Sweet Timothy is a true orphan. He was found abandoned, and they have no information about his birth family or any other relatives. His DOB was estimated by the medical officials at the orphanage. Someone out there can give Timothy the family and history he so richly deserves! He has such a wonderful, glowing smile!

Present Carer: Timothy has been under the care of his present foster family since July 7, 2009. He adjusts well in his foster family is well related to his foster parents, two adult brothers and another foster child.

Present Development: Timothy is a 3-year and 7-month-old boy with Down Syndrome, moderate astigmatism and beta thalessemia trait. Since April 2010, he has been receiving training at a center Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and he is noted to have obvious improvements in his motor and social skills. Being able to sit well, Timothy can also walk independently. He is now learning to walk upstairs. His speech is also developing. He can say some simple words such as “aunt”, “bread”, “uncle’ etc. He understands most of what is said to him. However, he needs to be motivated to talk. Not being a picky eater, Timothy eats whatever his foster mother has prepared for him. He can feed himself with a spoon yet the foster mother will assist at times. Falling asleep easily, he can also sleep soundly.

Timothy is a sociable boy who gets on well with others and likes meeting new people. He can smile, wave goodbye, clap his hands and blow a kiss to others. Being moody at times, Timothy will grumble when he cannot get what he wants. Timothy is still on diaper and he is learning to urinate into the potty at the training center. Though he is not very motivated in learning new things or activities, he likes singing and watching TV.
