Richie is an active and curious little boy who is currently living in a foster home in Colombia. He enjoys playing with peers and is described by his foster mother as a generous, caring and loving child.
Richie’s gross and fine motor development are described as on target for his age and although he speaks fluently, he does struggle with pronouncing some sounds and will benefit from speech therapy. Educationally Richie benefits from additional supports as he has not experienced consistent schooling in his life.
Richie is learning what it means to live in a family (he was previously in an children’s home/orphanage setting) and he understands the temporary nature of foster care and expresses a desire to have a family of his very own. Could you be that family?
More information about Richie and his specific needs can be received after speaking with a member of our team 212-400-8150 or email us at [email protected]
If you receive and accept the referral of Richie 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.
