He attends pre-school five days a week, and he gets along with his peers easily. He is potty-trained and can dress himself. He is usually an active little boy in his familiar environments.

He loves playing with toys, especially toy cars and airplanes.

Nashville

Is Nashville the missing piece to your family? He was born in April 2013. Nashville is a bright, delightful little boy.  He met New Beginnings Team on November 2, 2016.

Nashville has a contagiously playful personality.  He is very ticklish.  Just one little poke will throw this child into a fit of giggles.  He also loves to run around the play room, racing around the other children as fast as his little legs will take him.  Nashville has an abundance of energy.  While the other children were quietly coloring and playing with their toys, Nashville was vigorously scribbling his crayons on coloring pages with a big toothy grin.  While Nashville has a very energetic spirit, he is also very kind and plays well with others.  The New Beginnings Team admired how Nashville always shared his toys with the other children.

Nashville has Down’s syndrome.  However, Nashville’s greatest need is a forever family.  He needs someone that will love him unconditionally, support his medical needs, and give him the opportunity to live a happy, productive life.  Could you be the answer to this little bundle of joy’s dreams?  If you would like more information about Nashville, please contact Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org.

Meet 5 year old Marshall and his 4 year old sister Marnie! Our partner agency met these adorable siblings for the first time during our visit to Taiwan in April.

Marshall is an active little guy with lots of fun energy – he just wants to play! While we were meeting he had so much fun making a game of everything. He found a pillow shaped like a lion and gave us a big ROAR! He told us that his favorite color is red and that’s why he picked out his red shirt to wear. He also told us he loves pizza, but not rice. Marshall is attending kindergarten and showed us that he knows colors, shapes, and how to count to 12.

Marnie is lively and sweet, and she is sometimes shy around new people. She told us that she loves to play on the slide at the playground and to do puzzles at home. When asked what her favorite food was she smiled and said “candy” – what a typical 4 year old response! She just started attending kindergarten earlier this year and really likes going. Her foster mom told us that the teachers report she is a good listener and always follows the rules.

Marshall is suspected to have ADHD and some delays. Both children are living in foster families, however not the same family. We are still waiting to receive the children’s full profiles, but we have more information and photos that can be shared. Please contact Amanda Ashcraft at Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org for more info!

Zachary is a sweet boy born in March of 2004.   The Promise Kids team met in him China in November of 2016.  He is handsome and has a sweet round face.  His caregivers were very excited to share how much this amazing boy can do.  He could not wait to dance for the Promise Kids team.  Here is the video showing how proud he was of his dance.  It was a sweet moment for everyone.

There are many special things about this boy.  Zachary is usually shy with strangers, but warmed up to the team very quickly.  He loves watermelon and is not picky about food.  His favorite activities are using computers and playing games.  He attended a local kindergarten and primary school, but now receives education in the SWI.  His favorite activity is homework.  The caregivers reported his understanding is good and he is a very helpful boy.  He assists them in all activities.

Zachary has Cerebral Palsy and has had surgery on his arm.  He was noted to have some athetoid movements.  He can write his name and use the computer to type as per report.  He did write his name for us.  The caregivers stated he knows addition, subtraction and multiplication.  You can see in the video how well he can move and his dance was adorable.

Zachary is almost 13 years old.  This means his time to find a family is limited before he ages out.  Zachary is a wonderful boy with a sweet personality.  His smile warmed the room.  Is he your beloved son?  For more information, please contact Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org.

Jackson

Jackson

The Promise Kids team met an incredible boy on our trip.  We are calling him Jackson.  He was sweet and had a gentle manner.  He was born in July 2006.  He is approaching 11 years old.  Jackson goes to a special school, and he likes math.  Jackson was able to add three digit numbers and subtract two digit numbers.  He spoke in sentences and wrote his name in characters.  He was described by our translators as a very fluent in Chinese.  He also enjoys painting.  He can run, jump and play ball.  Jackson has a winning smile and related so well to everyone on the team.  He was a little shy initially, but was proud of everything he could do.  He warmed up to the tem quickly.

His current diagnosis is mixed hemangioma. However, this is uncertain and he is also mildly delayed intellectually.  He has enlarged lower arms and hands.  He also has a kyphosis and blotchy purplish red discoloration on his back and arms.  Jackson was in a foster family and it was reported that he attended a special school, but it was not clear when this actually occurred.

It is important that Jackson have a family as soon as possible to help find the answers to questions about his medical issues and he is quickly reaching the age that aging out is a concern.  He is a kind and sweet boy who would be a wonderful addition to a family. Is he your son?  If you want more information about Jackson, please contact Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org.

This handsome boy needs a family to help him take the next step into his future.  The New Beginnings team met him in November 2016 and we are calling him Brooks.  He was born in January 2006. Brooks likes to sing songs and wrote his name in characters for the Team.  His favorite toy is puzzles and he shared that his favorite color is red. Brooks is a good listener and the caregiver reported he likes to help take care of the younger children.  He showed us his independence by trying all our activities and refused any help. He was sweet, gentle and connected with each member of the team.  He has a winning smile. His caregivers strongly advocated for him and they were committed to his developmental therapy.

Brooks shows great determination in all he does, as he has Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Diplegia.  He has had several muscle surgeries, as well as what they are calling a “brain paralysis operation”.  He walks with a walker, but only used it for light support.  He can dress himself and was able to button and unbutton his coat, and take his shoes and socks off/on.  Brooks can do all his own self care except for bathing. He can get off the floor to his walker without any help. He could learn to do so much more with the help of a loving family.

So Brooks waits for a family to see his amazing personality, sweet spirit and determination.  He is a boy with unlimited potential. He has come so far and is doing so well! Are you ready to help Brooks take his next step?  Could he be your son?  Please contact Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org for more information about Brooks.
