Meet an Early Bird Likes Children’s Songs: A child waiting this December

December 17, 2017 by Staff Contributor

A picture of YH during his dol ceremony on his first birthday. The photo has been cropped to protect his identity.YH celebrated his first birthday in September!  He is a bright and cheerful little boy. Just after his birthday he could stand alone for a few seconds and walk if someone held one of his hands. He is an early bird—he wakes up happy and talks a lot during the day but gets fussy when it is time for bed. He claps and bounces to children’s songs, enjoys taking a bath and gets excited when he sees his foster family coming home.

The photo from his traditional birthday celebration has been cropped to protect his identity. We cannot share identifiable photos or medical information of YH on our public site but information and many photos are available for families who inquire. 

General Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must be heterosexual couples married at least three years. All applicants should be free of serious physical or mental illness, and criminal history. There are various age requirements for adopting a child from YH’s country, so please inquire to learn more.

Learn More About YH

Please contact [email protected] and reference 117-02 at any time to learn more about YH. A $5,000 child-specific grant is available to his adoptive family (eligible through 1/15/2018). Eligible families may qualify for additional grants through CH/LSS and Brittany’s Hope Foundation.

Meet oTHER WAITING CHILDREN

During December we are advocating for 12 children and sibling groups who currently wait for families. We appreciate any time you take to get to know these children and consider whether your family, or a family you know, could be theirs.
