This beautiful little 3 year old girl was born December 2007. She is a cheerful toddler described as being inquisitive and active. She focuses on her activities for long stretches of time and plays with concentration and interest. She says words and sentences and has learned some rhymes. She loves doing puzzles. One of her favorite games is “Mothers and Daughters” sometimes pretending she is the mother and sometimes pretending she has a mother. She also likes to pay “Barbershop” and she styles the hair of all the dolls. She is active and she runs, jumps and steps over obstacles. She eats carefully, enjoys using her utensils and napkin, brushes her teeth, looks after her own appearance and dresses herself although she cannot yet fasten buttons.


This toddler girl has recently become registered for int’l adoption. She is HIV-positive.

This adorable little guy has recently graduated from the baby room to the toddler room.


Vadim was born in 2001. He lives in an orphanage in Ukraine. He is HIV-positive. He was living with a single mother in a foster-care situation with the intention of becoming an adoptive family but the foster-mother got married and had a baby and decided not to adopt Vadim even though he was expecting it. Obviously he was very hurt by this. He did not adjust well to the new situation and began acting aggressively for more attention so now he is living in an orphanage. He also has some learning issues (probably ADD). He would do best in a home where he is an only child or the youngest child. Costs to adopt Vadim are in the $22K-$25K range which includes in-country fees, travel, lodging, passport, visa.

RainbowKids.com is reporting about a wonderful group of children in Colombia who have been diagnosed as HIV-positive and are waiting for families. These children may be adopted by single people or married couples. There is flexibility for the parent’s age and the number of children in the home. These are not siblings; these would be individual adoptions. For more information, families may contact Adopolis. Pictures and information are available upon request. These children can also be adopted through other agencies working in Colombia so keep in mind that there may be other families reviewing the same file. Basic info about adopting from Colombia here.
