UPDATES On Keven, Brandy and Zeke

All these wonderful children have found their families...

I am THRILLED they are receiving surgeries to help their burn injuries and getting things reconstructed for the injuries they sustained.

I will ask their moms if I can share new photos of their children.

Thank you for sharing them... Thank you for praying for them...

EBBA ~ update 2-5-2015

EBBA

EBBA has a cheery outlook to have been through so much tragedy.  She lost her mother right after she was burned... because her mom felt sooo guilty and decided she could not live with herself having a child with disfiguring injuries.

Ebba continues to learn new ways to help herself.   having lost one hand completely and the fingers of her right hand, she has learned how to use her remaining thumb to open "smarties" candies and share.  She has learned how to use h er elbow joint to hold things and her thumb acts as a "pincher" to grasp things to pick them up.  I bet she can dress herself and manage her bathroom needs on her own.

The BIG news is her adoption fees have been greatly reduced to help her find a family she needs.   The costs for Ebba’s adoption have been greatly reduced; it is estimated her adoption would cost around $15,500.

She would be a great candidate for Shriner's Children's hospitals.  I know the one in Cincinnati has one AWESOME burn unit to help kids like Ebba.

Please check her Reece's Rainbow link: http://reecesrainbow.org/86897/ebba
She has a Reece's Rainbow account where donations are tax deductible.  If you are inclined to donate, those would be GREATLY appreciated as well. 

Meet EBBA (from Africa)

Beautiful 8 year old Ebba desperately needs a family that is willing to take on the challenges of her burns and give her a new life. People who have met her says she is the sweetest thing. Ebba fell into the fire at her home after trying to cook; she fell into the fire when she fainted due to being so hungry. Her mother could not live with what happened to Ebba and took her own life, leaving Ebba an orphan. Could you be her family or know someone that might be?

From a family who spent several weeks with her in Dec 2014/Jan 2015:
She is the sweetest and so loving and so gentle and so friendly and so precious and so smiley. I could go on FOR DAYS.

She does have a thumb on one hand and can hold things and eat using it.

Shriner's in Cincinnati can help with her burn scars.  My concern is her photos do not appear to show her able to fully close her mouth.  I can only assume she was burned on her chest area and her hands were severely injured.  For MORE info please contact:

I would LOVE for this child to find her FOREVER family.  In her country she has little chance for a regular life. 

Cory HAS AGED OUT January 17, 2015

This precious one really gets to my heart as in every single picture he is hiding his hand and wearing a hat (except in the one pic that I am certain they made him take his hat off). Sweet boy, I pray you will get to know the love and acceptance of a forever family and that one day I will get to see a picture of you waving to the camera with your sweet, scarred hand while holding your hat with the other!

Awesome Cory is 13 years old and is listed as having head-face scald scar, left hand post scald scar and convulsion, left hand fingers missing deformity. He ages out in January y'all!

Wonderful Cory is described as active and outgoing. He is said to like to play cards and chess, watch cartoons and outdoor activities(such as football,running), getting along well with other children. He was attending school at the welfare center but his grades were so good that he was sent to a public school. He is smart,responsive, witty and disciplined. He studies hard and learns quickly. Cory won first prize in the mid-term exam and won the second prize in the final exam. He likes PE and football, often playing football with other kids. His favorite season is summer as he does not like winter,because he does not like cold weather.

“He wants a family, he hopes to be cared and
loved by his future parents.”

Wonderful Cory’s file has been released to the shared list. Please email me for more information.

CORY HAS AGED OUT!

ZEKE is now CAMERON

Hi All,  It's been a while since I last wrote on my blog.  Computer died in January... but I am back and updating on Zeke.  Zeke is STILL WAITING! He has a new list name of Cameron.  Cameron/Zeke is older and still amazing!

Here is an updated Blurb about Cameron/Zeke

SHINING EYES AND A BEAUTIFUL SMILE ...
**Cameron's quiet, gentle spirit will capture your heart right away. He is a four year old boy living in an orphanage in a ...large Asian country. His caregivers describe him as a cooperative little boy who is shy, modest and loved by staff and children alike. Cameron loves picture books and music, and would love to have a mom or dad to cuddle with. He loves the outdoors and toys that make noises. Even though Cameron has palm deformity on both hands  (fused fingers and contractions) , he is able to eat independently and draw lines.

Cameron was abandoned at age three in a local train station. We don't know the story of how he acquired the significant burn scars on his body, but we are sure that Cameron needs a new beginning. Cameron needs a family who will help him make his way in the world and shower him with unconditional love. Could your family be Cameron's new beginning? Contact us today at myriam@agapeadoptions.org for more information including lots of pictures and videos of this beautiful little boy.**

The above was written just recently Cameron/Zeke still waits. Shriner's in Cincinnati  can help.  PLEASE see the inside of this child... He deserves a chance of a lifetime... a FAMILY!!!
