5 Waiting Children from Bethel China

June 12, 2016 Children Who Wait 0 Comments

During the month of June we are joining Bethel China in highlighting children who are available for adoption. All of these children are blind or have significant vision loss. All of them need a forever family. For more information on any of these children, please email Anna at Bethel China.


Richard is a cute four-year-old boy with Cortical Visual Impairment. This means that his eyes work just fine, but his brain has trouble interpreting the information. The good news is that CVI is treatable with therapy! In the last few months, Richard has been going to therapy and his improvement has been miraculous. After just one session, he learned to walk and since has been happy exploring the world around him. He can now walk, crawl, and use signs to ask for toys. Though he’s not verbal yet, he has recently begun imitating sounds and we hope
he’ll start talking soon. Richard is such a wonderful example of what therapy can do for a child. We would love to see him in his own family where he can get the support that he needs.

Taylor is 8 years old and has been at Bethel for four months. He has learned to walk since coming, but he still loves to be held and snuggled by his teachers. He likes to play with other children but James is his favorite friend. Taylor is very curious, and it’s been a joy to watch his world open up. We would love to see this boy in a big family with brothers and sisters that he can explore with!
