HI! My name is Christopher.
“I love story books.”

Let me tell you more about myself…
I dance with my hands when I’m happy.

And here’s what others say…
Christopher is a five year old Caucasian boy who loves to receive attention and praise from the adults in his life. He interacts with others through his eye contact and great smiles. Having books read aloud to him is certainly one of Christopher’s favorite pastimes, and he enjoys flipping the page or using a switch to advance stories on the computer in his classroom. Christopher also likes to spend time looking in the mirror at himself. Because of significant medical needs, he relies on his caregivers for mobility. Christopher uses a g-tube to feed and a ventilator to breath. Since birth, he has lived at a medical facility where he also attends school. Christopher receives music, occupational, speech and language and physical therapies at his day school where he also participates in adaptive physical education. He is developmentally at a six month to a one year old level. Though non-verbal, Christopher lets those around him know how he is feeling by shaking his head or crying when unhappy and smiling or dancing with his hands when happy. Christopher has never had the opportunity to live with a family. Legally free for adoption, he certainly would do well in a home filled with love and support. An ideal family would be comfortable meeting Christopher’s extensive medical needs. Christropher would do well with or without other children at home.

If I could have my own special wish…
I would have a family who will let me see my grandmas.
