Wonderful Waiting Kids!

Today Wonderful waiting Kids are those that seem to wait the longest. The kids with Downs Syndrome. Those seem to be scary words to most. But underneath all those medical terms are little ones who want to be loved. I know not everyone is led to parent a child born with Downs, but these are some of the sweetest kids I have ever met.


Hailey
China

Girl, Born July 7, 2006 China From a missionary who visited with her in August 2010: “ Hailey was found abandoned at the age of 8 months. She is described as easy going and social, and is well loved by the orphanage staff. She is energetic and likes to listen to music.”

Garrett
Boy, Born October 29, 2005
China

From a missionary who visited with him in August 2010: “ Garrett was found abandoned at the age of 9 months. He is medically healthy but very small for his age. He lives in a VERY poor orphanage that is rife with neglect and lack of resources to properly care for the children with special needs living here. They are in dire need of humanitarian support. Those who are bedridden especially suffer here, and urgently need adoptive families. We are desperately seeking a family to give Garrett the live he deserves! ”

Boy, Born July 12, 1999

From a missionary who visited with him in August 2010: “ Daniel is very active and friendly. He is affectionate and likes to play with and greet others. He proudly shows his work to you and enjoys cleaning and keeping a tidy room. Daniel has a great sensitivity to the immobile/special needs children, and often will bring them toys and water, etc to help them. Daniel is a loving boy who will do wonderfully in a family of his own”. RR does not typically advocate for children over the age of 10, but Daniel is a wonderful boy and deserves the opportunity to find a forever family.

Tara
Girl, Born September 30, 2002
China

She is extroverted and can express her feelings very well. When she is happy she will greet you warmly and embrace you enthusiastically; if she thinks that she was treated wrongly she will make sharp sound and cry loudly to blow off her discontent. She has made great physical progress and can go up and down stairs and loves to dance around!






Andrew
Boy, Born April 2004
China

This boy, born 4/2004 has Down syndrome. He was told if he wanted to go to America he needed to learn English so he learned “thank you” and “bye bye.” He can do many things for himself including washing his face and tidying up the toys. He likes to play games. He manipulated the toys and building pieces very well. He likes blocks and little cars. He is good at taking the lead in games and likes to teach other children the games. If two kids are fighting over a toy he will stop them and give each child a toy so they won’t fight. He likes to watch a local new channel and talk shows. When the doctor was passing out treats to everyone he told the other children “to say thank you.” He is very aware of his environment. When a baby spit up no one helped quickly enough for him so he went and got a tissue and wiped the baby’s face. The staff said he was very shy but was away from his foster home for two weeks. He was one of the dancers in the program and didn’t seem too shy. He has no heart issues.
