Meet Dmitriy

Dmitriy (4)

Boy, Born December 26, 2005

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Little Dmitriy may not be able to see you, but he can hear you and feel you and wait for you to come for him. He is 4 1/2 years old and was born with only one eye and the other is blind. He is blessed to still be at the baby house, but is facing the institution soon.

Dmitriy has been listed with us for nearly THREE YEARS :((( We are so glad to have an updated photo of him and greater opportunities at this orphanage.

From his medical records: multiple congenital abnormalities of the central nervous system and facial bones, congenital cleft hard and soft palate, microcephaly, congenital cataract (leucoma) to the right, anophthalmos to the left. He is blind.

One of our adoptive families who visited with him in March of 2008 says this of him: " This little guy is very much still a baby, but has very little chance of being adopted because he has no eyes. He was responsive to the caregivers and liked the security of their arms."

This new photo is from October of 2009, when Dmitriy was visited by our facilitation team. He is doing amazingly well, considering the fact that he can not see anything at all. He is able to stand on his own now and is very active! There are many families out there hoping to adopt a blind child, maybe Dmitriy will find his "forever family" at the end of Reece's Rainbow!
