“he longs for a forever family”

“Joshua has been in ICC’s care since he was 5 years old, and he longs for a forever family. He has seen several of his friends adopted, and desires to have the same.  He has been asking about a family.  We pray that the Lord will bring Joshua a forever family.” – ICC

DEVELOPMENT AND NEEDS
“In ICC’s care, Joshua has grown in confidence and ability.  He is a member of the Conductive Education group where he receives education and therapy to help him develop his abilities.  Joshua has good communication skills, and expresses his opinions and wishes with his teachers, carers, therapists and friends.  He enjoys learning, and is an active member of his education and therapy classes.  He would benefit from speech and language therapy to help understand the cause of his “hoarse” voice.”

“Joshua uses a wheelchair, and can move himself independently from chair to bed or bathroom without help.  He manages to get himself around in the wheelchair including a daily 30 minute trip to school!  He is able to pull himself up to stand at a table, and can sit unsupported on a stool.  He does have some high muscle tone which affects his legs and arms.  His hands are affected by the CP, but he is able to feed himself, brush his own teeth and do puzzles.  He can also dress himself independently.”

EDUCATION
“Joshua has lots of learning potential, and really enjoys going to daily classes.  He is able to concentrate during class, ask questions and respond appropriately.  His education is behind due to his delayed opportunity to receive education. Joshua recognizes colors, animals and 40 Chinese characters. He can count and recognize numbers, and do simple math.” – ICC

Joshua is currently on the shared list.  Please send me an e-mail if you are interested in adopting him. I am not affiliated with an agency. I will just be able to help you get his info so you can contact your agency about him. – Jessica
