contact with a peroson that fundraises, in the US, for an orphanage in
Vietnam and there is currrently, a baby boy that is in need of a home. He
was diasgnosed at approximately 3 weeks of age. He is now about 6 months
old. If you would like more info, please let me know and thanks!

Might not happen though, but there is that chance. Keep me posted, they are not that easy to locate. ONce the parents take them home, they realize just how special and great they really are!
