Superkids Team
Superkids is a humanitarian aid initiative within the Asia Waiting Child Program of the Gladney Center for Adoption. Our goal: to improve the lives of children in Chinese orphanages via adoption advocacy, medical and rehabilitation services. Starting as a tiny team providing services to special needs children in a single facility in Shanghai in 2007, we've grown to a broad coalition of physicians, early childhood development specialists, teachers and volunteers who've aided 500 children in orphanages across China.

Jackson has a stable and gentle personality, sleeps soundly at night, likes rice very much, and likes playing on the slide and peek-a-boo. Jackson is able to follow simple instructions from his caregivers and often initiates play with others, although he can be protective of his toys like many 2-year-olds. Jackson will wave 'bye-bye' and likes to imitate his peer's actions like climbing and playing.
