His mom is dead. His dad abandoned him at a hospital 4-5 months ago. The people at Gift of God Orphanage found him in his bed about a month ago, not certain of whether or not he had been held or even touched over the course of his life. They think he has cerebral palsy, but he hasn't been officially evaluated. He is receiving therapy, especially for his wrist. He is responding well.
We found him in his crib, and proceeded to pass him around though out the morning. He's about as big as Emilie and Elina. Right now he's the youngest resident at Gift of God - the hope is that if all works out from a legal standpoint he will be the first official resident at the new home they're currently building and be available for adoption someday. We'll do our best to love him well, touch him as much as possible, and pray God's grace in his life.
