Meet Charlie

Doesn't he just melt your heart? He is waiting for a family. He is almost 5 years old and will be transferred to an institution very soon. Could you be Charlie's forever family?




Charlie (5)

born 2004

This darling little boy needs a family right away. He has light brown hair and brown eyes. He is HEALTHY, with only strabismus as a complication to his DS. His grandmother visited the first year of his life, but not since then.

From his caregivers: " The boy is calm and very kind. He dresses himself and eats himself. Speaks some words. Understand when he is addressed by adults, performs tasks on elementary level. Very interested in toys, can concentrate his attention on books, likes musical instruments very much, and especially enjoys �playing� the piano. "

From an adoptive family who visited with him: Charlie was a little shy at first staying near his caregiver but then with prompting began to sing a song and dance with his caregiver. He was able to perform several songs and poems while doing the hand motions with her from memory. After a while he too would come and give us hugs around our legs. He has more intelligible verbalization but still some speech impaired. He is ambulatory and does not have any visible impairments, appearing healthy. (Without labored breathing or pallor)

*** This child is living in the same orphanage with many of our other listed children, with Down syndrome and other special needs. Compare orphanage numbers next to each child's name to identify. Unrelated children can be adopted together, and the typical cost for a 2nd child from the orphanage is $4000. ***

I have $ 100 in my grant fund towards the cost of my adoption
