Jesse

We met Jesse when we were in China in October. He is such a sweet little boy!

Jesse is 7 years old and has a cleft lip (repaired) and palate and some burn scars, he also appears to be somewhat developmentally delayed. He doesn't talk much yet, but seems to understand everything that is said to him.

He loves assisting with simple chores such as sweeping the floor and setting the table. He dresses and feeds himself and likes playing outside. This little boy is really sweet and will bless his family in so many wonderful ways!

When we met him, he had just been re-located to the orphanage from a different location. He was just starting the special education class at his new orphanage.

This sweet little guy came into care when he was approximately 5 years old. His inability to communicate means that there are a lot of questions regarding his past.

This little boys needs a family! Please contact us at superkids@gladney.org for more information.

Andrew {Taiwan}

Never has there been a more happy go lucky little dude than Andrew.  There is not one picture of him where he is not full of life. He gladly participated in every task he was asked to do, turning the task into a fun game.

He thoroughly enjoyed playing with all the toys especially a scooter and a giant yellow ball that seemed to be as big as him.  Andrew gave everyone in the room a huge belly laugh with the surprised look on his face when he picked up the yellow ball to throw and it went a few feet in front of him. 

Andrew thought it was hilarious to imitate English, so every time an English word was said he repeated it back.  He liked to repeat back car, banana, and some colors. He also counted from 1 to 10 and said it perfectly in English. He even took it a step further and blew us away by counting from 1 to 100 in his native language. Ending with the biggest sigh, as if to tell us “I got this, next.”

Andrew is a 5 year old little boy with minor delays. Could this playful boy be your son? Contact Mary Chapman at mary.chapman@gladney.org for more information.

Meet Isaac

I was told about this cute little boy who needs a family. I agreed to write an advocacy post and get his information out there where parents could see it. So I opened up the Dropbox folder containing the information we have and this little face greeted me.

Oh my! Just look at him!

Isaac is 4 years old and has microtia. According to al of the information we have, his hearing is good and he is developmentally on target, though possibly a tad delayed with speech, he is speaking, but not yet in complete sentences.

This little guy sounds like such wonderful child! He dresses himself and likes to take baths. He enjoys playing in the water and having water fights is one of his favorite activities. He is described as active and imaginative. He likes to dance to music on the TV.

He sounds so perfect! And his only need is the way his ears are formed. Seriously, look at him!

Could he be your son? Please contact us at superkids@gladney.org for more information.

Mel & Milton Update! {Taiwan}

Meet brothers Mel and Milton. Mel is the older and Milton is the younger of the boys. These two boys are the sweetest, most tender hearted boys around.

Not only was Mel one of the gentlest, most well behaved boys but he was also smart. He could put together a package of Legos in record time. Once done he would gaze at his masterpiece and glow with pride at the work he had just completed. Without being prompted he said “Thank you,” when we told him that the Legos were for him to keep.

Milton was very shy and quiet at first and took a lot of cues from his brother Mel. To get Milton to warm up, we played an animal matching game with him.  It wasn’t until he matched two cards and said in clear English "frog", which caught us off guard, that we all burst into laughter and high fived him, that he came out of his shell. His competitive side started to come out after that and it was game on. When he got a match he would look up and give us a full face smile.

Mel and Milton played a game of “Spot it” and besides being quick learners of how to play, they both quickly became champions. Each one beaming from ear to ear when they won a round against the Superkids team volunteer. They clapped and smiled for each other when the other one won a round. You could see the brotherly love they had for each other.

 Mel and Milton have no known medical needs. Could these two boys be your sons? Contact Mary Chapman at mary.chapman@gladney.org for more information.

Hugh

Hugh is such a handsome little guy! It looks like we have dimples there!

Hugh will 6 years old this week. He has a corrected, minor medical need which we will be glad to speak about with any family interested in seeing his file. He seems like a smart, amazing little boy!

You know those little boxes that the orphanage checks for developmental abilities? They are all checked on his form! He can go up and down steps, he runs and jumps. He counts to 50. He speaks clearly in long sentences. He really seems to be doing so, so well!
