Diane - AGING OUT!

Diane has 1 year for a family to adopt her before 

she ages out of the adoption system!

Darling Diane is 13 years old (born Nov 2007), and her file lists her as having development delay and high muscular tension. This high muscular tension is more than likely caused by Cerebral Palsy, affecting her mobility and language but not her intellect.

This girl is pure Joy!

Pictures taken early Jan 2016

Diane is a girl who SHINES!!!  Here is what a recent visitor had to say about Diane:  "Just from me meeting her the other day - she has a very bright and contagious personality.  She obviously has CP that affects her physically, but her intellect is quite clearly fine.  She is truly amazing.  I was impressed to watch her playing and communicating with one of the other boys, she is attentive and learning, and would do so well in a family."

Diane is very smart and can express herself well with her body language but she does struggle some with verbal communication.  She can clearly call her caretakers "auntie."  Diane also learns very quickly in class and retains what she has been taught.  She is also very eager to learn new things!

Isn't she lovely?

Diane is an amazing girl and has overcome many challenges to keep up with her peers.  Previously, she could not even sit or feed herself.  Now, she can feed herself, sit up independently and can clap her hands during music time.  Diane is somewhat introverted and likes playing alone, but she does interact well with her peers during activities.

Sweetness!
Love her smile!

Determined Diane can walk by holding onto something for support. Her caregivers are not sure what her mobility future will hold.  She would definitely benefit from therapy.  Diane is also competitive as she won a crawling competition on Children's Day!  She has great motivation of learning and wanting to do her best!  She has good focusing ability and looks forwards to trying things.

This lovely, smiley girl needs a family who can see the hidden potential in this gem!

Diane is now back on the shared list.  Please contact Erin Schmidt, ICC's Adoptive Families Coordinator at erin.schmidt@chinaconcern.org to get her identifying information if you wish to have your agency pursue her file.

Charlie

Charlie is an adorable 7 year old boy (born Nov 2011) who when first brought to the SWI had no obvious medical problems.  His medical need is listed as development delay which seems to manifest in verbal delays.  He is usually a happy toddler and has bonded well with his caregivers.  Charlie is currently living in the welfare center, and is not in ICC care.  But the ICC staff regularly collaborate with the welfare center staff, and see many of the paper ready children who reside there.

Looking so grown up!  Praying this year your family finds you!

March 2015 pictures - the many faces of Charlie!

Charlie is growing up!  Such a handsome boy!

Heart melter!

He is able to walk around as long as someone holds his hands or he has something to hold onto.  He babbles a lot and says words like "mama," "baba."  He interacts well with adults and cries appropriately when he needs something.

Charlie loves to play with balls and spend time outside.  He will be a huge blessing to any family, has loads of potential once he has one-on-one attention to help him get past his delays.  This sweetheart needs a family to help him blossom.

Charlie is now on the shared list.  Please contact Erin Schmidt, ICC's Adoptive Families Coordinator at erin.schmidt@chinaconcern.org to receive his identifying information if you wish to have your agency pursue his file.
