Bulletin #12773
Four year old Marvin is a sweet and loving little boy, who will capture your heart with his smile and spirit. He has spent most of his life in medical foster care, where he had successfully recovered from open heart surgery and other serious health issues. Though he recently moved to another foster home, Marvin is not yet out of the woods, medically, and will continue to need on-going care from his treatment team, but, his upbeat, happy demeanor demonstrates this little boy’s resiliency.
Due to physically injuries to his head, prior to entering foster care, Marvin is developmentally delayed, but since his move, he began to walk and now runs up to his foster Mom for a hug. He speaks a few words and is learning sign language, but his love of play is clearly communicated with laughter. He is captivated by toys that make noise, and he particularly loves playing catch with his foster Mom, who says Marvin is just beginning to blossom.
Marvin needs a loving and committed family, who can put his needs above their own. He needs a family with some knowledge of medically fragile children, who are willing to work with Marvin’s treatment team to help him thrive. With a family, who can focus on his strengths and appreciate his capacity to love, Marvin will be a joy to raise.
