TODAY CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
Robby is a plump little fellow, 16 months old, who looks like a
healthy boy.
In general he is— but Robby has cerebral palsy, which is lack
of muscle control Jle does not walk yet nor sit up alone, though
he is now doing his version of crawling — putting his elbows on
the floor and pulling himself along while beginning to propel
himself with his legs.
Robby is having physiotherapy three times a week and his
foster mother has exercises to do with him daily.
Robby is a very responsive child in a quiet way. He almost
always has a smile and he loves attention and cuddling. He is
used to plenty of both with three older children in his foster
home.
In all areas, Robby is behind the average for his age. It is not
known what his physical capabilities will be but he is more alert
and observant than he used to be.
Since liappy, lovable Robby adjusts readily to new situations,
a move to an adoption home should not be difficult. He needs
parents who will have learned about his condition and who will
help him develop to the limit of his capacities, and love him.
To inquire about adopting Robby, 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.
