VERONICA RAMOS 

MARCH 19,1991.

WHEN VERO CAME TO US SHE WAS QUITE YOUNG AND VERY SMALL. IN ADDITION, SHE WAS ANEMIC, VERY INSECURE, AND UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE. HOWEVER, SHE NOW TALKS ALL THE TIME AND RELATES TO THE LOVE AND COMPASSION OF THOSE AROUND HER. BECAUSE OF HER GREAT NEEDS WHEN SHE ARRIVED, SHE WAS PLACED IN A PRIVATE HOME WHERE SHE WOULD RECEIVE THE ATTENTION SHE NEEDED. HOWEVER, SHE NOW SPENDS A LOT OF TIME AT THE ORPHANAGE. SHE ENJOYS PLAYING WITH HER BROTHER JOSE AND THE OTHER CHILDREN.

VERO’S FATHER IS IN PRISON AND HER MOTHER’S WORK WASN’T COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEEDS OF VERO AND HER BROTHER.

VERO IS ALWAYS SHOWING AN INTEREST IN THE OTHER CHILDRENS FAMILIES. SHE CONTINUALLY ASKS, “IS SHE YOUR MAMA?, IS THAT YOUR BABY?, IS HE YOUR BROTHER?” SHE ALSO SHOWS A GREAT INTEREST IN PLAYING THE TAMBOURINE AND PLAYING WITH HER BABY DOLLS.

VERO IS NOW A HAPPY, TALKATIVE LITTLE GIRL.
