FW: ph needs a family

[Guest guest]

Please forward ….

I am the foster and adoptive home recruiter for the Louisiana Department of

Social Services and currently working with ph who has autism. ph was

removed from his family because of abuse/neglect and is currently freed for

adoption and is in need of a patient, committed loving family to support him. I

am searching for resources for him, specifically a family that is interested in

adopting ph and becoming his forever family. Attached is a flyer about

ph, which describes him briefly and provides information on who to contact.

In reading the mission statement on your website, “advocating on behalf of

those cannot fight for their own rights†and " encourage those in the autism

community to never give up in their search to help their loved ones reach their

full potential " , I knew I needed to forward information to you about ph. I

was hoping that you could forward information about ph to your association

in the hope that someone would be interested in providing ph a permanent

family.

For more information about adoption in Louisiana, you can visit our website at

www.dss.state.la.us <http://www.dss.state.la.us/> . If you have any questions,

please do not hesitate to contact me or ph's adoption worker, Robson.

Sincerely,

Jay Neu

ph or “JB†which he likes to be called is a sweet and very affectionate

eight-year-old child. While JB is active and likes to be outdoors, he also

loves to watch cartoons on TV, especially Spiderman. Having autism has only

amplified JB’s desire and need to have a family of his own. Currently JB is

in 3rd grade special education classes and needs a patient, committed, loving

family to support JB in his future. Even though JB’s verbal skills are very

poor, he will let you know when he wants his favorite foods like bananas or

chocolate ice cream.

For more information on JB, please contact Amada Robson, the Adoption Specialist

at the Lafayette Regional Office of the Louisiana Department of Social Services.
