>Cradle of Hope Adoption Center, a nonprofit adoption agency with 25 
>years' experience, is seeking adoptive families for two blind children:
>
>Gordon, age two, was born blind and abandoned at 10 months of 
>age.  He is in good health and has made good developmental 
>progress.  Gordon walks, understands directions, and  likes to be 
>outside for a walk in a stroller.  He is described as a gentle boy 
>with a ready smile. He likes to play with a music box, rattle and an 
>electric car.  Gordon needs a family of his own.  Can he be your son?
>
>Sweet Julia just turned two.  She was born with congenital aniridia 
>(an ocular problem which has left her blind) and abandoned in a 
>children's hospital a few days after birth. Julia has made good 
>developmental progress:  she can walk alone, loves to be outdoors, 
>and has excellent hearing. Julia is described as cute and 
>obedient.  Her speech is developing nicely and she is in good 
>health.  Can you be the parent(s) Julia needs to reach her full potential?
>
>One trip overseas is required to adopt.  Adopting parents must be at 
>least 30 years old, financially stable, and able to provide a good 
>future to Gordon or Julia.  Single women and married couples are eligible.
>
>Please contact me for more information.  I look forward to hearing from you.
