Pregnancy Info HOME

My son is a special needs boy. Whilst the doctors here have diagnosed him as Cerebral Palsy, they are sometimes uncertain. He is coming to 4 years old and now slowly but surely learning how to walk. He is also learning how to use his hands. He is not able to talk yet but he is beginning to coo and beginning to request for things in his own way. His cognition level is probably at a 9 month old. We only knew of his condition at 11 months old and since then I have put him on therapies vigorously. He goes for Physiotherapy 5x a week, Occupational Therapy 2x a week and Speech Therapy 2x a week. Back then, he could not even crawl, hold his own bottle or even make any sounds. He has come a long way from that time but he still has a long way to go. I have been with him every step of the way and I feel that I am not able to go on any longer coz at every step of the way I am being blocked by the lack of facilities/support over here. I know that he will do so well with someone who is willing to work with him. I am looking for the following in his adoptive family; 1. Church-going couple in their 30\'s who have been married for at least 5 years( marriage cert required). 2. Has older children who are willing to love and care the my special needs child. My son hopefully will eventually be able to stay in a special needs home for adults where he will be able to care for himself but in the event that it does not happen, he will need his siblings to help him. Please note that there are no such fanilities in my country. Special needs adults are put in an asylum or chained up which is what is do not want to happen to my son. 3.A stay at home parent. This is important coz he will need constant therapy.This parent will homeschool him and spend all the time in therapy for him. A good source of therapy is the Glenn Doman/NACD Method. 4. Financially stable. Having a special needs child, one has to be financially stable in order to go for these therapies. I am not asking for Bill Gates but someone who has enough to send my son for therapies and yet have enough for the rest of the family. I do not want the family who takes my son to eventually run out of money . resent my son and eventually abandon him. 5.Has good family/friends support system. There will be times when u will need their help to babysit him and it has to be someone that you trust will not hurt him. I had a helper who was taking care of my son and there are times when I find bruises on him which she is not able to explain. It brings me down so much when I know that he has been hurt but there is no way I am able to proof that she did it. 6. Open adoption- My family and I would like to see his progress which I know he will under the correct love and guidance. We\'d like to visit him once a year at least. It will be far and expensive but we\'d save every penny to go visit him and we\'d like to be allowed those visits. I\'d like pictures, videos and communication of every kind regarding my son. 7. Blog- The adoptive parent will have to keep a blog of my son\'s progress. I come from a very close-knit family and for me to give my son up like this is NOT a normal thing. My family loves my son but with only love, he is not going to go far. I am willing to send him to Mars if this means that there is someone there is much more capable than me to take care of my son.With this blog, my family is able to see his progress too. 8. Love- This family must be filled with abundant love and must love my son like their own. So there......I am looking for the best parents in the whole world for my son. Someone who will make him be everything that he will be.I am looking for the next Lyn Waldeck-.Please google her. She adopted a son who was brain-injured and worked with him till he got well. His name is Evan Waldeck from NACD. If you are that someone or know of someone who are willing to take that chance with my son, please let me know. I will not just give him up to anyone, I will definitely do a background check on the parents. Please leave your email address and I will contact you. Please also note that we live in Asia and u r more than welcome to visit us or my son once U r ready to take that step. I am ok with same s_x couples if they can proof that you are capable to caring for my son and work with him to bring out the best in him. Thanks!
