Hello world,
This is Teddy.
Teddy has severe Cerebral Palsy and is also severely mentally delayed. Teddy cannot walk, he does not talk, and he rarely smiles. People are always shocked to find out that this tiny, fragile boy is already seven years old. It's obvious when people hold him for the first time that they are nervous, and with good reason. Teddy always seems very uncomfortable when he is held in someones arms.
Why am I telling you all these things? Because I believe Teddy has a family out there who will love him unconditionally.
Now let me tell you about the first day I heard Teddy laugh. I had spent the whole afternoon holding him, just trying to find a comfortable way for him to be held so he could feel the warmth and love of another human being. After trying several different positions, I finally found that he was most comfortable lying with his head resting on my chest. One of the other volunteers who was in the house happened to be holding one of the babies. She began to make the baby giggle, and his giggle was so infectious that even Teddy began to laugh. It was the most genuine and innocent laugh I had ever heard in my life.

That day made me realize how much potential Teddy has for happiness if he could just be surrounded by people who loved and cared for him. Teddy needs a family, a family who will love him unconditionally for the rest of his life.
