Serena

Serena was born on August 1, 2000 and abandoned in her village on August 30, 2000. She was taken to the local orphanage when her parents weren’t located and placed in a foster home shortly after her arrival. When she was one year old, the orphanage staff noticed something was wrong with her eyes. She received a surgery on her left eye in November 2004, and her eyesight improved some. She was diagnosed with amblyopia in both eyes and anorthopia in her left eye. Both eyeballs shake and can’t focus well. Because of her poor eyesight, she was only able to attend the local kindergarten. She had no opportunity to attend primary school, so she hasn’t received an education yet. She loves to talk, and she likes singing songs and drawing. She’s very helpful to her foster mom, and she also enjoys helping care for younger children. We know she’ll be a joy in our Forever Home and we look forward to seeing her grow and blossom.
