UPDATE: We received a lengthy update for Raina dated February of 2021. Because it is so long, please request the update by contacting kathy@wiaa.org. She is a wonderful girl but her hopes for adoption are diminishing.

***Update***

Our attorney recently said that she hopes we will be able to find a family for Raina as fast as possible as she is placed in a Center for children with some very severe mental and physical disabilities and she is actually absolutely healthy mentally. She has Spina bifida but she does not have any physical hindrance to walk or run or do any other physical actions. The staff is therefore using her to help them and also watch the children. She loves the children but we do not believe that the place of a healthy child is there.”
