Jina
Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose;) Jina is an 11 year old beauty, with thick black hair and a charming smile. She has waited far too long for the family she deserves! Jina has had surgery for patent ductus arteriosis (PDA), and is also deaf-mute. Three strikes against her, but she is FAR from out!! Jina has learned some sign language, and has NO difficulty communicating with her caregivers and friends. She is described by teachers as "gifted", often receiving 99 out of 100 points in school!! Wow! Jina has acted in school plays, and was said to really stand out because of her "postures" being "active and cute". Sounds like a ham!! Jina also loves to draw, and shares "the ideas of her inner heart" through her artwork. What a girl!
Please tell me there is a family out there for Jina!! She doesn't have much time left, and she would make a wonderful daughter!

Ralphie
When I opened Ralphie's file, I immediately recognized his baby pictures. Those *adorable* baby pictures!!! What a handsome fella Ralphie is!! I have advocated for him in the past, although for the life of me I can't remember what I called him back then (Mommy-Brain!). So now he is Ralphie, b/c it sounds closest to his Chinese name;)
Ralphie recently turned 7 years old, and has had surgery for cataracts in both eyes. He also has bilateral nystagmus, left eye strabismus, and an inguinal hernia that must have been repaired, because there is no mention of it other than initally. Ralphie has limited vision, but he can see and follow objects with both eyes. He can run, jump, climb stairs and play like other children. He can dress himself and feed himself. Ralphie is described as a "lovely boy", and he just loves his foster mother. He prefers to spend time with her and help her do housework.
Now I *know* there is a Mama out there who needs a young man to help her with chores!! Anyone?

Wonderful Wayne
Seven year old Wayne has a smile as bright as the sun!! He is described as having mild cerebral palsy and mildly crossed-eyes, and is currently in the orphanage's preschool class. Wayne can walk and go up and down stairs independently. He gets along well with other children, and is a happy boy. His favorite toys are toy cars and guns.....yep, all boy!! Wayne also loves to watch cartoons and play with his friends at the orpahange.
Surely there is a family out there looking for a wonderful boy like Wayne!!

Darling Darby
Sweet Darby is almost 8 years old, and still waiting for her forever family to find her. Darby was found at around 16 months old, and was found to have weakness in her right side and "slightly low intelligence". Whatever that means in a toddler....
Darby surprised the orphanage staff by settling in to life there without any problems. She is now in a foster family, and doing very well. Darby loves cartoons, and gets very excited and animated when they come on the tv. She also loves music, and listening to her teachers tell stories. She is described as "the teacher's little helper", and is loved by everyone.

January's Journey
January is almost 2 years old. She was found on her birthday, and she has been diagnosed with under-development of the eyes. According to her file, however, January CAN see. At around 6 months old, she liked to steal the blankets off of her crib mates;) She is said to be at the same cognitive and developmental age as her peers. January is said to be a healthy, chubby little baby:) She is active, curious, and taking steps on her own. She is also babbling alot:)
Where will January's journey take her next?? Maybe into your family? Comment below with your email for more info on this amazing little girl!
Kane Can!!
Five year old Kane may be blind, but he can do many things. His file is old, but at only 18 months old, he could walk with a walker. He can play with toys that make music. He can, and does, keep his caregivers on their toes! Kane is described as "very smart", and is said to have much more sensitive hearing than the other children. He is very healthy, and very rarely gets sick. Kane has a condition known as micropthalmia. But it doesn't stop him. He CAN do anything he puts his mind to. Are his parents reading this? If so, leave a comment with your email and I'll fill you in some more:)
