Waiting Children in Ghana

by Bethany, posted in Children Waiting for Families

This little girl is waiting in Ghana. Please contact hislittlebeacons@yahoo.com for more information. Here is a brief introduction to adopting from Ghana. More info after the picture.

Girl. Date of birth 18 August 1997. There is a $1300+ grant through From HIV to Home which will reimburse travel expenses for the adoption of this child. She is a delightful girl and is  described as a “ray of sunshine”. She arrived at the orphanage quite ill, but she is on medication now and she is doing very well. **Update – sadly, this girl took a turn for the worse in summer 2010. She was hearing voices in her head telling her to do things. Schizophrenia is suspected although it may be some other mental health disorder. Resources are limited in the area for an actual diagnosis. She needs a family that can help her get the medications she needs to thrive, preferably someone who is familiar with similar mental health issues. When she is healthy and not hearing voices, she is wonderful and helpful and a ray of sunshine.

Fees are $6700 for a single child with special needs. (Includes all in-country fees. There are no agency fees. However, USCIS filing fees, fees related to homestudy and dossier preparation, as well as travel and accommodation, are not included).

Time line for Ghana is typically 9-12 months from dossier submission.

 

Boy in Uganda w/HIV & Down Syndrome

This little boy needs a family. Look at his smile! Here is some brief info about adopting from Uganda although Salem might have some additional information.

Special Needs Adoption

J. has Downs Syndrome and is HIV+. He also has some other health issues that will need to be taken care of once he is adopted.

I spent a lot of time with this little guy and he is amazing. He is three years old but looks and acts more like a 9-12 month old. He sits up on his own, scoots around on his belly and likes to scoot around in a walker (he can’t actually walk forward but propels himself backward). He has the best smile and loves to cuddle. He really likes standing up now (if you lift him into a standing position) and is gaining strength in his legs. He has an adorable giggle. He isn’t fussy, is generally quite content and happy unless you take his food away before he is finished!

He is living in a wonderful babies home, but really, really needs an adoptive family and access to medical care and therapy.

Please let me know if you are interested and I can get you more info and send pictures and video.

Feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested.
