Our Youngest Waiting Children

This page represents children from many countries. All of them have Down syndrome.

Children who are in the same country and can be adopted together are identified by an orphanage number in parentheses next to their name. Please compare orphanage #s if you are considering adopting two!

These orphanage numbers also correspond to some of our "Older Angels" (6+) with Down syndrome and children with other special needs on our "Other Angels" pages.

Orphanage 3  

Nikita (3)

Boy, Born February 4, 2008
 
So wish we had a more current pic of Nikita, but he is a darling little boy and is doing well.   His records do not indicate a heart condition.   He likes to play with toys and is interactive with his caregivers.   The "cloud" on his eye in this picture is NOT an indication of blindess....I tried to edit his red eyes and this is how it came out!

Everett  (9)

Boy, Born August 26, 2009

The children in this orphanage are VERY well taken care of. They are blessed by the financial and humanitarian support of a very large aid group, meaning adequate food, stimulation, toys, and even therapeutic items. They are all being raised with the typical children, so this helps them be even more high functioning. Even more so, they are shared with us by a loving director who genuinely wants to see these angels find families. We are honored to be able to seek families for these children, and hope we can succeed in placing ALL of them very quickly!
