Children - Looking for a Forever Family

Alexander

With his bright blue eyes and whispery golden curls, Alexander is ready to up close and personal.  Currently, Alexander resides in a medical facility with caring staff, but what he needs is a family to ensure not only that his medical needs are met but that he has a full life as part of a family.  Born premature in 2006, he has been diagnosed with hypox-ischemic encephalopathy, tracheotomy, and neurological delays.  Although, his speech is limited, he engages with familiar faces by moving his head and arms.  He enjoys his one-on-one time with the physical therapist on the exercise mat.

Alexander is a Regional Center client and receives physical, occupational and speech therapy.

If you’re in a place to be able to offer Alexander all that he needs and deserves via adoption, please contact the Department of Children and Family Services at (626) 229-3790. We’re ready to hear from you.
