Kayson

, , , ,

Kayson is a bright, outgoing child who enjoys singing. His smile lights up a room!  He was born in October 2008.

In an update received in September 2015, Kayson was described as being in good general condition, other than his eyesight.  At that time, even as a young child, he could walk alone with the use of a crutch, go up and down stairs, walk to school, dress and undress himself, zip, take off his shoes, wash his face and hands alone, hold a spoon to eat, and find items he needs.  He was described as having “strong self-management.”  He is also active and energetic!

As far as his cognitive abilities, the provided update stated that Kayson has a good memory and can remember things after being told only once.  He is very smart!  He can communicate well, understanding direction and cooperating to complete tasks.  He is able to express his needs.  He can hear people’s steps and recognize who a person is by listening to their step. He has a very keen sense of hearing and recognizes familiar sounds.  He easily communicates with those around him.  Kayson loves music and can follow a song along to sing the entire thing.  He loves singing, as well as acting.    

Kayson enjoys playing with other children and chatting.  He is also not picky with the foods he enjoys.  This precious child needs a family to welcome him and love him so that he can have a place to call his own.  Could you be the one to provide him with a loving home?

Wendell is a smart, fun-loving child with a beautiful smile.  He was born in October 2008.

Wendell loves helping his caretaker in the orphanage.  He tries to come help her when he sees her doing certain tasks.  He is reported to be smart and skilled.  He can finish tasks well when the caretakers instruct him to do something.

Wendell is popular with the other children in the orphanage, and the caretakers are fond of him as well.  He is full of ideas and is a leader among his peers.  He is skilled at assembling toy planes and cars and other toys.  Wendell tries to be focused and flourishes under positive affirmation.

Wendell spent many years in a foster family before he was put in an institution again.  The staff at the orphanage show him the pictures and letters of his friends who have lived with him and have since been adopted internationally.  Wendell wants a mom and a dad of his own, too – could this be you?

Cam is a precious little boy who was born in September 2015.

He is described as a quiet-natured child who has a ready smile.  He loves to snuggle with his caretaker. 

In an update from August 2016, it was reported that he could hold his head up while lying on his stomach, roll over, grasp toys near his hand, locate the direction/sound of voices, visually follow moving toys, and laugh aloud.  He could also wiggle his body to the rhythm of music he listens to (he loves music!) and play with his toys alone.    

According to the update, now that he is under the care of a nanny, he becomes more and more lovely, and everyone loves him!

This precious little boy needs a family to call his own – could it be you?

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.

Knox has a very fun and energetic personality.  He loved throwing a ball back and forth with several people from the New Beginnings Team.  He is very active, and he loves to keep the play room alive by playing games with the other children.  Knox’s favorite time of the day is snack time.  He has a very hearty appetite, and he will eat just about anything.  Knox also loves books.  His eyes would dance with delight as the New Beginnings Team would read books to him with vivid stories.  He especially loved the pages with pictures on them, and he would always stare at the photos with wild imagination and amusement.

Knox has cerebral palsy and developmental delays, but he has never let this slow him down.  His condition has only made him grow stronger, and he continues to live every day in the most lively and mischievous way possible. Could this happy little boy be a perfect match for your family?  If you would like more information about Knox, please contact Amanda at 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!
