This adorable toddler with the big grin is Shane. He was born May of 2015 and has been in the care of Heartsent’s partnership orphanage since December 2016.

Shane’s intake exam, done when he was 7 months old, indicated that Shane showed delayed motor development (he was unable to sit or roll over). He received an initial diagnosis of CP and cryptorchidism. Shane’s records show that he has not received treatment for his undescended testes. However, video taken last month, shows Shane to be making slow, steady progress: he’s currently walking (even trying to climb over the play area boundary), responding to his name and is reported to be playful (especially with his favorite nanny), learning to follow simple instructions and clearly distinguishes familiar faces from those of strangers.

Shane needs a family to help him meet his potential. Shane is listed with Heartsent, please contact them for more information on completing his adoption.
