Eva

Girl, Born June 26, 2006

Russia

Eva is a very special little girl.  She is being given one chance to find a family.  Placing her can mean the full referrals of many other children with Down syndrome waiting in this far western region of Russia (close to the border with Europe).

Eva is 2 years old....her mother was very young when she was born, and she simply was not able to care for her.   The truth is that there is no place for her in this society...she wasn't really given a choice but to give her up.   Eva is HEALTHY and doing very well.   She is doing very very well considering her environment, and will really benefit from early intervention services here with her new family!

Please give Eva, and all of the others who will come after her, a fighting chance at life in a loving family, not locked away in a mental institution!!  

  • 2 trips

Denis

Boy, Born February 2006

RUSSIA

This little one is under 2 years old and is living in Moscow City.  We will not be able to get any additional information about him, but he can be adopted independently with the help of our licensed attorney and facilitator.  Total costs are under $20k.

These children are all living in the same orphanage, and families can adopt more than one unrelated child at a time.

These children face institutionalization at the age of 4, and are no longer eligible to be adopted once they are sent away.  All of our children in Russia are considered HIGH RISK.  Please consider choosing one of these angels!

2 trips, both parents, 5-7 days first, 10-14 days second.  Only one parent has to go the second trip for court. 

I have $20 in my grant fund towards the cost of my adoption!

 

My FOREVER FAMILY found me!

Ignat

Russia

DOB April 4, 2001

This charming little blonde haired boy has Down syndrome. He is a good natured child, kind and friendly. He can pronounce simple monosyllabic words and tries to imitate adults' speech. His receptive skills are good. He can follow simple instructions and is a curious little guy. He will mimic and gesture to communicate with others. He participates in classes and games and is very active. He prefers to have things tidy, and can put away his toys all by himself. He is a favorite of one of the caretakers who often takes him to her own home for visits. Consequently he is familiar with a family lifestyle. With his easygoing nature, he gets along very well with other children as well as with grown-ups!

A video is available for interested families and there are new photos too!

I have $4000 in my grant fund towards the cost of my adoption!

Anthony (RUSSIA)

Born Aug. 1, 2003

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Very happy, learning to walk already!!  Crawling and taking steps!  Anthony lives in a very caring and loving orphanage, and has the benefit of one-on-one time with his caregivers!  Anthony’s care taker wrote in his description that his charming personality has gotten the best of her. He has a heart defect which is not uncommon for children with this syndrome.  This is an old picture, and regrettably, we will not be able to get any new ones.  Please look past this "baby" and try to see him as the beautiful 3 year old he is.  He will be sent to a mental institution very soon, and he does not deserve to die there.  Please consider rescuing Anthony!

Russia's mental institutions are CLOSED FACILITIES.  This means that once a child reaches the age of 4 and is transferred, they are no longer eligible to be adopted.  These children in Russia are facing a crisis situation.  Please open your hearts and consider adopting any of these little ones....they deserve a loving family like yours.

ADDITIONAL GRANT MONEY MAY BE AVAILABLE, PLEASE INQUIRE!

I have $445  in my grant fund towards the cost of my adoption!
