Edited on August 2010. Oksana (Olivia) is home with her family, and Marshall's family is on their way!
Meet Marshall
Boy, Born January 11, 2007
Girl, Born May 2, 2005
Miss Olivia was born with CP. She has sandy brown hair and striking blue eyes, with a fabulous smile! She is medically healthy besides her CP. From an adoptive family who visited with her in June 2009: Olivia has CP and the caregivers
say that she has shown a bit of a cognitive delay as well. From what I can tell she has trouble with her legs but is much stronger than Monroe. She is one happy little thing and is always holding her arms out to me. She is tall too. I think I've heard her speaking some Russian. She is just so sweet."
Little Olivia wants a family so very bad! Every time she sees me she calls for me, "Mama! Mama!" and just cried. It just breaks my heart. Today I gave her a big hug and she just melted into my arms, she let me hug her for a long long time. She is starving for attention and wants love and affection. Who doesn't?
I know they say she has a cognitive delay, but this could just be an orphanage delay (I would feel confident to say any child in the orphanage might qualify as delayed, regardless of a special need or not, orphanages cannot provide the stimulation that a home can give)
Olivia's CP is very mild and only her legs are affected. She can pull herself up to standing and she can walk holding on to someone or something. She loves to snuggle and she does ask for a Mama and a Papa. Are you her family?

You will have to scroll down and find her picture, she has a (12) by her name.
oh she is darling. I often see her and think oh she is so precious. Little boy is cute as a button too. Someone please take them home!
ReplyDeleteWe are Marshall's prayer warriors! My family is sooo excited to see another picture of him (and a little dismayed to see he's still wearing pink...LOL!) I am so glad to hear a good report and to hear that the staff is cuddling him. We pray for that everyday. My kids are praying for him to have a mom and dad, a brother and sister, and a dog and cat. We've decided a guinea pig is optional. :)
ReplyDeleteBless you, bless you, bless you for posting this. I am over the moon!
OH my goodness they are beautiful kids! I hope they update Olivia's picture with that second picture of yours! She's a doll! :D
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Marshall in pink! hehe I hope these beautiful kids are blessed with forever families!!!
I looked for Olivia and didnt see her, I thought she was precious and I pray she has a Mama and Papa now. I thought she is just the little girl I been waiting for.
