Please Help Jake!

*********UPDATE!!!!!!!!!***********
Jake's family has found him!!!! He will be coming home soon to join his sister who is also from China!!!! Congratulations to Chong Xue and his new family!!!!!!!!! :)



This is "Jake". Isn't he just about the cutest little guy you have ever seen???
He is available for adoption through Hawaii International Child. http://www.h-i-c.org/

Jake lives in Guilin. He is currently in foster care and he is 4 years old. His special need is "ambiguous genitalia". He has had chromosome tests and he is 100% boy! He will need some reconstructive surgery.

If you or anyone you know might be interested in bringing Jake home please contact Janet Jin at Hawaii International Child. She has one month left to find his family. You can also contact me. I have his file and I have Janet's permission to share it in order to find him a home.

Our family does not qualify to adopt Jake because we have not been married for 5 years yet. Even though we have adopted twice from China we still do not qualify to adopt again until May.

This is part of Jake's file:
Being with teachers another kids, he is now getting more active and outgoing. He plays happily and is more and more handsome. He is good at mimicking. He can mimic details in daily life, like carrying baby at the back and go shopping at vegetable market and wash vegetable and cook vegetable. He is more and more skillful at riding bicycle. He can turn around adeptly. He is the famous rider in the class. He likes to be clean and handsome. He often says his cloth pretty. Whatever paining or playing with toys, he likes to pick up the bright color. He is friendly to his peers. After he helps other kids, he will say proudly ‘ I am the big brother’. One thing to note is that he can concentrate on the same thing for a while to finish it. He can participate some activities that last long. He likes to play with play-doh. He is very good at pressing, rubing and twisting it. He makes crackers and peppers with play-doh. He can associate his artcrafts with the things in real life. E.g. he puts flake of different sizes on the string and will say it’s a phone. He will pretend to make phonecalls , holding the middle of the string. He can say a complete sentence which is understandable, like ‘ feed the candy to rabbit’. He can have simple language communication with adults. If there is something unsatisfying, he will cry for a while, but easily get comforted or reasoned. He will calm down.

Please help me find Jake a home!

Sharon, He is just precious! Alas, we no longer qualify, either.
Hugs, my friend!
