She is three years old and was recently left in her home country. She had a family commit to her and after the long adoption process they traveled and met her, and once you get your child you have a 24 hour window when you can say that they aren't the right fit for there family, there needs are to much or they aren't bringing them home for whatever other reason and that's what happened to this little one.. (We aren't going to talk about her family she had because I did not know them and it's not my place to do so) unfortunately Her country has told the adoption agency that they will pull her file and deem her Unadoptable if a family does not come forward. That can happen any day now. I can tell you, this sweet girl has NO future where she is at. As a community, this little girl NEEDS us to rally for her, we need to SHOUT from the rooftops and flood the gates of heaven with prayer for Juliana.
This is what is said about her;
Juliana is a playful, happy little girl who was born in December of 2011. She was diagnosed with Down syndrome upon admission to her orphanage. During her infancy, she was slow to adapt to her
new environment in the orphanage, crying often and eating very little. With nurturing and care, her appetite and sleep improved. When her caregivers tease and tickle her, she would smile, wave her hands, and kick her feet in joy!( What a joyous little girl!!) When she was nine months old, she could turn her head to locate the direction of music and other sounds. She was able to sit independently in a chair at one year of age. Her caregivers describe her as introverted and she enjoys quietly watching her caregivers and peers. Her language skills, growth, and cognitive development are behind in comparison to peers of her same age. When her caregiver talks to her, she smiles sweetly and makes “ah ah” sounds! An update from 2014 indicates that her receptive and expressive language skills are limited to which she cannot understand words spoken to her and does not respond to verbal requests. (Which MIGHT be due to her needing ear tubes, the same thing was said about my sister and when we got her home she had tubes places and now she is hearing much better now and understands everything!)
She gets along with other children, though she seldom interacts with them. (If I couldn't hear what they where doing I probably wouldn't be playing with them either)
She is able to roll over
and sit up by herself, and grab objects for a short period of time. She is in good health and we have a video on file of her playing and smiling!
By the way everything that looks like this ( ) is written by me.
All in all she seems like such a sweet little girl and she needs her family to find her quickly, before they pull her file (which could be any day now as I said above). My heart breaks for this precious little one. PLEASE help me to spread the word about her and her story! PLEASE Donate to her if you can!! PLEASE pray for Julianna. We must not let them pull her file, We have to find her family!!
