If you love all things silly and fun, then you will absolutely love Knox. Knox is a bold seven-year-old boy that loves playing and staying active. He was born in June 2009, and he met the New Beginnings Team on November 2, 2016.

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.

Could Rosemary be the perfect match for your family?  She was born in January 2008. Rosemary is a happy, delightful little girl.  With short black hair and bright brown eyes, Rosemary will melt your heart with her contagious smile.  Rosemary met with the New Beginnings Team on November 2, 2016.

Rosemary is extremely ticklish. Despite the fact that Rosemary wore layers upon layers of clothing, she would still laugh until she was pink in the face when the New Beginnings Team would poke her little belly.  Rosemary finds happiness in the simplest of things.  She especially loved being talked to.  The New Beginnings Team would sit and talk to her for hours, and she would smile and grin from ear to ear.

Rosemary needs a forever family to love her unconditionally.  Because she has cerebral palsy, she needs a family that will support her and give her the opportunity to live a happy, productive life.  Do you think Rosemary is the missing puzzle piece to your family?  If you would like more information about Rosemary, please contact Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org.

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.

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.
