7 New Kids on the Block
Sully is an adorable little boy from China that just recently turned 4 years old. Sully is blind but has some light perception, and he has post-operative hydrocephalus (he has a shunt). Sully is a very lucky little boy because he lives in a special foster home in China called Bethel that is specifically for blind and sight impaired children. He is getting excellent care at Bethel and is receiving rehabilitation therapies that he would normally never receive in a regular orphanage. Sully arrived at Bethel when he was just around 9 months old and he has been there ever since.
Paxton is a cute little guy who is 5 years old! He has a condition known as osteochondroma. This means he had some minor growths on his body that are non-cancerous. He had a small growth on one of his fingers that has since been surgically removed. Paxton has great language ability and can communicate with his caretakers and peers very easily. He doesn’t have any mobility delays and is quick in reaction. Paxton gets along very well with others and is closest to his caretaker. If you’d like to review Paxton’s file, please contact one of our matching specialists!
Lacey is an adorable girl who is 9 years old! She has a bone defect that affects the movement of her left leg. She can walk, run and jump but just at a little bit of a slower pace than her peers. Her file suggests that she has good motion coordination and can even kick a ball and ride a bike. She is a great help to her caretakers and is always serious about helping out with the younger kiddos! Lacey has normal language development and gets along very well with other children her age. Lacey takes school very seriously and always tries her best to improve. Great Wall is currently working on getting some updated information on her. Contact a matching specialist if you’d like to review her file!
This sweet kiddo’s name is Wyatt, and he is four years old! Wyatt’s medical file indicates that his right eye has been removed and that he has glaucoma in his left eye. From an update that was received in December, 2015, his caregivers indicate that he can see up close out of his left eye. Due to the glaucoma in his left eye, he will need surgery and additional treatment.
Despite his vision impairment, Wyatt is a sweet, curious kiddo who love to laugh! Wyatt was sent to live with a foster family in 2013, and has thrived under their consistent care. Wyatt has excellent cognitive and language development, and is able to recite children’s poetry! He loves to dance and does not appear to have any mobility delays despite his vision impairment. Wyatt loves animals, and loves to feed ducks the most! He is a clever and sweet child who would thrive with a forever family’s care! Please reach out to Great Wall China Adoption if you’d like to learn more!
Ace is a sweet little boy from China that is almost 6 years old. Ace is blind in both eyes and has some developmental delays. Ace is a very lucky little boy because he lives in a special foster home in China called Bethel that is specifically for blind and sight impaired children. He is getting excellent care at Bethel and is receiving rehabilitation therapies that he would normally never receive in a regular orphanage.
Ace is in a class for children with additional needs, as he is still non verbal. He is learning to communicate with a mix of vocalization and sign language. Ace has some developmental delays and he has some characteristics of a child with autism, although he has not been diagnosed with autism by professionals. Ace loves hugs and cuddles and loves music and will hum along to the songs he listens to. Ace is a child that really needs a consistent routine, so any family wanting to adopt him will definitely want to keep that in mind.

Jasper is a cute little guy that is 4 years old! He has limb differences of his hands and feet but his file suggests that this doesn’t affect his mobility. Jasper is described as being a curious kiddo who always wants to learn more about his environment. He is smiley and active and loves to be teased! He can walk independently but is sometimes a little unstable. Jasper’s file is outdated so we are working on getting some updated information on him. Contact Great Wall if you are interested in learning more about him!
Felicity is an adorable little girl from China that is almost 4 years old. Felicity is completely blind, so she is a bit more delayed than some of her friends in terms of her gross and fine motor skills. However, Felicity is doing quite well in many other areas. Felicity can now stand and walk by herself. Sometimes she gets scared because she can’t see where she is going, which is to be expected for a child that is blind. However she is gaining more confidence about her walking skills all the time.
Felicity is described by her caregivers as “more smart than others.” She can count from 1-20, she can sing songs and she can speak words and short sentences. Felicity has really good hearing and she enjoys listening to music a lot. She can also listen to television shows and can generally follow the story lines just by listening. If a caretaker tells her to come to an area of the room, she can go to where the caretaker is instructing her.
Felicity does tend to be more introverted and plays more by herself because she can’t see things and that make it hard for her to play with other children. She does have a close relationship with her caregivers though and she really enjoys interacting with them. Felicity would benefit greatly from being adopted by a family that could give her specific therapies for blind children that she is not currently receiving in China.
You can contact the China Home Finding Team at Great Wall if you would like to learn more about adopting Felicity. We hope we are able to find Felicity her Forever Family soon!
