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 was found abandoned in 2022 with no identifying information, so he was assigned an estimated age and date of birth based on medical and psychological exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richie\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given his tough start in life it is understandable that Richie struggles with frustration tolerance and needs consistency and support in place to help him learn coping strategies when he is frightened or upset. He has recently started soccer lessons and the foster family shares that this is having a positive impact on his social skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richie is learning what it means to live in a family (he was previously in a children\u2019s 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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
