May 2008

Patrick has been doing great for the past few months! He loves school where is has lots of opportunities to be fully-included with typical students. He is making amazing progress in his communication and academics. Patrick is using lots of words both orally and in sign language. He is much better able to express his wants lately. He can clearly let us know where he wants to go. McDonalds, Chuck-E-Cheese, Disneyland, and Legoland are his absolute favorites. Patrick also likes to be independent. He is now able to wait in a short line for a ride at Legoland without someone standing right at his side. This summer Patrick will be participating in MYART children's theater production of "Oliver!" He is the most excited about getting to wear a costume on stage! We are excited to see how Patrick does with this type of large group activity. Patrick has proven to be quite the entertainer at home!

February 2008

Patrick joined our family in mid-December 2007. This the first family he and his twin brother, Parker, have ever lived with in their eleven years. Both boys spent most of their life in a sub-acute nursing facility for infants all the way to senior citizens. Patrick did spend about a year living in a local group home before joining our family. We are delighted to parent Patrick. He has such a big personality and is a very bright little boy despite his early deprivation. Patrick has a number of medical and developmental issues that has slowed his physical and cognitive growth. Despite these issues Patrick is a silly and fun-loving boy who loves school buses, Chuck-E-Cheese and Disneyland. Patrick is learning how to communicate verbally and through American Sign Language. He loves being in the community and as he is able to explore his world, every day is a new adventure for Patrick. We are absolutely certain that we will all see some tremendous growth in all areas for Patrick. We hope to finalize the boy's adoption within the year.
