Meet Deklan!
“Deklan was born in China and, due to his deformity, was abandoned at two weeks old. Deklan lived in an orphanage until he was adopted at 4 /12. He has been a part of our family for almost two years. In this time he has made leaps and bounds (from fully becoming potty trained to learning how to sign and hear (with the help of a hearing aid) to finding comfort and rest in the love and provision of a family (not an easy task when raised in an atmosphere of survival). Deklan has had three surgeries since being home, but he has been brave through each one. He was recently diagnosed with a PDA (hole in his heart), but he is strong and resilient. Deklan loves to ride his scooter, play with his siblings and friends, swim, eat popcorn at the movies and take the dog for a walk. Deklan is a bundle of joy and laughter. He can easily get the giggles and finds comedy in almost everything. He is a champion when it comes to therapy and practice at home. There is a long road ahead of him, but he works hard at learning how to pronounce words- we are very proud of him. Deklan is definitely a warrior- he has survived so much in his few years and is thriving. We love him dearly and are so thankful to be his mommy and daddy.”
