A family hoping to adopt Simon should be ready to start their homestudy soon or be in process. Paperwork will need to be filed with the USCIS (Immigration) prior to his 16th birthday.
Spinal muscular atrophy, mixed specific developmental disorders (mental delays, very poor speech)
Simon needs a family IMMEDIATELY — he has until October 2013 to be adopted, otherwise he will lose his chance for a family.
From someone who met him in 2012: Simon was so bright, he is amazing! he has great potential and has expressed his desire for a family. He loves gadgets and computers is a typical boy like that! He managed to get into my camera bag (even though it was high on a cupboard) and took my mobile phone apart! He was truly mortified when he couldn’t get it back together and was so sorry…he came straight to me very shamefaced and repentant.
He cannot walk at all; he does not feel his legs and they are very wasted, but he gets around brilliantly in his wheel chair. He talks and is picking up English and draws and writes. He is in the first happy home there with 8 others and so is getting amazing care for his situation.
