October 2005

Daniel is six years old little boy and will be joining our family in late October. Daniel has spent most of his life in foster care waiting to be matched with an adoptive family. Daniel has significant disabilities including hearing and visional impairments. We asked about Daniel over a year ago and we finally matched with him this month! We are excited to make Daniel a "forever" member of our family.

Here is how Daniel was described on the CAkidsconnection.com website:

"Daniel is a happy and bubbly little boy who loves to cuddle. He is smiley and cheerful. Daniel has moderate to severe developmental delays and medical issues but he is improving every day and is the highest-functioning child in his current placement. Although it was originally projected that he would never walk, he has recently begun to walk and is making excellent progress in other areas as well. Daniel needs a loving, dedicated family that can meet his special needs. However, Daniel would do best in a family with other children who are not medically fragile, so that he can see where his tremendous progress is taking him. This would have a very positive influence on his health. His social worker suggests that Daniel not be placed in a family with other children who have severe medical needs. Daniel is an adorable little boy with a lot of love to give and a lot of progress to still be made. He needs the right family to see him to his full potential and give him lots of support and hugs!"

We are anxious to see how Daniel will do with a household of loving and active brothers. We are hopeful that Daniel will continue to make growth socially and physically.
