The Davis Family and more!

This little cutie has been waiting since I found Reece's rainbow and I don't understand why I mean look at him!

James


James is healthy besides his Down syndrome, he was born in  May of 2011 which would make him 2!

there are some rules for adopting James
  • Single heterosexual parents may adopt
  • No family size restrictions
  • Both parents must travel to the country and stay until completion of adoption — approx 5-7 weeks (one parent may leave after a week or two)
  • Estimated total cost $21,000-24,500
  • Multiple unrelated children may be adopted together                                                            

James also has a $5,833.62 grant thought Reece's Rainbow!

Blaine
MI (1)

 born Sept 1999 Cerebral palsy, deep mental handicap, hydrocephaly, complete vascular leukoma, corneal staphyloma, inborn optic atrophy
This child is rather calm, but always smiles when somebody touches him, and always tries to walk with somebody’s support. 
MI (2) From a family who met him in June 2013:   I met Blaine today. When I arrived at the orphanage he was being stretched by the therapist. He seemed to really like the therapist and would crawl to him and hold up his hands so that he could stand up. He can walk if you hold both his hands, and I saw him in a gait trainer, too. It’s very difficult for him to walk as he doesn’t seem to be able to fully straighten his legs. Blaine smiles a lot and seemed to be a pretty happy kid. He did get mad about something and have a tantrum, but it passed quickly. He rocks a lot and makes repetitive noises. He came over to sit by me and took my hand from another child’s so he could hold it. He was very interested in my iPhone.
From someone who met him: He was a bundle of smiles, just desperate to interact with us. [One of the men] picked him up and swung him, they obviously have built up a relationship and he shrieked with laughter…it was joyous! He was made to sit next to Tania for a picture, she hated it but he was just fine! He would blossom in a family and with a life!
Here is $75 in adoption grant money towards his adoption.
Blaine sounds like a happy child who would be great in a family. He does have some institutional behaviors but I think that's just from a lack of love and maybe him being bored it could probably be corrected if he was in a family.It also sounds like he will need therapy for his Cerebral Palsy  and he has vision problems which will also need to be addressed when he gets home.I love his smile In the picture above, he needs a family right away as he is already 14.

 meet the Davis family who are in the process of adopting Steven ,Taylor and Katie met at Brigham Young University on the very first day of college as freshmen. After a couple of really fun years dating and Taylor serving a mission for the LDS church, they were married in August of 2005. They have four incredible children ages 7, 5, 3, and 1, and are excited to make it five. Katie is a stay-at-home mom and loves it. Taylor works as a Statistician at KLAS Research. As a family the Davises are happiest when they are spending time together. For the past few years Taylor and Katie have felt that adoption would be part of their family’s story and they are thankful for the experiences they are having as they work to make Steven part of their family. They have already learned a lot from their adoption journey and they love this little boy and look forward to their future with him.
