Marcus, a cheerful and curious child, is living in a foster home in Colombia. He attends a pre-Kindergarten program and enjoys playing with balls and participating in structured activities with his peers. He shows particular interest in painting and creative play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus struggles to overcome his developmental delays, especially with his speech, for which he is receiving therapy and making progress. Additionally, Marcus is diagnosed with Microcephaly and Expressive Language Delay. While independent in his mobility, he does struggle to communicate. Marcus may also be at risk for a genetic disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children like Marcus, who are considered \u2018waiting children\u2019, generally have multi-faceted characteristics and needs which exceed the common characteristics and needs of children otherwise placed in one of our international programs. We are looking for the right family for waiting children because of their unique needs and vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about Marcus and his specific needs can be received after speaking with a member of our team<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about\u200b Marcus, contact our Adoption Team at\u00a0212-400-8150<\/a>\u00a0o env\u00edanos un correo electr\u00f3nico a\u00a0info@spencestaging.berrycreativellc.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you receive and accept the referral of Marcus through Spence-Chapin, you will benefit from the generosity of our new Briden Adoption Fund, which can offset the costs of adopting an international Waiting Child. The Briden Adoption Fund is made possible by the generosity of a Spence-Chapin family.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
