Seeing the world and rediscovering it through the eyes of a toddler is one of the many joys of parenting a little one. With Jimmy’s inquisitive personality, he’ll make a great tour guide for all those new adventures and discoveries before ending the day with hugs and a favorite bedtime story.

At just 2 years old, Jimmy has shown determination, resilience, and focus. He has cerebral palsy and successfully uses a walker or takes steps while holding someone’s hands. He currently uses corrective shoes in place of leg braces when he walks, but still prefers crawling to get where he’s going. Jimmy has lumbar lordosis and tightness in his hip joints. 

Jimmy had surgery shortly after his premature birth to treat intraventricular hemorrhage and obstructive hydrocephalus. He uses simple words, can say three-word sentences, and likes to problem-solve without getting frustrated. 

Cuddling is something he enjoys with people who he is familiar with and he warms up to others after cautiously observing—especially if they playfully engage with him. He is active, outgoing, and affectionate and enjoys balls and moving cars. When listening to music, he keeps beat by moving his body to the rhythm.  

Jimmy’s future family should be ready to offer the warm hands to reach out and help him achieve all his goals. They should be his biggest fans to cheer him on and encourage him through his continued development.

To protect a child's privacy, Taiwan has strict rules limiting public photos of children. To see more photos of Jimmy, request to join Gladney's PRIVATE Taiwan Waiting Child Advocacy group on Facebook.
