New child soon to be listed!! girl, 12 years old, with arthrogryposis, from a family that met her early 2014: She is SO smart and funny and has the best sense of humor. When we were in there, she asked the staff if it was possible to get a family for herself, but they felt the answer would be no- because no one would want someone as badly disabled as she was. She can do nothing for herself physically, her limbs are twisted very badly, and unlike many of the others, she cannot feed herself. She lies on the couch and another older girl, also disabled, comes and feeds her. But she is amazing- despite her lack of formal schooling, she has memorized poems, and such. But she is also a fantastic conversationalist. She reads, can write some (limitations of her arms), has an incredible memory and method of delivery of things she has memorized (she also sang for us). She loves the color yellow and loves dressing up to feel pretty. She also loves to watch cartoons, but is ok with serious dramas on tv too lol! shes spending her days on a couch, wishing for a family she fears will never come because her limbs are twisted and she cannot be useful. I am praying with all my heart that there is a family out there that recognizes that a persons worth is not measured by what they can physically do- and will cross the ocean to call her daughter, because I truly believe she would be an incredible addition to a family. Shes spunky and overcame her hesitation about potential rejection, in order to ask me if I would please see if I could find her a family.
