There were 4 BOH host only kids who came for the winter camp program that did not find forever families. I am including their information below. Anyone interested can contact Patrice Gancie (pgancie@cradlehope.org). I really hope that these kids all find their families. It may be possible for them to be hosted again this summer if there is a family interested. Also the host families could provide additional pictures and information from their hosting experience to potential families as well:
Sveta, 7 years old--a fantastic, smart, spunky girl. An issue for any prospective family is that Sveta was burned by boiling water than spilled from a stove a few years ago, so she has scars on her back, stomach and legs. The family took her to a burn specialist who said Russian doctors did a good job of treating the scars and doing skin grafts, but she may benefit from some further surgery on one leg. But her mobility isn't affected at all, and she's amazingly not self-concious about the scars. She easily changed into a swimsuit to swim with the other kids, and when one little boy asked about the scars, she simply said they were from an accident a while ago.
Anya, 12 years old--beautiful, smiling, caring girl who was the escorts' helper, wonderful with the younger kids. She has a 15 year old brother in the same orphanage, and while we were told she could be adopted separately, it was clear she missed him and wants to stay together with him in a family. We're trying to find an older empty-nester couple who would consider them.
Aleksandr, 10 years old--Bright and happy, very affectionate. His single host mom is still considering whether to adopt him. He is active and busy, but I was with him a lot and I don't think he was out of hand.
Aleksei, just turned 11--I love this guy. Bright, considerate, a little gentleman who can be a charmer once he becomes acquainted with someone. He was staying with a host-only family, and we just didn't have anyone who wanted to meet him.
