This little boy needs a family before it's too late...

It just breaks my heart to see so much potential and love being lost.  Look at his smile!  Look in his eyes!  He's going to be 12 soon.  12 yrs without a family :(  12 years of a family missing out on what an awesome son he would have been ....If this boy isn't adopted soon, all his chances for a healthy life will be gone.  And not just because he has HIV, but because he'll be out on the streets, alone, with no future.  I can't stand to think of it.  It's not supposed to be this way!  Please pray for Vlad.
Vlad Boy, Born September 22, 1999

From our facilitator who has visited with him: HIV. Vlad is very healthy and has the most striking green eyes! His life story is very typical. The boy doesn't have brothers and sisters, the mother died. Super boy. Physically developed perfectly well. By the fact very healthy, practically never ill. He is very fond of English, reads children stories without a dictionary, speaks good English. The boy is very communicative, always optimistic. He is very supportive with friends and very polite and obedient with the teachers and caregivers. Dreams about obtaining a family.

***Vlad is also an OLDER CHILD, and will have no opportunities if he ages out. His "orphan and HIV status" will follow him the rest of her life. Please give Vlad a chance to grow up knowing the love of a family and having basic the opportunities that he deserves. ***
