Down syndrome, deep mental handicap, deficiency anemia, hypostatura
From someone who met her:
I called her the crying girl as she was sobbing uncontrollably and just being ignored, she had a pencil which she kept turning over and over as she sobbed, it was heartbreaking. This place too cold and hard for such a child!

Families should be HS approved (or close to it) prior to commitment. 10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.

"I have met her; I lived there twice and used to spend a whole bunch of time with her! I was drawn to her because none of the nannies liked her- they think she's too much trouble. Many of the kids will sit in their strollers all day and not move around, but Della would crawl around. She'd end up in unusual places like the bathtub and they would get upset about that (I never figured out what harm she was causing by hanging out in the dry bathtub), so they'd tie her to her crib so she couldn't go anywhere. I'd go in and find her tied up, crying and chewing on her hands and I made it my goal to make her laugh. She loves to walk (but needs someone to hold her up) so we'd stroll around, or I'd toss her in the air a bit and get her to giggle. She also doesn't get attention because she's not as cute or endearing as some other kids. A few kids are really cute and are good at playing with the nannies or curling up in their laps. Unfortunately, after being neglected all of her life and probably due to some of her handicaps, Della isn't as "cute." She smells like drool and snot from crying and chewing on her hands a lot, and it took a long time for her to trust me enough to actually seek out my attention. For awhile, I'd kind of have to chase after her to play with her since she kept turning and crawling away from me. Eventually though, I'd walk in the room and she'd start laughing and hold out her arms to me. All that to say that I think there is a very sweet girl somewhere in Della, waiting for somebody to love her enough to have that shine through." ~From Someone Who Met Della.
