She gets along well with other students. She gets great scores. But her practical ability is not good. In school days, she gets up at 7:00, naps between 12:30 and 2:00PM, goes to bed at 21:00. She has breakfast at 7:30, lunch at 11:40 and dinner at 18:00. She mainly has rice or noodle for main food. She likes the fried food, seafood, drinks. She does not like meat. Now she can climb up and down stairs on her own holding the rail. She can wash her hands on her own.  She communicates well with people. She gets along well with other kids. She likes to go to the park where she can take bumper cars or electric vehicles. She likes to listen to songs and sing songs. Her favorite toys are bears. She is afraid of dogs.

WENDY/MEGAN_____________________________________

 

Sweet Wendy/Megan has been waiting so long!  Please read about this wonderful little girl!  Wendy/Megan ages out in September of 2012, please consider this precious child.  At this time she is not on the shared list but I wanted to get her up as I am hoping she will be found soon.

Because Megan did not go to school at the appropriate age, she was not able to do many things at the beginning of her admission. At the present, she is very diligent and studious. She has been able to learn what the staff has taught her. Since her admission, she has learned to tidy up shirts and beds from caretakers and she helps other children put on clothes and shoes and assists them with other things that she can do. Every day Megan comes back from school and finishes her homework actively. If she has questions that she cannot understand she takes initiative to ask the staff for help. Megan says she wants to learn much more knowledge. Megan is outgoing, active and restless. She is ready to help others, always with a happy smile on her face. She is satisfied with her present life, but she also hopes that she would have her own loving parents as other classmates in school.  

Megan hopes that she will one day see her mother outside of school waiting for her and then go back home with her hand held by her mother. Are you being called to be Megan’s mother that she so desires?

JULIE_____________________________________________

Sweet Julie ages out in November of 2012.  Please read about this wonderful child who is now basically healthy:

On admission she was found to have congenital aproctia and a rectovaginal fistula. In December 1998 she had anoplasty surgery, and in April 2005 she had bladder surgery, which were both successful. She is also reported to have mild right kidney edema. She started school later than other children due to her medical condition, and as of March 2011 is in the fourth grade. Currently she is reported to have normal physical growth and be on par cognitively with her peers. She enjoys playing games with her classmates, doing crafts, and can recite poetry fluently. She also is learning simple English words in school.

She states that she very much wants to join an adoptive family. Inspired by her teachers, she too wants to teach as her profession.  From someone who met her: "Julie’s assessment states that she often shows great kindness and easily builds attachments."

Please don't let this child who loves to give hugs, age out!

DAWN______________________________________________

Oh my goodness, what a smile!  Please read what is written about this beautiful child with a brave spirit!  She has spina bifida and is in a wheelchair, but she is able to get into and out of the chair on her own and can get up stairs on her own. She does her own self-care independently. 

Dawn is 12 and a half, and will age out of the program in 18 months; she is aware of this too.  She has spina bifida, uses a wheelchair and is studying grade 4 in local school - and doing well.  She is confident, articulate and happy.  Dawn already has a degree of understanding that adoption to another culture and language would be difficult (she is used to playing and being around non-speaking foreign people that visit the orphanage on short term teams); however, she has stated that she would like to have a family, and that she would like to go abroad.  She is willing to work to overcome language difficulties for that.  She is also aware that education, future jobs and life in a place like the USA would be easier for her than in China where wheelchair uses are still not supported well. 

Please don't let this special child age out
