Zero the zeros !!!

Although I want to see ALL the 6-9 year olds with money on their grants, I will on occasion share the profiles of some individual children. Today I'll share one child from each of the five 6-9 year old categories. First, we have:

Denis D. 13G

8tox-13
Denis D.

Date of Birth: February 2005
Gender: Male
Eyes: BrownHair: Dark
Character: CUTE AS A BUTTON!

SINGLE MOMS WELCOME!

$0.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

His updated photo makes me feel so sad - from a happy,smiley boy to a child who looks so very different.

Danielle 2H

Date of birth: November 2003
Gender: Female
Eyes: Gray
Hair: blond

ALREADY TRANSFERRED
Temperament: Affectionate, easy to come into contact, show interest, with childrentalking to their peers is friendly. Good girl.

MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE, SINGLE MOMS WELCOME

$0.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

See the dreaded words - ALREADY TRANSFERRED. She needs a mommy and daddy, not a bed in an institution.

Matvey

Boy, Born August 28, 2004

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Matvey is such a cute little boy, with blonde curls! He is cognitively delayed, but does not seem to have any official diagnosis other than that. He has amazing potential!! He was transferred to another region in 2010.

Please give this little guy a chance to fulfill his potential! One of our own adoptive families who visited with him in March 2008 shared this with us: "This little guy did NOT want to be photographed! He was quite happy doing whatever he was doing before being brought into the room but having his picture taken was not high on his priority list. He has "deep mental delay" (understand that this is according to Eastern European standards — he was more aware and alert than a child with Down syndrome might be at the same age). I can't tell you his eye color because he down-right refused to look at me, but those blonde curls sure were cute!"

$0.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

This picture breaks my heart - for I am sure that this little guy is absolutely gorgeous, but his mommy and daddy just haven't had a chance to see his smiling face yet. Maybe seeing his zero go away would put a smile on his face ??

Janna

Girl, born January 2005

Look at Janna's long lovely fingers!

Janna has a congential anomaly of the brain. Both pictures we have of her she is lying down — she desperately needs a family to rescue her. Once she is transferred, she will likely be left in bed for the rest of her days.

There are many children in this orphanage who could be adopted together.

$0.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

Please give Janna a chance to NOT spend the rest of her short life laying in the same bed day after day, month after month, year after year. Please help give her a chance!!

Yelena

Girl, Born June 2004

What a beautiful, glowing smile Yelena has! Beautiful blonde hair (all hidden under her kerchief). Yelena is HIV+. She so badly wants a family of her own.

$0.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

With a smile like that, you'd think she would have been adopted already - but sadly, she hasn't, and she is still a zero. Please help . Five children - 5 orphans - 5 zeros. How quickly can we change that ? How quickly can we get rid of those zeros ?? I've said it before and I'll say it again - it might seem like such a small thing, but I just know that once we get rid of those zeros, these kids will have a much greater chance of being adopted. Baby steps...we CAN do it !!
