CARE
Bobby Wants a Family
to Call His Own
Bobby
Bobby is an adorable and sweet little boy who,
despite profound deprivation in his early life, craves
knowledge. He happily spends his free time coloring,
working on puzzles, and reading books. He is quite
healthy and is thriving in his highly structured foster
family. Bobby has been diagnosed with Autism and mental
retardation.
In spite of this, his progress is school has
exceeded expectations. Teachers report that Bobby is at
the highest level in his classes, and continues to do
well. Bobby needs a family that is willing to accept
the uncertainties of his long term prognosis. Bobby has
the ability to learn, but because of his past neglect he
will need intensive remedial services for quite a
while. He will progress and thrive in a family that is
highly structured and predictable.
