episodes, so the neurologist is  actually reducing their dosages.

These precious sisters will make a wonderful addition to any family, and will really blossom with the appropriate therapeutic and educational assistance!

• NO AGENCY FEES

• Married couples only, under 50 years of age preferably

• No more than 5 children (at home or own their own)

• TOTALLY CLEAN criminal background check

• Parents should be general healthy

• Both parents travel for approx 15 days

• Total with travel and home study under $16k

• Short simple dossier

 There is no "court"...only a beautiful "adoption ceremony".  Orphanage donations are not required.   Short, simple dossier, very short wait for travel once your dossier is submitted.  This is a very easy program, and we could get many children with Down syndrome out of this country with minimal costs and easy travel requirements.

Please contact Andrea directly for more information

We have $0  in our grant fund towards the cost of our adoption!

Hasan and Husen

TWINS

Boys, Born September 24, 2007

Hasan and Husen are two precious little boys who were born prematurely.  One complication from that early birth was blindness, for both boys :(  

We are waiting for more info on the boys' medical records, but these two little ones need a very special family, one with experience with blindness and braille and likely with some learning and cognitive delays (from their prematurity). 

Please consider adopting these two little angels, and help them *see* the world they never will from the inside of an orphanage.

• 2 trips, both parents

• First trip is 1 week, second trip is 2-3 weeks

• Infants available

• Single mothers permitted

•  Parents up to 65 years of age are eligible to adopt infants

My forever family found me!

Boy, Born May 17, 2004

Diagnosed with CP and Mental Retardation/Typical

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Nick is a very special, very needy little boy.   He has blonde hair and blue eyes.   He is quite weak from being bedridden due to his CP.  Even though he benefits greatly from being in an orphanage which receives humanitarian aid, and has a loving staff and a caring director, he needs a family.   A missionary who recently visited this orphanage says this of Nick:  "We were able to spend quite a bit of time with Nick since he was neighbors with our son. Nick is a sweet little boy who desperately needs a family. He spends his days confined to a crib since he is unable to walk, talk or feed himself. When Nick reaches the age of 4 he will be transferred to a mental institution where the chances of being adopted a almost nonexistent and the mortality rate is very high. It is our observation that many of Nikita's issues are magnified by the fact that he receives little to no stimulation or attention aside from daily care such as diaper changes and feedings. Nick is able to push up to his hands and knees and rocks himself back and forth. It is likely that, with therapy, he would be able to walk. While Nick's issues are significant and will require lots of love and patience from his forever family, there is no doubt that he will thrive with the medical help he so desperately needs along with the love and attention of a family.

Nick is significantly delayed and will need a great deal of focus and commitment from his adoptive family.  The ideal family would have older, self-sufficient children, so Nick would become the youngest in the family and have the total focus on him.   A stay-at-home-mom would be ideal.

Nick has a twin sister who is "typical".  Her name is Nastya.  The children would need to be adopted together.
