Have you seen Dan???

See this adorable little guy?  We call him Dan. 

 . He is in a wonderful foster home in Beijing but he is from Bayannaoer SWI in Inner Mongolia. His special need is CHD.  Now for the hard part. This little guy is on an agency's list and we can not find him.  There are several of us searching and so far no one has found him.  We are advocating for a family for him but he is not on the shared list and we can not find the agency that has his file.  So, if that sweet little face speaks to you then join us in searching for his file! If you know who has his file or you find it please email me at sharon.millender@gmail.com.  I know an advocate who would LOVE to tell you more about this precious boy! Her daughter was cared for by the same foster home.

Drew

Drew is listed with AAC. This is what is written about him. "This sweet child is seven years old.  He has cerebral palsy.  He has some issues with walking.  When we met Drew he was using crutches to get around, but he told us that he preferred a push walker.  He is currently participating in physical therapy and doctors think that there is a good chance that he may be able to walk on his own some day.  He has good cognitive skills, however, he does have some catching up to do.  Drew is a very imaginative boy.  He likes to play outdoors.  He also said that he likes to do his homework because the teacher gives them a treat."

FSY

FSY is an adorable little guy who is almost 3 years old. He was born with an eye condition called bilateral persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV). He received surgery when he was 13 months old which should prevent further damage to his eyes. However, the likelihood of FSY achieving any usable level of vision is very, very slim. He needs a family who is ready to accept a child with no vision and who will help him as he grows into a strong and wonderful young man. FSY is a lovable little boy who brings joy to everyone around him. He needs a family to love him. Such an easy thing to do...he is a precious boy!

New info: FSY is now 96cm tall and weighs 13.5kg. He has not received any further surgery on his eyes. He seems to have some limited vision (light perception, perhaps?) He has seldom been ill. SenYang has not begun speaking yet. He does not join in play with the other children; it is difficult to know if this is due to his lack of vision. He needs help with toileting and feeding. He is cooperative when the nannies are dressing him. It is impossible to know from the limited information we have whether or not his delays are due to his lack of vision...but surely this must play a huge role. There was one part of the update that was heartbreaking...they said sometimes he cries when he has not been hurt. I cannot imagine how scared and confused this little guy must be as he goes through his day without the stability of a loving family. Please contact IAAP2000@gmail.com about FSY.

FLJ

FLJ is now 94cm tall and weighs 12.9kg. She is still unable to walk although she can sit and crawl. She is not yet speaking but makes good eye contact. She is not yet toilet trained. She has been healthy. By this recent photo, she appears to be a happy little girl. FLJ needs a family as soon as possible. She needs to begin a program of therapies to help her improve all of her motor skills and hopefully, her communication skills. She needs the love of a family. FLJ is listed with Bringing Hope To Children. Please email IAAP2000@gmail.com if you can give this beautiful little girl a home and lots of love!

Sweet CD

CD  is a handsome baby boy who is one year old. When he was born, he was found to have ambiguous genitals, so they ordered appropriate tests. According to his chromosome test, he is indeed a boy. The ultrasound showed normal prostate and seminal vesicles. Retained testicle is possible, although no obvious echo of testicle tissue was found on the left. CD's big toes are both "hammer toes" and are turned inward a bit. This can be corrected. Genital issues such as CD's are usually correctable, too. CD is a precious little guy, who needs a loving family. Contact IAAP2000@gmail.com for more info.

Changes

The primary reason I started this site was to advocate for older children.  However, I find that there are just too many children of ALL ages who need advocates who are willing to be their voice.  So, I will be posting about children of all ages.  Every child deserves hope and a home.

DYC 4 year old boy

DYC is a delightful little boy.  The nannies refer to him as "our son".  They must love him very much! Imagine what those little cheeks must look like when he grins!  He was born with bilateral club feet which are being corrected with shoes.  His gross motor skills were delayed due to his club feet but he is now catching up to his little friends and can run and walk with stability. Please contact Dick or Cheryl Graham at IAAP2000@gmail.com if you would like to learn more about DYC.

$5,000 grant for YD!!

Hard to believe YD does not have a family yet!!!  He is a handsome little guy and he sounds like a real sweetheart!  Someone loves YD very much and would love for him to have a family.  There is a $5,000 grant to be used for his adoption expenses!  C'mon families!  Give this little guy a good look!  Is he your son???  He has corrected club feet and is developmentally on target.  Email Dick or Cheryl Graham at IAAP2000@gmail.com for more information.

Jesse Has A Family!!!

His file was thisclose to going back but praise God it did NOT!!! This handsome little boy was most recently listed as Jesse with Children's House.  Today it was announced that he has a family!  HALLELUJAH!!! :)

Do you know if Lizzie has a family?

I still haven't heard that Lizzie has a family and I just can't believe that this sweet, happy, energetic little girl is still waiting! She is not on the current shared list. Hopefully this means she has a family.  It could also mean she is on an agency list.  If anyone hears that Lizzie is on a list or has a family please let me know! 

  If YOU would like to know more about Lizzie just go here.  

Depraved Indifference

Remembering Troy

Sadly, Troy passed away earlier this week.  Thanks to Love Without Boundaries he was very much loved by his foster family.  God bless everyone who donates even a penny to organizations like LWB, An Orphan's Wish, Grace & Hope and Half The Sky. You never know how a child's life will be touched by your donation. Thanks to donors Troy knew the love of his foster family.
