DIRE - Kyle 2/1998 - Update

Kyle needs a family to submit LOI for him in the next 7 days or he will lose his chance at a family FOREVER!!!

Here is some more information on Kyle from a family that met him:

He wanted to be adopted by my wife for sure.  He bonded with her during a orphans camp that she volunteered at this last July.  It was in Yantai.  I believe that he could still bond with another family. 
He loves basketball and airplanes.
He has not been in the orphanage all his life.  He was placed there three years ago after his mother's death.  His father died when he was about two.  His surviving family is unable to support him.
He won't talk about his mother's death.  Some of his family believe he may have witnessed it.
He is respectful and mature.
By the way, his only special need is his age.  He is normal in all accounts as far as we know.

Jonathan has DAYS to find a family.  He turns 16 on 12/31.  If a family has not initiated the process for an I-600 visa for him by that date, he will forever lose his chance at a family.  He needs a family that is married, can travel, and has a homestudy that can be used for immigration approval and is willing to apply for immigration in the next week.  If a family is ready to apply they will work directly with the facilitator who knows him.

He has a great sense of humor which has been confirmed by other kids in his class and two children who were recently adopted to U.S. He loves to work on a computer, takes part in virtually all theatrical performances organized at the orphanage, just a great actor, very calm when not on stage, never gets in trouble, loves sports and plays soccer, played basketball and trained in light athletics, studies at good level. Jonathan is respectful to adults and older children. He is obedient and always ready to help. NEEDS A FAMILY to file for immigration ASAP, can adopt later. BEGS translator when he visits if he has found his family yet, desperately wants to be adopted. Can be chatted to on Skype as well as email.

DIRE: Kyle - 2/1998


Kyle is a sweet and very handsome boy who greatly wants a family of his own.  On admission, he is timid and strained and dare not to speak to other children. He has little words and sometimes even shed tears due to sadness. After a time of caring by the caretakers in the institute, he became more and more outgoing and can speak first to other children with more words. The staff in the institute all likes him. In the teachers’ eyes of the school, he is a compliant and sensible child. On admission, he was 9 years old and is a 3rd year student in school. He listened carefully in classes and is ready to help others. The childhood has not left a shadow on his heart. Time flies, he grows up and became more and more bright and sunny and confident. In the institute, he can get on well with others and is ready to help those in need. The little brothers and sisters like him very much and are dependent on him. In life, he would take care of those younger than him. At the same time, he has good self-care ability and has regular life. He gets up at 5:30, clean up and run on the playground at 6:00, breakfast at 6:00, arrive at school on time at 7:00. Now he is at the second year of junior high school. He makes more friends. He is passionate and knows to care about others. In study, he works hard but he likes Chinese best and is doing averagely in other subjects. After school, he often plays basketball with other children. He likes to travel out with the guidance of teachers. At this time, he would be like a happy bird, twittering all along with the teachers and students. On Sep 1, he would be a student of 3rd year when he will have more tasks. We hope he would have a bright future.

Kolina - 12/2002

While this precious child may not be in danger of legally aging out of international adoption, her time is probably very short for her to find a family.  You see, she is in a situation physically where her life expectancy is most likely very short if she remains in the orphanage.  That is why I chose to highlight Kolina today. 

This sweet little girl is literally deteriorating daily in a crib in Eastern Europe.  On December 16 she will "celebrate" her birthday.  Kolina will be nine years old. Yes, nine! She has Down syndrome. Looking at her pictures, she probably only weighs around 10-12 pounds.  If that.  Clothes cover her clearly skeletal legs, and her pitiful frame is nothing but skin and bones.  Poor little darling.

Time is obviously crucial and she needs to come home as quickly as possible. Poor lovie is living on borrowed time--she is severely malnourished. A home-study-ready family would be ideal, but at this stage, it is not essential.  Anyone wanting more information can contact Shelley at  shele337 (at) yahoo (dot)com
You can see a picture of Kolina here as well as donate towards the cost of her adoption.

It is reported that he is very close with his foster mother and still speaks with her on the phone even after being transferred back to the institution.

Update - Zeke 03/1998

Yesterday Zeke came to my house and I was reminded of what an amazing little guy he is.  He is such a little gentleman, helping to clear the table, serving everyone food, saying Thank You, etc...  He loves to talk and had a lot of catching up to do after our long time away in America--he kept us laughing.  I talked with him about being adopted and what that would mean--leaving his birth country and the only home he's ever known.  He said that he understood that, but still really wanted a family. 
 
Last week some of the other kids teased him (in front of me but thinking I didn't hear) about how he was running out of time and no one would want him before his next birthday.  He just listened in silence.  He is fully aware that he only has a little time left.  Oh, I pray that someone comes forward soon.  There is still plenty of time, even starting from scratch (if someone moved really quickly).  He will be such a blessing.  
 
I would also feel confident bringing him in with smaller children.  He would be a wonderful big brother.  He takes good care of my younger girls, making sure they are always with the group, have enough food at the table, etc...  
 
We played lots of birthday games yesterday and he had a blast--laughing, dancing, etc...  He especially liked learning "The Chicken Dance" and balloon popping relay.  I hated to bring him back last night. This little guy really needs someone to love him and give him the home that he deserves.
 
For more information on Zeke,  leave a comment with your e-mail address (it won't be published) and I'll provide you with more information.

Zeke - March 1998

I want to tell you about Zeke----a precious 13 year old boy who is aging out in March of next year (2012). Just like Alex, he comes to our house all the time. He has missing ears, but has some hearing. He doesn't wear any aids or use sign language. He goes to normal school. He's had surgery, where they took some rib and skin from his chest to fashion ears so that he looked a little more normal. He is sooooooooooooo wonderful! I've waited to advocate for him because I had hoped to adopt him myself. That hasn't worked out, so please please please--I know his family is out there.
 
This child will bring so much joy to your life. He is the best friend of my son. His paperwork is in the
process of being sent to Guangzhou because after Alex was adopted the orphanage agreed to try again with Zeke. He wants a family so badly. He loves to draw and my whole house is decorated with his art work. He loves our pug, Sam:) He always insists on helping me in the kitchen (cook, clean, etc...) He keeps me laughing. He's a great kid. I'll send photos, I just wanted to get the word out immediately. His paperwork should be ready any day now.
 
This child will steal your heart. He constantly asks me, "Am I good? Do you want me?" I've cried many tears over this child. He came to the center when he was 8 years old. Everyone at the center loves him. He is a good child and well behaved. He is constantly teased by the other children because of his ears. He was a good friend of Alex. I would completely trust him around any other younger children.

Mary - 12/1998

Mary was abandoned as an infant at a hospital and after the search for her birthparents failed, she was sent to a welfare institute to be raised. In 1999, she underwent surgery for a spinda bifida related tumor on her back and was diagnosed with scoliosis. She underwent further corrective surgeries in 2007 and 2009, which have greatly improved her scoliosis. Her caretakers say she has adapted well to life in the orphanage and considers the other children her brothers and sisters. She is described as a helpful, kind, introverted, shy and cute girl. Mary enjoys cross-stitch, reading books, and is loved by her teachers. Mary has told her caretakers that if she were adopted, she would miss her caregivers and the children she calls her brothers and sisters. She would love to go back and visit them if she ever had the chance. She also desires her own mother and father, a space of her own, and a warm family. Mary has agreed to be adopted by a foreign family and would have the opportunity to know a life of love, growth and happiness. To learn more about this special girl, please contact Heartsent.

They describe her as very thoughtful, caring, smart and kind. She is very skillful in taking things apart and putting them back together. She is very helpful to the caregivers and if she sees an adult, she will try to help out by offering them water.

URGENT: Hillary - 2/1998

Hillary gets along well with her classmates, knows to share her pencil with others who does not have. She knows to sweep the floor actively. Once, the caretaker gets ill, and tells Hillary she wants to go home and resign from the institute. Hillary hold her hands and says “please don’t leave, please pass the disease to me, I want to get ill instead of you”. And then she cries. She does not sleep for the whole night, and stays beside the caretaker. She is a sensitive girl, knows to greet the staff in the institute. She is introverted, quiet, shy, and not talkative in front of strangers, but would give you a sweet smile. She likes to play games with children at her age, is fond of rope skipping and kicking shuttlecock. Hillary has oval face, a pair of bright and large eyes, thick and black hair. She is thin, and is a sensitive girl.
Hillary is on the shared list but is being advocated for by Madison. Her file states that she has "mental nerve development delay." It sounds like she had TB at some point, and they are saying that caused her mental delay. The information in her file does not appear to support this diagnosis.  She also has polydactyly of one hand I think.
