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!

Nevermind.
The child's problem is resolved, so we don't have to consider the possibility.

Bummer. ;)

The baby is being adopted. God has answered our prayers. I may have not have done this right but hopefully this will lead you to the other thread concerning this matter. If not, sorry, but do know that the baby is being adopted.

God Bless

I believe I read on a thread last night that the baby has found a home. The person who posted said that s/he spoke to the guy who runs this program and he confirmed it.

Thank you for the Ping! And thank you to everyone who prayed for this little baby! I am so glad that the baby's mother was a strong enough person to drop this baby off at a safe haven. I am going to pray for her, too, and would encourage others to do the same.

LOL!
You should probably hit your knees in thanks that you avoided falling under my influence.
None of my ex's wanted to be my ex's.

So that means you're a catch. Why would I thank God for losing a catch? hehehe

Thanks for posting that link, Kyle is an amazing young man, I wish I had his drive, and motovation. I also no longer look at this baby as hopeless.

I resent those remarks. Judge Greer and Michael Schiavo are the exception--not the rule. I would like to draw your attention Julianna- born without a face to a military family- embraced by her community, here in Florida.

I was being Sarcastic!!! I believe all life is precious and even those of that don't appear to be by idiots like Greer and Felos! Everyone has purpose, God designed us that way!

My pleasure. My personal complaints are always put into a different perspective whenever I click on that link. He is truly incredible. What an awesome family for all they chose to do for him. Their love has paid off!
