Matthew is dreaming of finding his forever family and flashed a big smile as he shared with our team that he would love parents who \u201ctake me on vacation to swim and who like to sleep in on weekends.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Matthew hopes to find a family where he would have older siblings who would play video games with him, and he\u2019s already picked out names for his future dog and cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew is diagnosed with developmental delays as well as vision and other issues as a result of the abuse he was subject to. He is doing well with supportive therapies and continues to make progress every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children like Matthew, who are considered \u2018waiting children\u2019 generally have multi-faceted characteristics and needs which exceed the common characteristics and needs of children otherwise placed in one of our international programs. We are looking for the right family for waiting children because of their unique needs and vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about Matthew and his specific needs can be received after speaking with a member of our team at 212-400-8150<\/a> or email us at info@spence-chapin.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you receive and accept the referral of Matthew 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
