Scarlett is a precious little girl from China that just recently turned 7 years old. Scarlett has a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta which means that her bones are more fragile than most peoples. Scarlett also has clubbed feet and some joint stiffness in her knees. Scarlett can pick up items with her fingers though, she can unbutton buttons, take off her own clothes, and turn pages in a book one by one. Scarlett can also stand up on her own when she is holding on to something. She tends to be more introverted and shy, especially around strangers. Scarlett is just like any other kiddo when it comes to playing though. She loves to play with toys and with her friends. Scarlett gets along well with others and she is able to verbally communicate with her peers and adults, though her language is a bit delayed. Scarlett can clap her hands, blow a kiss goodbye and she can point to things she wants and her caretakers will bring them to her. At this time Scarlett cannot control her defecation or urination, so she does wear diapers.

Willa is a precious little girl from China that just recently turned 6 years old. Willa appears to be physically is healthy but she is developmentally delayed in some areas. Willa did not come into the orphanage until she was 4 years old, so it took her a while to adjust to living in an orphanage setting. Willa is more introverted and shy and enjoys listening to music and watching television. She doesn’t like to talk a lot but she can speak and understands what other people are saying to her. Willa can speak 5-10 word sentences. Willa can follow simple instructions and is cooperative when doing activities in class. Will enjoys playing outside and participating in games with the help of her teachers.
There are some indicators in Willa’s file that she might be on the autism spectrum, however that is not directly stated anywhere in the file. Many of her delays could potentially be due to the fact that she was abandoned at an older age and that she is still very sad about losing her family and that she has never fully adjusted to living in the orphanage. She could be struggle to connect to others because she still thinks her birth family might be coming back for her, even though they are not. It is hard to say for certain, but this little girl is clearly in need of a loving Forever Family that will make her feel safe and secure in the knowledge that they will never leave her or forsake her.
