> WACAP (www.wacap.org<http://www.wacap.org>) a non-profit adoption agency
> is seeking a family for Angel Marie., age 11 who was originally adopted
> from Asia in August 2010. She is visually impaired and is currently in the
> Midwest US. Her English is excellent and she has a slight accent that is
> almost undetectable. Fees are considered minimal for this adoption and
> include lawyer fees, travel to and from the Midwest, a medical exam, and
> post placement reports. Please do not post her photo on the Internet.
> Angel Marie is described as very smart and well-liked by her schoolmates.
> Recently she has been attending a boarding school for the blind and has
> done fantastic there; she has made great gains and is well liked by the
> staff. Previously, she also excelled in a mainstream educational setting
> with an aide to help with Braille. She thrives with consistent structure.
> She has been selected as "citizen of the week" on multiple occasions.
> Typical for her age, she sometimes has to be asked twice to perform a
> chore, but then she quickly complies.
> She is active in her community service group known as The Helping Hands.
> She loves her gardening club, music, art and physical education. Angel
> Marie attends Sunday School, is very social and loves to play with others
> but can also play on her own. She is physically coordinated and loves to
> be outside riding her bike (with training wheels), riding her scooter,
> swinging and ascending up the rock climbing walls. She thoroughly enjoys
> herself swimming in the water.
> Angel Marie has been in excellent health and has only had a few colds
> since being in the U.S. She is no longer taking medication for Mild Post
> Traumatic Stress Disorder and is doing well. The medication was helpful in
> decreasing over stimulation in social settings and increasing her ability
> to self-regulate. If Angel gets over-stimulated she claps her hands and
> fidgets.
> She can see light and shadows and has recently received her prosthetic
> eyes giving her eyes a normal appearance.
> Sadly, Angel Marie was abused by an older child at the institution where
> she lived before she was adopted. She has since been taught what is
> appropriate behavior and boundaries. We are seeking a family with only
> older children in the home. She is very honest about the abuse she
> suffered and is able to talk about it.
> Angel Marie is not a picky eater but doesn't enjoy broccoli or
> cauliflower. She is independent in all her personal self-care. She sleeps
> well and before bed she loves to be sung too and have her back rubbed
> before drifting off to sleep. She loves and craves affection and to be
> held and rocked.
> She is a jokester and is very witty and has a great sense of humor. She is
> very verbal and can express herself well. She is described as a very
> happy girl with many smiles and much laughter. If she gets upset she never
> yells. She has only cried a few times since she was adopted. But she has
> been attending attachment therapy and does EMDR therapy. She has bonded
> with her adopted mother but not her adopted father yet. However, she
> listens to her adopted father completely. She bonds more easily with women
> than men.
> We are looking for a family who has a home study or can have one ready
> quickly. A family that will be able to provide therapeutic parenting and
> continue her progress with an adoption competent therapist. A family will
> be responsible for any travel fees, attorney fees (to finalize
> re-adoption) and post-placement reporting fees associated with the
> adoption. Married couples and singles may apply. Please contact Lynne
> Mason at Lynnem at wacap.org<mailto:Lynnem at wacap.org> for more information.
> WACAP (www.wacap.or<http://www.wacap.or/>g) is a non-profit adoption
> agency.
