Disabled newborn in need of adoption

Nick Silverio of Safe Haven for Newborns in Florida has asked that we spread the word of a disabled newborn in need of adoption.

The child, born today, has no arms, only one leg, and is missing a good portion of his jaw - but his prognosis is good.  The baby was abandoned by his mother under the Florida Safe Haven law and, unless potential adoptive parents can be found quickly, the child will become a ward of the state (and, it is feared, the target of euthanasia).  The Florida Department of Children and Families will not become involved unless information is obtained that may suggest some type of abuse or neglect (which is not evident at this time).  Catholic Charities in Florida is not currently able to assist with adoption services.

Please forward this information on to any agency, organization, or individual that may be able to assist in locating interested potential adoptive parents.

Nick's cell phone number is 786-246-1304 and the his website is www.asafehavenfornewborns.com 

It has been my experience in the very recent past that adoptive parents for disabled infants have been found through the efforts of pro-life people who simply made the need known via e-mail. 

Please pray for this baby and his biological mother, as well.

Thanks!

Thanks for that!!!

I hope that is true! I really believe that when word is out and it's not aleways about going through redtape that many people are more than willing to adopt. Good thing I got this far before fwding the info. to my email lists.

[STARWISE]

WOW! Praise God ... I've just been emailing diocese in FL. Are we certain that all is safe with this precious babe?

[PatriotGirl827]

All I know is that poster "4Godsoloved..Hegave" called Nick Silverio yesterday and he told her (or him) that the baby is being adopted. I am wondering, hoping, and praying, that it all goes through, too.

Exactly! The soul inside is entirely whole, and it is NOT deformed!

When talking to Nick, he was overwhelmed with the responses and assured me this baby was going to be adopted soon.

Everytime we have had an all out alert for a precious one needing a family it has been an overwhelming response. Don't let anyone tell you there is no one who wants these precious babies. I praise God for giving many folks a heart for these precious children. Truly, the soon to be parents are in for more blessings than they ever imagined.
