Jordan, 18 months
February 17 through March 3, 1998
K '1'-' '«¡
“ Simply adorable!” is a common description o f Jordan, a dark
eyed, quick-to-smile baby in need of an adoptive family. Jordan is
one o f several hundred Oregon children who are right now waiting
to become someone’s son or daughter.
Because he was severely affected pre-natally by crack cocaine,
Jordan has some needs that require special attention. He receives
physical and occupational therapy to help improve his motor skills
and decrease stiffness. Jordan has a weak immune system, and care
must be taken to limit his exposure to illnesses. Another result ot
his prenatal drug exposure is his hypersensitivity. Jordan cries and
whimpers quite a lot and he is behind other children in his social
skills. He is just now starting to learn how to play and interact.
Jordan’s new family must be able to accommodate in-home
therapies and follow-up on many medical appointments. He needs
a family who will take time to bond with him, ease him slowly into
their home, and provide him the attention he craves.
