...as your new daughter! She's so cute and happy and would thrive in a loving family environment!
Natalia
Girl, Born March 5, 2002
This beautiful little girl is waiting for her family to give her the chance to really blossom. Natalia was born with a complete AV canal, but she has had surgery and is totally healthy now. She is not taking any medications for her heart. She is a darling girl, but nonverbal. She is quite low functioning at this time. She is able to sit and crawl, she can stand with support, can climb in and out of her bed & cruise around the furniture in her room, but she is not walking independently at this time. She is not eating by herself either, but she certainly has the ability to learn to do all of these things in a family environment!
From a staff member that visited Natalia in April 2010: Natalia is a very happy little girl who clearly loves attention. She would take our hands and blow on them to make raspberry noises and then just laugh and laugh. She did this over and over and would go from person to person reaching and taking our hands and blowing raspberries. She climbed in our laps and gave hugs. She responded very well to the attention that we were giving her and despite the years she has spent in her current environment, she still has a sparkle in her eye.
Additional photos of Natalia are available.
