Meet AJ! He needs an adoptive family! Could you or someone you know be the right fit for this 2-year-old waiting child?

AJ is an affectionate and sweet boy. He responds warmly when trusted caregivers show him attention and is learning how to express himself. Like many children his age, he communicates his needs — hunger, discomfort, tiredness, etc. — through crying.

AJ adjusted well when he moved into a new care center in 2022 and he now lives in the nursery area with seven other children his age. He is developmentally delayed in various areas compared to peers — most notably, with his motor development. He is currently receiving various therapies to support his healthy development.

An ideal adoptive family will have good access to occupational, physical and speech therapy services, as well as Spanish-speaking services to help AJ reach his full potential. With love and encouragement, AJ will thrive in an adoptive family!

If you think you or someone you know could be the right family for AJ, please email our waiting child team at [email protected]! We cannot share photos of AJ publicly due to country restrictions on privacy and adoption. However, the waiting child team has more photos and videos available to share with prospective families interested in adoption.
