Another sweet boy who waits is Nicholas.
Nicholas recently turned 10 and is an outgoing boy who likes to socialize with everyone, whether children or adults. He also likes when volunteers visit the orphanage and is very enthusiastic about performing for them.
Nicholas has some weakness on his left side, but he can still hold things with his left hand, and work with his other hand to do tasks like stringing beads. He can also use his left foot to kick and can run and jump without issue. He was receiving rehabilitation for his left side until this past September, when he started school. He also has some nystagmus of his eyes.

Since he didn’t have a good academic foundation, he has a had some difficulty with school. However, caregivers feel he is very bright! He can do addition and subtraction, is fluent in Mandarin, and knows some simple English words. There is also video of him reading and reciting!
Nicholas enjoys playing hide and seek as well as playing with toy cars. Caregivers say he is always happy, and they all like him.

There is quite a bit of information available for families caring for a loved one with cerebral palsy (CP). Here are a few resources:
You can also read a great blog post about parenting a child with CP HERE as well as HERE.
Nicholas’ file is currently on the shared list which means that any agency with a China program can help with his adoption. However, WACAP (our agency for Mycah) may be able to offer a $4000 grant for qualified families.
If you think that Nicholas may be the missing piece in your family, please email me or contact WACAP directly at ckids@wacap.org.
My prayer for today is that Nicholas's family would find him soon!
