Orphan Alert

I just need to share another link. I'm been seeing more stories come out of this country lately of children with Downs Syndrome being left in cribs and starved. I really don't have the right words to describe what is being done. It's horrific. I saw another story this morning that I just have to share. This precious child is 11 years old and weighs 10lbs. I don't even understand how she is still alive, she's a fighter and God is keeping her alive, to stir our hearts to action perhaps? She needs a family, she needs to know love. There is a grassroots effort to raise the money for her adoption in hopes that a family will step forward. Please help her, because as the blogger says at the link, It IS our problem. God put us on this world to be a shining light, to be known by our DEEDS and LOVE.
 Please go to the link here, it's so hard to read and see the pictures but we must read and do something!

Update on orphan Alert

Little Xavier has a family! It is not us, but I am so excited he will soon be tucked in at night by his own momma and daddy.

Orphan Alert: Oh my heart.

This is Xavier. He's special to me. We want to adopt him ourselves, but there seems to be just to many road blocks in our way and waivers necessary to bring him into our family. In the mean time his time is running out so I hope a family can make him their own. Xavier 8 years old, shy and very small for his age. He is a sweetie. He was transferred to the orphanage with a small group of children and he is the only one that has not been adopted yet out of that group and he is keenly aware of that.

  He walks with a slight limp and is missing some teeth. Please contact Madison Adoption Advocates for more information on him. The staff from Madison has met him personally when they went to China last year and he particiapated in one of their camps. They have lost of pictures and even a few videos of him. They have his file until February and have a grant for him as well.



What a cutie!

This little boy is on the shared list from China. He is soo cute. He just had eye surgery and seems to be adjusting well. I'm a little partial, love a guy in glasses. He's had a cleft lip surgery and still needs surgery on his palate. you can read more about him here on Love Without Boundaries' blog.

Orphan Alert computer whiz ageing out. Huge grant available

Homestudy-Ready Families: Urgent Adoption!

A 13-and-3/4-year- old boy urgently needs to be adopted before he ages out in January. He is a computer whiz, has a good sense of humor, a repaired cleft lip and a blood disorder. He has been tested for HIV and is negative. Exceptions can be granted for families interested him, and families can adopt him with another child. There is up to $10550 in aid.

This boy is in Asia and this adoption requires travel. We had a devoted family for him, but due to circumstances beyond their control they could not complete this adoption. We need a homestudy-ready family that has started their immigration work in order to complete this adoption on time.

ID: LZ-0197-16675- 01,

When we met with this 13-year-old boy he spoke in a soft voice but clearly stated that his main interest is computers! His favorite subject in school is computers and his favorite out-of-school activity is working on computers. He has a repaired cleft lip and palate but his speech is understandable, though as he counted in English a slight lisp was noticeable. Although he is a bit shy, he did ask if everyone in the room was supposed to be speaking in English! Watching him later in our meetings, it was clear that he has an engaging personality and a good sense of humor, likes to entertain others and is a leader among the other children. He showed a competitive, but very appropriate, spirit in the group games. By breakfast of the second day, he had lost any shyness, not hesitating to approach our staff and asking with a smile the English word for an item he held up—a hardboiled egg. This nice boy is need of a family! He has a blood disorder. He has been tested for HIV and is negative.

Requirement waivers: Waivers can be requested if you do not meet the requirements for adopting from China. If you are married, we can ask for exceptions to the adoption requirements (i.e., if you are over the age limit of 54, somewhat over the BMI limit of 40, somewhat under the income/net worth, or have medical conditions, etc.).

Financial Aid: A family of any income is eligible for grants/waivers ranging up to $9,550 in aid for this particular child. There is a $4,200 Promise Child grant and the $250 WACAP application fee is waived. Please also ask about up to $4,000 in reductions possible on a case-by-case basis and a new private donation for this adoption of $1,000. There is no fee to ask for this child's information file. Please also ask your tax consultant about $13,000-plus Adoption Tax Credit.

Orphan Alert: 6 yo sweetie

Look at this sweet little girl! She needs a family. Love Without Boundaries is advocating for her and she is on the Shared List in China. Her name is Sophie and her SN is listed as Rectovaginal Fistula - she had a colostomy and should receive surgery to repair her fistula and reverse the colostomy, soon. This is what is written about sweet Sophie:

Six-year-old Sophie has been waiting for a family to call her own since early 2010. When LWB became aware of her availability through the Waiting Children Program, we immediately started collecting bits of information on her from people who have met her and from her LWB reports. Every piece of information portrayed Sophie in one light: ”Bright.”

Everyone’s comments about Sophie…her big eyes, her enthusiasm for life, her kindness and happiness…brought me back to this one word. I think even these few photos of her reflect her bright personality.

She is a ray of sunshine that brightens the day of those around her.



Sophie is helpful in taking care of children younger than herself. She has fun riding an adult size tricycle and even enjoys cleaning the floor! Her caretakers see her blossoming into a beautiful young girl.

She tries not to let her special need hold her back in life, although it can be difficult with her level of activity. Another surgery is pending for Sophie, and hopefully after that there will be nothing to stop her from taking life by the reigns!

Love Without Boundaries proudly advocates for adoption but is not an adoption agency. We invite you to contact adoptionassistance@lwbmail.com with questions about a child we have featured and encourage you to contact your local adoption agency for more information about China’s Waiting Child Program.

Orphan Alert: 13 yo girl ageing out soon.

This sweet girl has lived her entire life in an orphanage. She will turn 14 in January when she will no longer be eligible in China to be adopted. Can you imagine dreaming your whole life for a family and slowly watch the dream fade? She just has 4 short months for the miracle to happen for her. Most children look forward to each birthday on their teen years, a sign of maturity and more responsibility. This birthday will indeed mark the end of childhood for her, and a new responsibility of trying to figure out how to make it on her own for the rest of her life. Please, lets find a family for her.

She has a repaired cleft lip and palate. Contact Dick and CHeryl Graham of Bringing Hope to Children at iaap2000@gmail.com for more information about her. I'm not aloud to post her name on a public forum but you can ask for more info about the girl that will age out in January. Her birthday is 1/19/97.

Orphan Alert: 13yo beauty ageing out soon

For more information contact Bringing Hope to Children. This is what they say about her: Xie ChunYuan has to find a family before November 5. On that day she will be 14 years old and under Chinese adoption laws, she will be too old to be adopted...no exceptions will be allowed. ChunYuan has been with a foster family since she was a baby and is a well-liked, friendly young girl. She enjoys school and is helpful around the house. Her favorite stories are biographies of famous people and she will repeat the stories she learns at school to her foster brothers and sisters. ChunYuan is a very pretty girl with rosy cheeks and beautiful eyes. She has waited for so long to have a real family and now her chance is almost gone. In just a few short months it will be too late for ChunYuan. If you already have a dossier logged in, or are close to completing a dossier (or are one of those special families who will move mountains to adopt a child)...please open your heart to ChunYuan. Please hurry!

Just look at this darlin! 6yo healthy girl with speech delays looking for her family. She is in Eastern Europe and you can contact Partners for Adoption for more information.

Orphan Alert: girl with the curls, 3 year old bundle of fun

It's such a tiny picture, sorry about that. I saw this child's profile on Rainbowkids.com this is what they say about her:

When she had just entered the orphanage, her personality was lively and outgoing. She liked to talk and to smile, and she liked to snuggle in the nanny’s arms. She likes to play games together with the other little children. Now, she is already over two years old, and she is incredibly sweet. She can put on and take off her own clothes. Upon seeing another little child drop a toy, she will run over very quickly and pick the toy up. She likes for the nanny to praise her. Every day she is happy and joyous; to see her is to love her. She had some delays and one seizure in 2008 which was treated successfully with no more episodes. She is currently in foster care and sharing her exroverted personality with them all. She is doing well and needs a family to continue to help her developmentally. Date: August 1, 2009

Her file is with Chinese Children Adoption International

Orphan Alert:The little boy with the awesome hair looking for his Family

He has malformed ears and some degree of hearing loss. You can contact AAC Adoptions for more information on him. You can reach them by phone (970) 532-3576 or by email info@aacadoption.com for more information about this child or about their programs in general.


This little Emperor needs to find his family. His name is Nathan. It says on the site that right now they prefer the family be from Colorado, NM, California, Wyoming, Nevada or Utah. Man, Arizona is the only Western state not listed there!

Orphan Alert: 3yo cutie

This little girl is 3 years old. Her file is with Children's Home Society.


This is a description from Rainbowkids.com:
This darling chubby-cheeked girl was born on 3/13/2007. She is an easy going toddler. She likes to mimic words when her foster mother reads her a book. She can say single words. She really enjoys listening to music and will dance along. She watches others closely and will copy their movements. Her motor development is just a little delayed but is improving daily under the gentle care of her foster family. She was born at 32 weeks gestation and has congenital syphilis. We recently received an update of her and she is just adorable. Her cognitive development is rather delayed for her age. She can follow simple commands and has a curious personality. She points out new objects in her surroundings. She waits for a loving family to provide her with endless support. A scholarship of $3000 is available to qualified families.

Orphan Alert. 2 brothers looking for their Forever Family.

Six year old Yu-Hsuan and his four year old brother Yu-Hsiang are a real dynamic duo...cute as bugs, healthy, happy, active and loads of fun! They have been in foster care for almost four years with the same family. The brothers are very close and play together (and quarrel) as expected. Older brother attends school and gets along well with his friends. He does well in school, with encouragement from his teachers. Younger brother has been the baby of the family and foster mom often has a hard time letting her baby do things for himself...but he is very independent and all boy, so she has been unable to stop him from growing up! These two will be a whirlwind of scraped knees, ball caps, bicycles, tree-houses, Kool-Aid stands...and a few tears along the way. But what fun! We need a mom and dad with energy, lots of love, and a sense of humor.

You can find out more about them from IAAP by clicking here. You'll have to register by giving your email and making a password. Then click on Taiwan and find their names on the list.
