Ollie is a cute little boy, born in July of 2009 with complex CHD including, but not limited to, VSD with pulmonary atresia and collaterals, mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. Ollie is living in a foster family. He wakes up at 7:00, takes a nap from 12:30-1:30, and goes to bed at 8:30. He goes to school in the orphanage from 8:00-2:00, Monday through Saturday.



Ollie’s caretakers say that he is clever, adored, and has big bright eyes. Ollie is said to be active and outgoing. He has a quick reaction and a good memory. He likes to recite the children’s songs and poems he learns at school to his foster mom once he gets home. Ollie can write simple Chinese characters, numbers and the phonetic alphabet. He really likes to draw, do handiwork, build with blocks, go outside, and play games with other children. He gets along well with all of the other children.

We hope this upcoming birthday will be the last one Ollie spends without a forever family of his own!

Arlo’s caretakers describe him as smart, delightful, and bright-eyed. They also say he is active, positive, and that he has a good memory. He can remember the children’s songs and Tang Poems taught by the teacher and can recite them in front of the other students in the class. He can write simple characters, number, Pinyin, and letters.



Arlo likes drawing and playing games with his friends. He gets along well with the other children. Arlo was diagnosed as a baby as having bilateral basal ganglia softening. We can’t wait to see photos of Arlo with a forever family of his own and a big smile on that sweet face!

Ty is a sweet little boy, born in December of 2011 with Down syndrome. Ty goes to class in the rehabilitation and education classroom of the orphanage from 8:00 to 2:00 Monday through Saturday. He is said to be an active and positive boy with a pair of charming eyes. He can put on and take off his clothes, wash his face, and eat independently.



Ty likes to help his foster dad and mom clean the table, put the bowls and chairs in place, and put toys back in the toy box. He is positive at school and is interested in new things. He gets along well with the other classmates and they, along with his teacher, all like him.

Ty enjoys listening to music, dancing, and playing with toy blocks and balls. His favorite programs are Spiderman, Boonie Bears, and Pilgrimage to the West. Dancing is Ty’s specialty though!



Ty’s caretakers note that he has good motor and mental development. We hope Ty’s forever family sees him very soon!

Ollie, Arlo, and Ty need families with an approved home study to be able to hold any of their files or to move forward with adopting any of them.
