Congratulations to each of these families! We are over the moon excited with you!

Danny & Declan {Taiwan}

Meet brothers Danny and Declan! We were able to meet Danny during our most recent Superkids trip to Taiwan, but unfortunately weren’t able to meet Declan. However, we have both boys full profiles and really cute photos and video of both boys!

Never have you met a kid you just wanted to hug as much as Danny. With his deep dark brown eyes to his ridiculously cute smile that showcases his 2 dimples, how could you not want a hug from him? When asked about school, Danny said that his favorite teacher is his English teacher. He proudly recited the whole English alphabet.  He told us his favorite color is blue. He also enjoyed answering questions in English with either a yes or a no.

He was focused on all the tasks he needed to do yet very curious as to what was going on around him. He was very outgoing and excited to participate with the volunteers. When asked to write his name he grabbed the pen with his left hand.  Yes he’s a lefty. 

Danny is a 7 year old boy with minor needs. Danny asks his caregivers on a regular basis “When can I have a father and mother?” 

Declan is an adorable 6 year old boy! He lives in the same children’s home as his brother and they get to spend time together regularly. Declan is in kindergarten and is reported to get good grades. Declan is described as being active but gentle, and he will give a “puppy face” if he gets in trouble – oh, I can only imagine how hard it must be reprimand that cute face! He loves riding bikes outside and playing with his friends. Declan is developmental on target with his peers. He has G6PD deficiency.

Could Danny and Declan be your sons? Contact Mary Chapman at mary.chapman@gladney.org for more information.

Duke & Digby {Taiwan}

The littlest set of brothers the team saw was Duke and Digby. Duke is a 4 year old little boy and Digby is a 3 year old little boy.

Duke was the happiest little guy. He came full of smiles. When he was talking about something he really liked his face became very expressive. His voice was soft and sweet. He will be starting school in the fall. His likes dinosaurs, cars and bubbles. When he wants to relax he likes to watch cartoons with his foster dad.

Digby is shy and quiet. He is very nervous around new environments, but once he’s comfortable he becomes very talkative and active. He likes to observe what’s going on around him before trying new things. He likes to play with cars and bubbles.

Duke and Digby both have minor needs. Could these precious little bits be your sons? Contact Mary Chapman at mary.chapman@gladney.org for more information.

Gloria {Video}

Gloria is 3 years old and has ichthyosis. She needs a family! Could she be your daughter?

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.
