Home My WebLink AboutThe Brussels Post, 1973-01-17, Page 8BY HELEN ALLEN LIKES COUNTRY LIFE Before Freddy's picture arrived his social worker reported that this toddler has a most appealing smile. As you see, she didn't exaggerate. Anglo-Saxon in'descent, he has very dark eyes, brown hair and fair skin. Freddy is nearly two but he is so small he looks much younger. Though he was a full-term baby he weighed only four-and-a-half pounds when he was born and it seems that he will continue to be a little fellow. Freddy has Pierre-Robin Syndrome, which usually means the person affected has a small mouth, cleft palate and receding chin. There is no outward sign of his problem , and this palate is now diagnosed as "soft" rather than "cleft". He will not need corrective surgery but may later require speech surgery and orthodontic work. Freddy has progressed from requiring all food put through a blender to being able to eat a fairly normal diet as long as foods are mashed with a kirk. He has a 'good appetite and he sleeps soundly. Freddy walks well and talks a good deal. His vocabulary is limited, as you would expect, but he tries to repeat everything said to him. This happy, friendly .boy beams on everybody paying any attention to him. He is affectionate, energetic and very determined.. The Syndrothe in Freddy's medical history ocasionally means a child is retarded. This laddie is not, but he will likely be a slow learner. Lovable Freddy needs a family who will welcome a lively affectionate small boy and who will be committed to helping him later with speech therapy. To inquire about adopting Freddy, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2112. For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society.
