Children - Looking for a Forever Family

 Tylon

Tylon is a sweet boy born in 1995, who is in need of a permanent home. Tylon was a victim of a near drowning accident, which has left him severely developmentally, delayed and non-ambulatory. It is important for his development to have a family that he can depend on for love, support, and most importantly advocacy for his needs.

Tylon’s health is stable and he responds to stimulus. He is visually able to track anyone who interacts with him and can move his eyes toward sounds and visual cues. Tylon tries hard to express himself through facial expressions, and relishes the attention from others. Tylon is diagnosed with chronic lung disease and cerebral palsy. He is a Regional Center client and receives physical and speech therapy on a weekly basis.

If you are interested in adopting Tylon, please contact the Department of Children and Family services at (626) 229-3790.
