JOEY, AGE 10, COLOMBIA

Waiting Children Featured Joey

We are looking for a loving adoptive family for a loving boy named Joey. Our team has had the pleasure of getting to know Joey over the past several years on our visits to Colombia and are always impressed with his sense of humor and outgoing nature.

Joey resides in a Children’s Home (institution) in Colombia where he is close with many of his caregivers.

Joey has faced many hardships in his young life, including severe physical abuse which caused him to lose his eyesight. This has also created situations where Joey has low frustration tolerance and understandably has difficulty trusting and relating to others. His caregivers describe him as intelligent, funny, affectionate and artistic. He enjoys singing and often performs with a microphone in front of large groups. Joey likes to play soccer and build things with Legos and make art projects. He yearns for a loving family to call his own.

When our team most recently met with Joey last Fall, he was proud to show off not only his Spanish language skills, but also the Portuguese he has been learning. Joey has a love of languages and is excited to improve his English.

If you or someone you know might be the right fit family for Joey, please contact our adoption team at 212-400-8150 or email us at [email protected]

If you receive and accept the referral of Joey through Spence-Chapin, you will benefit from the generosity of our new BriDen Adoption Fund, which can offset the costs of adopting an international Waiting Child. The BriDen Adoption Fund is made possible by the generosity of a Spence-Chapin family.
