He is in pain when he stands, and he needs corrective leg surgery. Otherwise, he's a healthy boy who is cared for very well. He is in foster care, which is a great thing. Although he is cared for, he would still love to find his loving family.

Back on the list!

He's 4 years old, handsome, and awesome! And he can't wait for his family!

Please consider adopting this handsome young man before he "ages out".

Fred is an outgoing boy who was not too shy when talking with adoption agency social workers. He attends school outside of the orphanage, which is a great plus. It is reported that he is quite smart. He’s a very good student and above average. His favorite subject is math. He enjoys playing when outside of school, especially with a ball. He has many friends of all ages. He’s very active and likes to run. He says that some of his favorite things are snacks and new clothes. Fred says that nothing makes him sad. When he sees an injustice for himself or others, he tells the teachers. His caregivers report that he is a hearty eater. He was very polite and always smiled at the volunteers when he saw them walk by during their visit to the institute. He just turned 13 in October, which means he is "aging out" this year. This means he does not get the opportunity to get adopted after this year - in other words, this is his last chance. He also has a $4200 grant to help with his adoption.

Even better - a $12,000 grant!

This little girl now has a $12,000 grant for an adoption! She's 4 1/2, and from Russia. Please consider making her holidays very happy by letting her know that she has a family!

Nine year old boy from Latvia with Diastrophic Dysplasia

This handsome young man is from Latvia and is in an orphanage for the mentally challenged, even though he is quite smart. He needs surgery, and his Pediatrician is trying to advocate for him to go to surgeons who are familiar with Diastrophic Dysplasia. He does not have many friends, due to where he is located (in the orphanage). LPA will consider giving a larger grant to families who will adopt this little boy and give him a chance at having an education and a life full of love.

A $10,000 Grant!

It was announced recently that this little girl, who is 4 1/2, has a $10,000 grant attached to her adoption. She has OI, and is from Russia. This grant, along with the LPA Adoption grant and other grants available, could help a family adopt this child at no cost, if the family is willing to fill out some grant applications. She is waiting for her family, and would love to find them soon!
