Waiting child Wednesday

Please click on their names to learn more about them

Emerson (2)
Meet adorable Emerson, couldn't you just imagine seeing this sweet face every morning?Little Emerson is three going on four in October so hopefully next year he will be able to celebrate his birthday in a family. I don't understand how he hasn't been scooped up yet as he is so young, maybe it's because he's waiting for you?There is a $47+ adoption grant available through Reece's Rainbow.

From Reece's Rainbow:
"Boy, born October 2011 PRC Progressive Muscular Dystrophy
Emerson is a shy, quiet, and lovely boy. Though he’s fairly introverted around strangers, once he’s in a familiar environment he’s quite lively! He loves playing with blocks, and even by himself he will be very quiet and focused when building with them! Emerson was initially diagnosed with liver dysfunction, but when it didn’t respond to treatment they tested for muscular dystrophy (elevated liver enzymes are often found in children with MD from the muscle breakdown as opposed to a liver dysfunction), and found he was positive. Currently they don’t see any symptoms of the muscular dystrophy- he can sit, crawl, and walk while holding onto something! Emerson also demonstrates good fine motor skills; he can scribble with a pen, pick up small objects with his thumb and forefinger, stack two blocks, and turn the pages of a book. When looking at books he loves to point out the pictures. He can feed himself finger foods, and cooperates when getting dressed. He understands simple instructions, like being told to pick up his toys, and can point out his eyes and nose when ask. Emerson is able to imitate simple words like “mom” and “dad.” This sweet boy is waiting for his family. Are you the ones he waits for?"

The next child I want to share with you guys is Alexis he is in Arizona but can be adopted anywhere and his adoption would cost little to nothing.
Alexis - Male, age 10

Alexis is ten years old who sounds like a sweet boy who would be a blessing to any family. Alexis has a contagious laugh,loves to take pictures of himself doing silly faces, wonderful helper, and always willing to do stuff his foster parents ask. Alexis wants to be a dad and work in a hospital when he grows up, can you be the parents that help Alexis accomplish his dreams and help him be all he can be?You can learn more about adopting Alexis Here.

The next child I'm posting today is Javier he is in Kansas and can be adopted anywhere and his adoption would cost little to nothing.

Javier V 4_30_15

Javier has the most amazing smile don't you agree?

From NDSAN:
"Javier is a social young man who is a very quick learner. He loves to play with toys that talk, looking at picture books and signing about animals. Javier uses sign language to communicate with others. He knows about 40 words and is working on learning more. At, school his favorite thing to do is hang out with his teacher, staff and his classmates. Javier will need lots of supports in place in school and in the community. He will need a family that is willing to advocate for Javier and make sure that his special needs are being met. Javier would do best in a two parent home that will continue to teach him how to complete his daily self-care needs. His forever home will need to be very structured and provide Javier constant one-on-one contact.
Javier would do best in a 2-parent home where he is the youngest or only child. An ideal family would be one close to Kansas, so that there can be several visits for a successful transition."
