Orphaned Babies in Eastern Europe
I tried to fix the red-eye in this image but it didn’t work very well – the baby’s eyes are normal.
This boy “V” above will be registered for international adoption in June 2011. I think he is positive but will need to confirm.
This is the same baby girl above and below. I think she is positive.
These babies are all in the same HIV/AIDS orphanage with the 1-2 year olds and the 3-4 year olds. Multiple unrelated children can be adopted from this orphanage. The babies in this orphanage are not released for international adoption until they are 18 months old. The children above were all born to HIV-positive birthmothers, although not all of the children are living with HIV. I can inquire about specific children as this orphanage does have PCR test. These babies are not yet registered for international adoption although it may be possible to start your adoption paperwork before the child is registered so you are ready to travel when he/she becomes available. The HIV-negative babies will be adopted by local families. If you start your paperwork in advance, you may be able to adopt one of the HIV-positive babies close to the 18 month age. The first 8 pictures were taken in October 2010. Only married couples can adopt from this country and one of the parents must be within 45 years of the age of the child. I am happy to answer any questions I can about the general adoption process from this country.
Adoption Tax Credit – 2012
*THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED AGAIN*
I previously wrote about the adoption tax credit resulting in a $13,170 when adopting 1 child or $26,340 refund when adopting 2 children in 2010 or 2011.
Joint Council is reporting that the law will change — it will be a tax credit (not a tax refund) for adoptions finalized in 2012.
This article is stating the same.
Toddlers Waiting for Adoptive Families
These children are at the same HIV/AIDS orphanage is this previous post. Multiple children from the same orphanage can be adopted simultaneously and the additional fees involved to adopt a second child are nominal. Only married couples may adopt from this country.
*I don’t know her date of birth but she is 3 years old and I have heard that SHE IS NOW REGISTERED for international adoption. She is a sociable and friendly girl.
Boy. I don’t know his date of birth or if he is registered for international adoption. If you are interested in this little guy, please be in touch and I will inquire. He is not as active as some of the other kids. He really opens up with one-on-one attention. When I visited in March 2010, he was the youngest in his group and not walking yet. He is a very sweet little boy.
Boy. Date of Birth April 2008. I think this little guy will do well in a family. He seems to handle transitions and he has a go-with-the-flow type of personality. I have videos of him. He seems happy and content. He is also affectionate.
Waiting Child Photolisting – BOY born 2004
Holt International waiting child photolisting. Child ID B09_37. East Africa.
This is a little boy who loves toys and is described as jolly. He is reported to be developing quite well and easily adapts to many environments. He currently attends a class at the care center kindergarten. This little boy came into care a few days after his birth. His birth mother was reported to be suffering from a mental illness. He was admitted to the hospital once for neonatal sepsis. In May 2010 he had malaria and received treatment, and is now stated to be doing well. He also recently tested HIV-positive. He is reportedly learning to jump rope and loves to sing. This cheerful little boy waits for a family who is comfortable with his diagnosis and who can provide him with the ongoing medical care that he will need.
To adopt this child, couples must be between the ages of 25-44 and married for at least 2 years. They can have up to five children in the home. Hold is looking for a few families who are flexible and have a pioneering spirit. If you are interested in adopting from this new program, please call the Holt Africa staff to discuss the program: 531-687-2202.
Waiting Children in Eastern Europe
These children are living in an HIV/AIDS orphanage. It is urgent they get committed adoptive families before they get transferred within the next few months. They are only 4 years old and at a critical time in their lives at which their future is about to be decided. I have met all of these children and they are wonderful. Please join me in advocating for them.
Boy. July 25, 2006
This little boy is a really lovely kid who will do great in a family. He is a very sweet child. He gets along with everybody and he is very well liked in his group. He has an easy-going personality and he goes with the flow. He likes to wrestle and get silly like all little boys. It is critical that a family commit to adopting him very soon. Everyone that has met him raves about how adorable and sweet he is.
