Oliver from the Ukraine

Oliver, who is 5 1/2 years old, lives in an orphanage in the Ukraine. We think he may have Diastrophic Dysplasia. He does not get out of his crib much at all and it has been reported that the orphanage workers lean over a crib to feed him instead of holding him. LPA has a wonderful family who is advocating for him, and has offered a matching grant to anyone who gives to his grant, up to $2000 until August 19th. So, if you were thinking about helping, here is a great way to do that! Click on the link below and it will tell you more about the grant. We would love to find his family soon, because he is at risk of going to an institution if not.

Check out this post to find out how you can help.

Great news! Emilio has found his family!

We love to hear this kind of news. We're thinking great thoughts about Emilio and his family as they make the journey through adoption.
