He expresses irritation through sounds, intonations, and body language. The boy is interested in toys—he especially likes various balls, musical toys, and books. When listening to music, he reacts actively: he waves his hands, moves his body, and expresses joy. After rehabilitation, the boy has become physically stronger; although his physical development is delayed, he is making steady progress. He crawls quickly, creeps, and is beginning to take his first, still tentative steps. During rehabilitation sessions, the boy actively cooperates with specialists and easily establishes contact. With his smile, openness, and charm, he wins the specialists’ favor and attention. The child’s physical development is constantly monitored by specialists, and he receives the necessary services and assistance. The boy eats a varied diet tailored to his age and individual needs, eats frequently, and has a good appetite. Taking the child’s needs into account, he requires a patient, understanding, and consistent family capable of providing a safe and stable environment, ongoing professional support, and fostering his continued physical and emotional development.

In 2023, their biological mother abandoned them, stating she was unable and unwilling to continue caring for the children. They were raised in a poor and neglectful environment and were not enrolled in school prior to entering social care, which explains why some are academically behind their chronological age. Since placement, the children have made significant progress, and their teachers report strong potential for continued development. What they need most is a nurturing family environment where they can feel safe, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Available to Large Families, Available to Single Fathers, Available to Single Mothers

He has lived in a foster family since 6 months of age and requires constant supervision due to young age and behavioral challenges. He was diagnosed with childhood autism in June 2025.

He demonstrates a global developmental delay affecting physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Physical development shows a mild delay: he sits independently, stands up on his own, and walks with hand support. Fine and gross motor skills are slightly delayed; muscle tone is adequate, and there are no musculoskeletal disorders.

Neurologically and behaviorally, Dane shows limited social engagement: he does not respond to his name, does not maintain eye contact, does not follow commands, and does not initiate interaction. Play is non-functional and stereotypical (e.g., spinning objects). He exhibits stereotyped behaviors and requires adult guidance for constructive play.

Expressive speech is absent, with only incomprehensible vocalizations and occasional syllables. Cognitive functioning, memory, and intellect are below age level, and higher mental activity cannot be reliably assessed due to age and developmental limitations.

Emotionally, he is generally calm, responds to positive and negative stimuli with a delayed reaction, and shows attachment through hugging familiar caregivers. He rarely expresses needs verbally and may become distressed when objects are taken away.

Primary Diagnosis: Behavior, Global developmental delays

Listed: Oct 2025

Boy born March 2020 in Eastern Europe

During this time, very positive developmental changes have been observed in every area: objections have been replaced by agreements; negative behavior towards other children by friendship and agreements; distraction during tasks (writing, drawing, chores, etc.) by concentration and interest. In kindergarten, the boy sometimes completes tasks from start to finish without the help of an assistant.

The boy’s speech has also become more coherent and his vocabulary richer. However, speech therapy sessions are still needed and will be needed in the future. It is observed that he does not yet have a sense of self-care and does not feel full when eating.

He is completely restricted from screens (except in the educational institution) while living with the foster family. They have been observed to have a negative impact on the child’s emotional state. Spending even a small amount of time in front of any type of screen makes him very irritable and emotionally unstable. Toys that make loud, noisy noises, flickering lights (guns, robots, etc.) also make him emotionally unbalanced. He is mobile, enjoys sports and has been attending a football club since October 2024. He has severe special educational needs and needs support from a speech therapist, special educator, teacher‘s assistant and psychologist is very curious. He likes to travel, visit and socialize. He is independent and is learning to manage emotions. When calm, he can usually explain the reason for anger. Often keeps agreements. Establishes friendships with peers, has some ability to play common games. His favorite activity is building legos. He is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, which sometimes results in a regression in behaviour and emotions.

She pronounces vowel sounds. She enjoys individual attention, and she gets upset if she is not paid attention to or if she is left alone in the crib after she has been paid attention to. She tries to initiate contact with her eyes and facial expressions, and she responds to her name.

The position of Brianna’s legs doesn’t allow her to sit and she doesn’t straighten her head, but sometimes she rotates her torso laterally to some extent. She reaches and grabs a toy handed to her by an adult or placed in her immediate environment and handles it briefly. She follows moving objects and people with a glance and a turn of the head.

Brianna is described as “absolutely adorable, easy to communicate with, and curious about new people and new toys.” Her caregiving staff says she is a calm and gentle child and is “everyone’s favorite in the house where she lives!” Please help us find Brianna’s family!
