At Risk of Aging Out

At Risk of Aging Out

Hello all, I have been several weeks without posting nothing, and things changed during all these time. Some children previous listed here sadly have been moved to the "aged out" category, while some more have been listed into the "at risk of aging out" one...

I will post below some of the profiles of children who are listed in "At Risk of Aging Out" and need urgently a family to adopt them. Many of them have an Older Child Grant, an assured amount of money available for these children to help the future family with their adoption.

Please take time to see carefully the profiles I'll post below with the direct links to their RR page.

Down Syndrome. Ryan has made significant progress since leaving the institution and be placed into a group home. The staff believes that as they continue to work with him, he will continue to improve.  Due to his behavorial difficulties, the agency team sent a certified psychologist to spend time with Ryan and assess him in his new home. He feels like a leader and likes helping the other children. His gross motor skills are well develped, he shows some stereotypical movements. He enjoys dancing and prefers to participate in activities and play that involve a ball and interacting with children who are more physical.

He will need a family willing to provide a lot of structure, routine and constancy in behavior management.

I hope all these children find families as soon as possible, you can help find them too by donating to their RR accounts, or simply by sharing their profiles.

It is a very easy thing to do by yourself, and a very important way to help these children.

I hope you have a great day, greetings :)
