Tess is a beautiful 9 year old girl who has come a long way from the tiny baby found abandoned in a temple. When she was very small, she was found to have signs of CP. She was not able to walk when she was 3 years old. At that time she was sent to live with a foster family. Under their care, she learned to walk; at first slowly...so the family took her to a rehab center every day. In 2009, she moved to a school in the city where she lives during the week and on weekends stays with the family of a staff member of the rehab center. Now she is stable in her walking, and her speech is clear. She travels alone by bus to the school. She gets along well with the other students and is very helpful. Tess likes to sing, skate and ride bikes. She is outgoing and enjoys watching cartoons. They report she is a lovely girl and would like to be adopted. Tess has shown herself to be a strong and capable girl. She is happy, outgoing and eager to find a family of her own. All she needs now is a family to open their heart to her

Look at this sweet face!!!! Zach is on Great Walls list but he is also being cared for at Eagles Wing foster home! Here is what Donna writes about this special child!
He is 4yo with spina bifida. Zach is adorable and smart, smart, smart. He soaks everything up like a sponge. He can be a little sensitive, but is a fun and busy little boy. Zach does not walk independently but has good potential perhaps with support. He does walk around with the support of a stool to push and can get himself to a standing position. Trust me, none of this slows him down. He is not potty trained and we are not sure whether he has the potential for control. In any case, he will likely start on a catheter program soon and be able to take care of his bathroom needs independently. (Did I say he is smart?)
Zach is a favorite of his house manager (of course, we don't play favorites!) and he gets lots of attention. He lives in a home with 10 other children with mobility challenges where they have a fun, homey and cooperative atmosphere.

He does not speak clearly with some words, but is very adept at doing arts and crafts, which he enjoys doing in his spare time. He is enthusiastic about helping his foster parents with some chores.

Later he showed us his gymnastics skills and expressed how much he wants to be adopted. This boy is literally dreaming about being adopted—he is not picky about what his family is like, as long as they are in the U.S! Lewis's pictures don't do him justice. In person, he is very handsome, charismatic and sweet. Could your family be the one to make Lewis’ dream come true?
JEB________________________________________________

Jeb is an adorable, cuddly and sweet little boy. He is always helpful to the nannies, picking up bottles that the other kids throw, or putting all the toys away in a container and giving it to the nannies.

Jeb needs a family who can open his world up with sign language and help him communicate.
BALIN________________________________________________

He had trouble moving upon admission as an infant, but he has since made tremendous improvements and is walking, clapping, understanding language, but does not talk much, although he can follow instructions. He can feed himself and help get dressed. Could you be the family to help Balin reach his full potential? With the love and attention a family can provide, there's no telling what he could do!
CAROLINE_________________________________________
Caroline is 5 years old
Caroline is a very sweet and shy little girl. When we were there she began crying when we had her go into the other room to talk to her and evaluate her, but she was very outgoing in the group, coming right up to me, and even hugging us at times. The only way she was able to calm down individually, was when we pulled her friend in there with her, who was very outgoing. She was then able to calm down and try to answer our questions. She speaks unclearly, but she tries hard. She is able to hold a pen correctly. When we spoke to her teachers in the Half the Sky School, they said that once she got comfortable there, she made big improvements. Caroline needs the love and attention a family can provide to reach her full potential.

He can play games with other kids and is never slow to smile. During his visit with our OT, he pretended to take a phone call!

She loves going to her Half the Sky Class and is very close to her teachers there. She seems to enjoy the stimulation and activities she gets to do there and doesn't want to leave. She is able to communicate through gestures (not sign) with her teachers and she seems to blossom in that class. When we visited her, she was in a room with very little stimulation and other physically handicapped children. She was craving stimulation and trying to find it any way she could. We requested that she be moved to another room and received reports that she is doing better there. With the gift of family and language her world would open up.

Zeke is such a charming 9 year old boy. I was so impressed by how polite and curious he was. He made a point of seeking us out every time were nearby. He always wanted to interact and you could just see in his eyes that we were his connection to a family that he so desperately wants. All of the nannies there told us, he so wants a family--please find him one! He's a very talented artist. I wanted to put up a picture of him holding the drawing he did for us. He doesn't have a lot of opportunity there, but I know with a family and some one on one attention, this boy would thrive! He's smart and you can tell he is ambitious:-)
SKIPPY____________________________________________
Love, love, love this wonderful kid!!! He just looks like he never stops smiling!! I so hope he can find a family to nuture that beautiful spirit! From ASIA:
Age: 8 Years
Special Need: Cerebral Palsy
Skippy is a happy-go-lucky, cheerful and outgoing little boy. He functions quite well with all of his daily living tasks. He can sing songs and name his friends. He is a very friendly little boy who seems to have a very good outlook on life. He is left handed and can draw and write with that hand. He enjoys both gross and fine motor play. Skippy would make a great addition to a family who enjoys laughing and playing together.

Skippy is the cutest 8 year old boy you've ever seen! When his hair grows a bit, he gets these cute little waves. He is such a happy boy, and not in a wierd way, but a truly happy personality. The boy likes to laugh and he would bring laughter and happiness into any home! I ask for your help in advocating for these older boys. I'm happy to talk to anyone about them. They are all on the mild side of their needs and very functional in all daily living tasks.
JAKE______________________________________________
Jake looks like so much fun!!! From ASIA:
Age 7 Years
Special Need: Mild Cerebral Palsy
Jake is a happy boy who is very social. He has good motor and language skills and takes direction well. Although when there was candy involved, it took a little more negotiation—the boy likes his sweets! He can focus on a task and also transition to other tasks when asked. He likes to be active. He is able to perform self care tasks on his own. Jake would thrive in a family of his own.

Jake is a very social 7 year old boy. He was also one of the first to come up to us and interact. He was very curious about the visitors and he is quite a negotiator. He is also a boy who tries very hard and can be very focused. He seems to be all boy, very active, yet able to focus on fine motor tasks as well:-) I can see him enjoying some roughhousing with some brothers or a father. I also think he would be very loving.
LILLIAN__________________________________________
Sweet, beautiful Lillian. She is the only one from this group that the staff did not meet. She is precious. From ASIA:
Age: 6 Years
Special Need: Blind
Lillian likes light, music and playing outside. She often presses her eyes with her fingers and shakes her hands in front of her eyes. She can walk on her own, but prefers to hold someone else’s hand for comfort. She can speak and imitates sneezing when her foster mother says “cold.”
