This is 11-month old "Cole". His file needs to be returned to the CCCWA in China on August 18th and we would love your help in advocating for him to find his forever family before then.

"Cole" is a beautiful baby boy who is giggly and loving, and adores being cuddled. He currently lives with a foster mom and family, and has been excelling under her care. He is outgoing and likes outdoor activities and listening to music. He is a very smart little boy!

"Cole" has been diagnosed with Down’s syndrome, and has been doing well and developing. His favorite toys are dolls, and his physical examination’s show normal development in his body. At 9-months, he could locate the direction of sounds, grasp toys, and hold his head up while laying down. He loves to laugh and is able to direct sounds at people or objects.

His file is from one of our orphanage partnerships and is designated as Special Focus so a family at any stage of the adoption process is eligible to review his file.

Current America World families who are interested in adopting Cole into their family should contact their Family Coordinator about him.

Families not currently in the process of adopting with America World should fill out a quick & simple free PRE-APPLICATION and our Intake staff will follow up with you right away.

Any questions about Cole or any Waiting Child can be directed to our China staff at WaitingChildren@awaa.org or 800-429-2269.
