Waiting Child- Kayley

Sweet, beautiful little Kayley is 5 1/2 years old.  She is waiting for  family to step forward and claim her for their own!



Kayley likes to play with other children.  She enjoys being tickled and her favorite toys are building blocks that are shaped like snowflakes.  Sho loves candy and snacks and knows to say 'thank you' for her snacks.

When asked to by caregivers Kayley can point out which other children are her friends.



She is receiving language training twice a week to help with her development and it does seem she has made great strides in the last year!



Here is what a Superkids volunteer said after meeting Kayley: "We really enjoyed our visit with Kayley! She is very outgoing and full of joy. Her caregivers report that she has made great strides in the past year and is very talkative and eager to learn. She was very friendly with the other kids and the adults and loved playing with the toys that we brought. She counted easily and was talking in full sentences. She identified all of the objects on our picture cards and imitated the English words. She loved playing the piano and listening to music. She also likes to sing and put on a little show for us! Kayley appears to be a happy, active and friendly little girl!"

Doesn't she sound precious?  She is very close to Annika's age and I can certainly assure you that it is a wonderful, darling age!  Can't you just imagine her twirling into her family's life and adding so much sparkle and joy?

Kayley is from a large orphanage in Asia.  She is a part of Gladney's partnership program with the orphanage in charge of her care.  To learn more about Kayley please contact April at april.uduhiri@gladney.org.  Or you can email me at erinmrtn@yahoo.com if you have questions about working with Gladney.  They helped us bring both of our daughters home so I'll be glad to answer any questions!
