Meet a boy who loves to dance [includes video]

March 20, 2017 by Staff Contributor

A photo of DW's face, smiling huge. He's wearing a jacket with different shades of blue and his hair is cut into a bowl cut. He's waiting in Asia for an adoptive family.DW is an active, smiling 6-year-old boy who recently joined volunteers in  our Connect for Kids program. He currently waits in China for an adoptive family.

The thing that really makes DW shine is music. When volunteers would turn on the tunes on their cell phones he would start dancing and beaming with delight.

DW is currently living with a foster family and attends an orphanage preschool.  Volunteers visited his school one day and met his foster mother; DW and his foster mother were happy to see one another and seemed to have a good relationship. DW would be best in an active family who can help him seek his potential.

General Eligibility Requirements

All applicants must be at least 30 years old. For heterosexual married couples, there can be no more than 50 years’ difference between the youngest parent and the child. Single women are eligible and cannot have more than 45 years’ difference between themselves and the child. Applicants cannot have serious physical or mental health concerns. Eligibility requirements vary so please inquire to discuss individual circumstances and eligibility.

Learn More About DW

The volunteer who met DW just hosted a webinar to talk about him and the other children in Connect for Kids. You can watch the recording of the webinar now. You can also contact [email protected] and reference 216-44 at any time to learn more about him.

Watch the recorded webinar to hear from volunteers who met DW

Eligible families may qualify for a grant through LSS/CH and Brittany’s Hope Foundation.
