In 2016 we had seven of our sweet babies and toddlers join their families through adoption and we have two more little ones in the process of being adopted who will be meeting their new families soon. Our greatest desire for all of our First Hugs little ones is for them to get out of the orphanage, be adopted, and become members of loving families. While we are able to provide love and care for these little ones while they are with us, children belong with parents and in families, not in orphanages, and nothing can replace the influence of family and home in the life of a child.
Two our our babies temporarily left First Hugs in 2016 and are currently receiving special medical care at other facilities, but will be back with us at First Hugs in the coming months. With miss our sweet Sophie and baby YF!
Our most precious Lilah Lu passed away in 2016, after touching hearts all over the world. Lilah Lu was receiving excellent care for a complicated heart condition through Morning Star Foundation and we were all hoping and praying her story would end differently, but her tiny body stopped fighting and she left this earth in April. She was loved by all who followed her story.
We are waiting for the files of several of our babies to be prepared so that they can be available for adoption, but TWO of our sweet ones are file-ready and waiting to be chosen by families right now.
First let me introduce you to the beautiful and amazing "Kendall". Kendall was born in April 2014 and is so precious! She has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and has low muscular tension in her lower limbs. She also has delayed development and a Dandy Walker malformation is a possibility. Kendall has been living at the orphanage since she was a newborn. She has made a great deal of progress and is now walking! She receives therapy regularly and looking at books is one of her favorite things to do. As you can see, she is quite smiley!!
Beautiful and happy Audrey is also waiting for a forever family. Audrey was born in August of 2014 and she has Down Syndrome. She is happy and loving baby who is doing very well and is adored by her nannies. Clearly she could not be any cuter!
