Meet a Shy Boy Who Turns 6 Next Month: A child waiting this December

December 15, 2018 by Staff Contributor

A little boy smiles at the camera as he sits in an orphanage in Asia.SM will celebrate his 6th birthday next month! He waits in Asia for an adoptive family.

This little boy is known as quiet, shy and polite. While living in a center that is considered “a large family,” SM has become well liked by his caregivers and the other kids. He’s even made a best friend. When the “aunts” and “uncles” come to visit, SM will greet them with a shy smile.

SM attends school, can understand general instructions, has good independent skills, assists with daily chores and shows improvement with self-regulation. When he has free play, SM enjoys playing with toy cars and drawing.  A recent report indicates he can walk, run, and jump despite his needs.

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 this waiting child

We cannot share medical information on the public area of our site, but more information and photos are available. If you would like to know more about this 5 year old, please contact [email protected] and reference 218-24. A $5,500 child-specific grant is available to his adoptive family (expires 1/31/2019). Families may qualify for grants through CH/LSS and Brittany’s Hope Foundation in addition to the child-specific grant.
