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.

This amazing boy is waiting for a family.  We are calling him Robinson.  He was born in December 2004 and met the New Beginnings team in November 2016. He touched the heart of each member of the team.   He was curious and showed us how much he understood and how much he can do.  He listened well and followed two-step directions.  His caregivers reported he is afraid of the dark.  Robinson was turned down by the school for being overly active.  He has droopy eyelids, which is known as Ptosis.  His file states that he had some surgery for his eyes, but was not able to complete second operation secondary to scar tissue.

Robinson wrote numbers and copied simple shapes.  He saw our ball pump and immediately inserted it into a ball to pump it up.  He can run, jump and throw a ball.  He can stand on one foot.  He is happy and full of curiosity.  He was able to write numbers in English for us.  When Robinson saw a Lego set the team had brought, he immediately built a novel animal. We began to think of him as “creative Lego boy”.   He can change his clothes, bathe and feed himself.  When it was time to leave, He said thank you to us in English for the Legos we gave him.

Robinson needs a family to guide him.  He was turned down by a school for being over active and that will affect his future.  He complied with every activity the team presented and was creative with his Legos.  A forever family could make such an amazing difference in this happy boy’s life.  Is he your son?  For more information about Robinson, please contact Amanda@NewBeginningsAdoptions.org.
