Our Baby Boys in Russia

 

Russia seems to have a very high number of children with Down syndrome waiting to be adopted.    We are doing our best to obtain a current picture and updated medical information, but it is likely that this will not be available until after a dossier is received.  

However, if this child's medical situation is more complicated than you feel comfortable with, you can obtain another referral for another child with Down syndrome at the same time without having to go through the process all over again.

These children face institutionalization at the age of 5, 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!

Eli

Born 2004

This child is absolutely gorgeous!    Healthy as far as the agency knows.  Very strong child, this photo was taken before Eli was 1 year old.    Likely walking by now, self feeding and a joy to be around.  Handsome and a precious addition to any family.  Eli is currently living in Russia.  He is in a region which is very beautiful, with a lot of incredible history and is a very special place to visit.  It is also very modern, with many Western conveniences and luxuries.   Adopting Eli would not only save him from a mental institution, but could also be a romantic vacation opportunity for Mom and Dad!

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.

My FOREVER FAMILY found me!

Kirill #4

Boy, Born May 1, 2006

Russia

Kirill is a very special little boy.  He is being given one chance to find a family.  Placing him 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).

Kirill is 2 years old....his mother was very young when he was born, and she simply was not able to care for him.   The truth is that there is no place for him in this society...she wasn't really given a choice but to give him up.   Kirill is HEALTHY, with platinum blonde hair and blue eyes.  He is a very tender and affectionate little boy.  He recognizes his caretakers and reacts to them calling his name.  He crawls and walks with assistance and eats from a spoon.  He is doing very very well considering his environment, and will really benefit from early intervention services here with his new family!

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