if not our home...then maybe yours?
This is Spencer. This week Mike & I inquired about adopting him. Sadly due to new CCAA regulations, his file cannot be transferred to another agency, nor can we transfer to the agency that has his file. Mike and I were both excited that this little chap would be ours. His special need is club feet and although they tried to correct it surgically in China it will require casting once back in the States.
Please read about Spencer, pray his family finds him soon so he can come to the States and receive the care he needs.
from Small World Adoptions
Spencer had surgery of bilateral equinovarus in The State Hospital, Hu Pei province from November 23 to December 20, 2006. He was also prescribed afixed orthodontic plaster boots for his lower legs after surgery to wear every night. His foster mother took very good care of him by changing his diet. Because of the severity of his club feet, he was not able to stand up normally even after surgery. He still needs treatment and physical therapy for a while because of the developmental delay of his leg muscle.
Spencer is able to walk everywhere in walker. He is able to lift the walker to step up the stairs. He needs his foster mother to hold his hands to walk because of his feet. He can speak 1-2 words and call his family members. He is able to express his needs when he sees the other kids eating. Spencer is an extroverted, active boy. He obeys most of the time but has a little temper. He is very easy to comfort by hugging, playing outside or having his favorite food. He is very attached to his foster mother and does not want to be touched by others when outside.
If you would like more information about Spencer please contact Small World Adoption
UPDATE: Spencer's file is on hold...which means a family is interested in adopting him!!! Please pray or send good wishes his way, and to all the children who wait!!

What a cutie! Club feet is on our list (though we're in the same boat you are...committed to CCAI). Someone will be lucky to love that little face.
In way, I'm glad we don't have waiting children programmes here in Aust... I'd be filing to adopt them all!!! CC@@ send our Govt agency a few SN files a year, and our Govt goes through our files to see if THEY think we are suitable, then offer for that family to see the childs file. I don't really think that's the best way to do it - but that's how its done here.
I hope Spencer's family find him very soon.
Small world is a great agency, I almost went with them, but then chose CCAI due to their waiting child program. Are you in the waiting child program with CCAI? Hopefully you will find your child there. Oh, and by the way, I can't believe you visited my blog! I am your secret pal! With all that has been going on, I haven't gotten your box out yet, but look for it this week!!!

I hate the fact that we can't find a child elsewhere
I didn't know our hands would be so tied.
He's adorable, he'll find a good home surely
What a sweet little boy - I sure do hope that a loving family adopts him very soon. I am so sorry that he was not available through your agency.
Hugs,

Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks? I'm glad his file is on hold now.
They make it pretty hard to switch agencies now, you have to basically re-apply, pay for everything again, and re-do everything (though sometimes agencies will waive their fees).
