3 Year Old Boy- Agency List

He was diagnosed with a brain bleed when he was an infant. Last year he had surgery to insert a shunt and since that time he has continued to improve. His referral file is complete with all relevant medical tests and evaluations.

He is described as being a good eater and has great strength and is a good sharer. At this time he is standing (but not walking) and babbling (but not talking).

There are more pictures of him available on request.

13 Year Old Boy- Agency List

He was born in May 1997 and he has diagnoses of cerebral palsy and exotropia of left eye. According to the agency reps who met him, "The caseworker at the orphanage stated that his cerebral palsy is minor and that he acts pretty much normal and his eyesight seems to be somewhat normal also. Though we are not qualified to give medical evaluation, anyone interested in this child should check out all the videos of our camp to see what we saw during our two days there."

The following is a description of this boy by another adoptive family: “Both of my girls spent years of their lives with him in the same orphanage. I know this little boy would make an excellent big brother, my girls just smile when they see his photo, and give me a big thumbs up! It is my opinion, having met him two times, that information in his file is possibly not accurate and he has much greater abilities than the paper information would suggest. PLEASE CONSIDER this boy if you have a place in your heart and your family for a big brother.”
