We are desperately seeking families for a 2 1/2 year old and 3 year old little girls in Eastern Europe. This country moves very quickly for special needs adoption. Both girls are cognitively doing very well! They are adorable and have a very bright future as part of a family. For more information please emailnina.thompson@chiadopt.org


We are currently seeking a family for a darling baby girl with down syndrome in India. She is 11 months old and has had wonderful care but needs her own family to thrive. Please email nina.thompson@chiadopt.org for more information!


Urgent, girl 13 aging out with nevus needs family with homestudy by June, up to $9450 aid.

Can you have a homestudy by June?This girl must be adopted before she turns 14 and can 't be adopted anymore. It is too scary to think of her being a older girl in Asia, self conscious of her nevus, alone without a family forever, with limited options & resources, & little chance of marriage as she matures. 
Please read about CBY:
She wants to be a designer when she grows up. When asked what she wants most, she responded that she wants a big family! She is in 7th grade and has average grades. Her caregiver reports that when she was admitted to the orphanage, she was behind in school but has caught up and is now considered to be at the same intelligence as other children her age in the orphanage. She enjoys listening to music, playing with other kids and talking to friends. She prefers to have a few close friends. She likes to watch TV, and her favorite program is a show that describes how to solve family issues. She describes herself as easy going and open. When she is angry, she cries. Her favorite colors are yellow, blue and green. Her favorite people are two caregivers. Potato chips are her favorite food.

She prefers pants to dresses and seemed self-conscious about the large, non-raised bluish hairy nevus on her legs and lower trunk. Her caregiver says that she has not had tuberculosis and her lungs are fine.

She said she will miss the orphanage when she leaves. She has friends who were adopted by families in Norway, ItalyCanada and the US, and she keeps in touch with them sometimes on weekends. She said it makes her sad when her friends leave the orphanage.She spent as much time as she could with our staff, showing them around and being a delightful hostess.
