Marcus is a sweet little boy! He is 8 years old and hoping for his own forever family. He was born with spina bifida. He is not able to walk on his own.
From his medical records: myelocele; Q 5, hydrocephaly; flail legs with damage of functions of pelvic organs.
From our facilitation team: " I personally saw this boy and talked to him. He is a very smart boy. Unfortunately he cannot walk at all, and he uses a wheelchair. I am not sure whether he is toilet trained or wears diapers, because he is a big boy who was uncomfortable with careful attention to him, particularly to his disability. He told me that he wants to be adopted., and that's why he allowed to make a picture of him. He did not want to demonstrate his disability, so he covered his legs with a blanket.
Several kids had been adopted from this orphanage before, and the Director is rather open to foreign adoption. She keeps in touch with all the families who adopted the children from her orphanage. She showed me only the kids who demonstrated their wish to be taken to the family. And when I made pictures all of them confirmed their desire to be adopted. I believe the Director will be very glad if this child is taken to the good family."
The boy is very smart, communicative, and friendly. He wants be adopted.
