An Update On... REID!

Yesterday we posted about Remy, today we are posting about his friend, Reid.

Reid is a smiley, talkative boy who is in 3rd grade at public school. He was very proud of speaking a few English phrases to us. He is a smart boy who put complex puzzles together for us. He speaks both Mandarin and the local dialect and can read and write. He speaks very clearly in long, complex sentences.



Reid has treated hydrocephalus.

Reid is an active little boy who loves to play outside and run. He like to play ball too, as you can see! Keely noted that he throws and kicks hard!

Reid is a great little boy who needs a family! Could he be your son?

An Update On... REMY!

Remy - I smile when I think about this little boy. He is a little bit shy and talks quietly, but you can see his fun personality when he grins and it really comes out when you watch him play!

Remy is almost 10. He has slight paralysis and is a little bit weaker on his left side, but you hardly even notice it when you meet him. He can do activities such as screwing a lid on a small bottle with his left hand, but prefers to use his right hand for this type of activity.

He is in 3rd grade at school. He does addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts and reads and writes Mandarin.

His favorite toy is a bicycle, and at this orphanage the children do spend time playing outside and have outside toys.

Remy needs a family. He is doing well in the orphanage, Just imagine how he would flourish in a family. Could he be your son?

Meet Mark! {Taiwan}

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round…  Mark one day wishes to drive a real bus. For now he loves pretending to drive the bus. He was quick to look out the window as he pretended to drive and tell the caregiver all the locations he thought I would like. Of course after I gave him my bus ticket.

After our time pretending to play bus he decided to explore the play house. It wasn’t long until we were playing hide and seek. Of course it was much easier for him to find a place to hide… and he was so excited each time he was found. He would give a giggle and wrinkle his face so much that he had to push his little round glasses back into place.  Just when I thought that he was tired of the game he asked his caretaker to ask me to hide again. What a precious little guy!

Mark had an extra digit removed from his right hand when he was an infant. While he has some muscle weakness, he has good mobility of his hand and fingers.

The happiness on his face and the sound of his giggles still ring in my mind. This little guy is looking for a special family to call his own. Could that family be you?

For more information on Mark, please contact Taiwan Program Caseworker, Mary Chapman, at mary.chapman@gladney.org.

Happy Monday!!

We are so excited for all of these precious children and their families!

Leroy!

We visited Leroy for the third time in April. We glanced at this paperwork then looked a little closer. It was Leroy's 3rd birthday! So we sang, and Leroy got 2 packages of fruit snacks rather than the standard 1 package per child.

My favorite memory of Leroy from the April trip is how much he loved looking at himself in the mirror! He looked and giggled and kissed himself then looked at himself again. It was just too adorable!

Leroy has Down syndrome and CHD. He was sooooo close to walking when we met him! He stacked cups for us and really loved looking at books. He babbles but isn't saying words yet.

Another thing that brought peals of laughter from him was playing peek-a-boo! And his laugh is so cute! We couldn't help laughing with him!

Could this amazing little boy be your son? Please contact April Uduhiri at april.uduhiri@gladney.org for more information!

Dewey!

Dewey now has a $4,500 grant through Gladney!
I

've met a lot of children in China over the years. But there are always a few that stand out in one way or the other. And on that note, meet Dewey!

Isn't he just too cute!? Look at that little grin! ACK! I can't even handle all this cuteness!

Dewey is 2. He is active and outgoing. We have met little Dewey multiple times and in April the advocacy camp volunteers played with him too. They described him as affectionate and said he enjoyed playing with bubbles.

Dewey has CHD and a cleft palate. He is curious and happy. He is walking and starting to put 2 words together. His nanny told us she thinks he is "very, very smart".

He follows simple commands, stacks blocks, and puts crayons back in the box. He scribbles on paper. He had so much fun on the little slide that was in the room! He loves looking at himself in the mirror too!

Dewey needs a family! Could that be you?
