Maddy Needs an Adoptive Family!

Six-year-old Maddy is waiting for a secure and loving adoptive family!

Maddy loves music and dancing. She is described by her caregivers as bubbly, sweet and affectionate! She attends a play school in the mornings and enjoys going and playing with the other children. Her favorite activities include pretend play, like feeding and taking care of her dolls.

Maddy is diagnosed with Down syndrome and developmental delays. She was born with a heart defect and underwent successful surgery in April 2017. As of January 2021, her doctors are happy with her current heart condition and she has a pacemaker. Maddy communicates her needs using words, gestures and basic signs.

The best fit for Maddy is an adoptive family who has access to excellent pediatric medical resources for ongoing cardiac support. She needs specialized educational supports along with occupational and speech therapy. The ideal family for Maddy will understand the impacts of Down syndrome and have plans for providing her with lifelong support.
