I want to introduce you to Sadie. I would tell you how precious she is, but I think her picture will prove that point much more effectively than I could.
Sadie is five and a half. She has mild Cerebral palsy; right side hemiplegia. She is able to dress herself and does use her right arm as an assist but not as a dominate arm. She has tightness in her muscles on her right side. It was reported that she trips sometimes especially when she is going fast, but Pat Marcus did not see this.
Pat Marcus met her in June. She spoke about her in this webinar from 17:50-18:55.
Sadie likes fruit and does not enjoy fried foods. She likes to play outside, she walks, she runs. She is a delightful little girl who shows how minor a need CP can be.
She attends the orphanage pre-school and is able to communicate with her wants and needs with peers and caregivers.
Sadie is available for adoption through a partnership program that Gladney has with the orphanage responsible for her care.
If you would like more information about Sadie you can contact April Uduhiri at April.uduhiri@gladney.org or 212-868-4565. You can also contact me at erinmrtn@yahoo.com if you have questions about her or about working with Gladney. Both of our girls are "Gladney babies" and I'll be glad to tell you about our experience with them.
Sadie is also listed on Reece's Rainbow. You can make a tax deductable donation to her adoption fund here. The full amount of the donation goes directly towards adoption expenses for any family that chooses Sadie. I am excited to be able to mention this option for people who may desire to help a specific child but be uncertain what they can do!
