Cole

Look at this little cutie with his big, outstanding eyes!

This is Cole. He is two years old. He was one of the first kids in the room when we saw him in September. He and Courtney came in at the same time. When Keely gave Courtney her helmet we all expected her to be upset by it. Boy were we wrong! Not only did she love it, but Cole was super jealous that she got a helmet and he didn't!

He is a smiley, friendly little boy who is very inquisitive. He was so interested in all of the toys we had with us! He imitates words and is starting to say some words in Mandarin. He scribbles with a crayon, puts objects in and out of a container, and stacks blocks. He walks independently, walks backwards, and walks up and down steps.

Cole has several medical needs including heart and liver involvement as well as an abnormal brain scan. When asked what she would like to tell his adoptive family his nanny replied that she really wants him to grow up and be successful because he is very smart.

Are you my Mommy?

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

Wordless Wednesday

Precious Maddox! {Taiwan}

Maddox is a precious baby boy who was born in June 2015. Maddox has a sweet smile that he shares with his caregivers. He makes eye contact when being held or talked to, and he startles at loud noises. He can roll front to back and can hold his head up for several seconds. Maddox will reach for objects and can grasp small objects when placed in his hands.

Maddox has Down syndrome and after much consideration and love his birth parents have decided that making an adoption plan is best for his future. 

To review Maddox’s full profile, including medical information and photos, please contact Taiwan Program Caseworker Mary Chapman at mary.chapman@gladney.org.

Haley

Haley is an outgoing, talkative 10 year old girl who loves outdoor sports such as roller skating and basketball.

We met her in September and she loved stringing beads and drawing with us. She is good at imitating and had so much fun counting in English after us! She was so cute and proud of herself when she would do anything we asked her to do!

We have little notes written about her like so sweet, cute, smiley, silly, and confident. She likes doing housework but is not so fond of doing homework.

Haley has a repaired cleft lip and palate.

She is in foster care and attends public school. She gets along well with other children. She writes her name and is reading some characters.

This sweet little girl needs a family to call her own! Could she be your daughter?
