Listed July 2013


*HEINRICH AGES OUT IN JANUARY 2025*

"Heinrich"

Meet "Heinrich"! Heinrich is 15 years old and living in Eastern Europe. In addition to Down Syndrome, Heinrich is also diagnosed with autism, a visual impairment, a heart murmur, and hydrocephalus.

Don't let Heinrich's long list of diagnoses scare you away! He is an adorable boy who has waited his entire life for a forever family. Heinrich's profile hasn't been updated in years, and likely won't unless someone makes an inquiry. If this boy is still waiting, he is running out of time! 

As of 2015, Heinrich loved to play on the rocking horse at his orphanage. He loves affection and attention from his caregivers! 

As of 2015, Heinrich could walk and run. As of 2013, Heinrich was very sensitive and had poor emotional regulation. He had many characteristics of a child with autism, and was not yet speaking. Heinrich needs support while eating, and had difficulty chewing solids. 

Heinrich is diagnosed as having a heart murmur. It is unclear if he has ever received treatment for this condition or if he is followed by a cardiologist. An agency can give more info how Heinrich's CHD affects him. 

Heinrich has some developmental delays, particularly in speech and gross motor skills. This is likely a result of his Down Syndrome.

Heinrich does have a dual diagnosis of both Down Syndrome and autism, and his bio states that he "has many characteristics of a child with autism". He is also nonverbal. It is unclear whether Heinrich's autism is institutional or if he was born with it. An agency can give more info.

Heinrich has a $15,000 grant towards his adoption with Reece's Rainbow!

Though "Heinrich"'s information is incredibly outdated, he is a real boy, who needs a real family if he hasn't already found one. Likely, the only way his profile will be updated is if someone takes a chance and makes an inquiry. Please, don't let Heinrich grow up alone. Take a leap of faith. Take a CHANCE on HEINRICH!
