Hannah is an absolutely adorable, sweetheart girl. She is serious at first, but has such a very sweet smile and is a lovely girl once you get to know her. She makes great eye contact. She loves being in the company of others. Understandably, it takes her a little while to warm up to new people. She is developing well. She is in a decent baby house with caring nannies. She is in a small group with a good caregiver to child ratio. The children have access to outdoor time, a sensory room and physical therapy. Unrelated children can be adopted simultaneously.

The Reece's Rainbow HIV Family Coordinator & Support Liaison explains the medical aspects of living with a child with HIV.
HIV is a virus that claims many innocent lives when children do not have access to antiretroviral medications. Fortunately, it is treatable and the children who have access to meds and adhere to their treatment have good long-term prognosis.
Children born to women with the virus have a chance of becoming HIV positive due to mother-to-child-transmission. These children are innocent carriers of the virus.The children you see below are currently living in institutions. Sadly, if they end up aging out of institutional life, there is a high likelihood they will be ill on the streets in a life of crime.
New laws in the US and Canada allow for these children to be adopted. Being in a loving family helps them access medical care and gives them the opportunity to have a normal, healthy, productive life. They can go to college, get married, give birth to healthy babies and live long enough to meet their grandchildren.
