​Shawn (Boy) One Year Old
 
This is Shawn.  He is a shy and gentle little boy.  Not knowing she was pregnant, Shawn's birth mother used amphetamines and heroin during the pregnancy.  He had withdrawal symptoms after birth.  Observation shows that his mental and physical development is slower than his peers.  Shawn's foster mother finds that it is easy to take care of him. He can be easily comforted.  He is compliant. Shawn only gets emotional when he is sleepy.  He cries or uses simple physical movements to express his needs. He doesn't make a lot of sounds. Shawn is slow to warm up to unfamiliar things.  With time, he relaxes and will begin to smile.  He's most comfortable interacting with familiar people. Let us know if you have a connection with Shawn and are able to provide this gentle boy a loving home and stable environment.
