Raul

Raul is doing pretty well! He has a new playpen, which he loves, because it gives him the ability to roll around and play unlike his crib. We are still working on his medical visa!

Rest in Peace Costel

Little Costel was at the clinic for a short time early this fall, and then was sent to a bigger hospital where he spent a few months. Unfortunately, he died of cardiac arrest just last week. He had many medical problems, so this was not unexpected, but everyone will miss little Costel!

Merry Christmas Tutova!

My Babies

My little girl will be turning three on Thursday! She has been moved to the room with beds for the older toddlers, but it has been reported that she has a worsening hair pulling problem!

My little man is looking happy, and even chubby!! He turned one last month. And his skin looks great too! I am still working on getting him a medical visa, but we have hit another bump in the road.


I look forward to seeing them both soon!

Raul Turns One!

Unfortunately I was very sick on Raul's birthday, 10/19, but luckily a few days before we were able to light a candle for him on my mom's birthday cake! I heard he was in a good mood for his birthday, and that Dan wished him a Happy Birthday for us all! We were hoping he would get his passport the week of his birthday, but we will have to be patient a little longer. We haven't forgotten you baby boy!

Raul on his 6 month birthday last Spring!

Volunteers Needed!

There are currently only two volunteers signed up to be in Tutova for Christmas, on a team starting December 18th. Also only two volunteers signed up for the team starting January 1st. Could you join this team and help the children celebrate?

There are currently NO volunteers signed up for the four teams between February 12th and April 16th! This is way too long for the children to go without the stimulation from volunteers. Could you volunteer any of these dates? February 12th, March 5th, March 26th, and April 16th?

New Babies!

Costel was born April 16th, 2010. He has some congenital malformations, but the volunteers aren't sure exactly what at this point.

Ana Maria was born February 10th, 2010, and only weighs about 6 pounds. They believe she has a heart condition and a genetic growth problem.
