Jianna from Taiwan

UPDATE Nov 2023: Sweet, sweet Jianna! We all enjoyed our time with her so much. She is just precious. She is 9 years old. She has global delays and is tiny for her age, so she seems younger than 9. She had so much fun stringing beads and matching colors. She was so happy with her own success. And if we all celebrated with her she was even happier. It was super sweet! She counts to 10 and speaks in short sentences. Her speech is clear and easy to understand. She tried hard to do all of the things we asked her to do. Her foster mother described her as gentle and affectionate. She likes to imitate and has a good imagination. She enjoys dressing up and singing and dancing. He favorite color is red and her favorite animal is the elephant. Jianna is a darling little girl who needs a family who will accept her fully and help her reach her full potential. Could that be your family? ORIGINAL POST: Gladney Superkids program is hopeful to travel to Taiwan in 2023. Please watch here for updates. If interested in volunteering, email superkids@gladney.org.
