We are excited to introduce Jessica! As of May 2023, Jessica is 14 months old.
Jessica is a snuggly baby that likes to be cuddled and hugged by her caregivers. When tired or upset she is able to relax when she hears music or soothing sounds. Although Jessica is not able to say words yet, she is able to vocalize through babbling.
Jessica needs parents who are comfortable with the many unknowns that are presented by her significant special needs. Jessica has epilepsy, hydrocephalus, global developmental delays, and vision concerns.
If you think you could be the right family for Jessica, please contact us at Superkids@gladney.org to review her profile.

We are excited to introduce Nash! Nash was born in 2017 and turning 6 years old in May.
Nash's favorite activities include listening to stories, running around outdoors, and playing with toy cars! He is described as energetic and not timid when meeting someone for the first time. Nash is a kindergartner in elementary school, and his teacher stated math is his best subject.
Nash has global developmental delays and ADHD. He attends weekly speech and occupational therapy sessions. At home, Nash's foster mother works with him to practice zipping and unzipping his jacket, tying his shoe laces and maneuvering the buttons on his cloths. In a recent video, Nash was able to complete a string board activity, and he is seen smiling with excitement at his accomplishment!
Nash has a good relationship with his foster mother and talks freely with her to express his needs and feelings. He gets along well with his older foster brother and enjoys spending time together.
If you think you could be the right family for Nash, please contact us at Superkids@gladney.org to review his profile.
