I hope this e-mail finds you well. I am writing because I am actively looking for a home for 3 year old “Sam”. Sam was adopted from Russia in 2006, at the age of 13 months. Sadly, his placement is not working out and I must find him a new family.
Sam has been diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder and he shows signs of having an autism spectrum disorder, although this is not yet confirmed. Sam can be a very challenging little boy who is sometimes loving, but often prone to tantrums. He would do best in a home with no other children or older children, and a parent or parents who feel called to adopt a special needs child.
If you think you might be the right parents for this little boy, contact me and I will get you in touch with his adoption agency.

Hi,
I'm one of the readers of your blog who doesn't comment usually. But this post breaks my heart.
I wish Sam well, and I hope you find a great home and loving family for him.
Blessings,
Daharja.
Please keep us up to date on the outcome of this. It just breaks my heart :(
We've looked specifically into state adoption to adopt a child on the spectrum. I'd say yes, but we haven't begun to go through the home visits and the qualifications, and I'd know that Sam needs a home much sooner than the months it can take to do so.
Stacy,
I talked to his agency today. He is is in Northern California. Not to far from you.
She said that if the right placement came up, they could expedite things very quickly. She also said that they would work to move past financial barriers as well.
It sounds like they have not tried any biomed with him yet, so there may be a lot that can be done for this little guy for a family that wants to invest a lot of work in him.
email me. I want to give you his social worker's number. It can't hurt for you to call and just hear more about Sam and see if this is the guy that is supposed to be in your family.
This poor little boy; these are the kinds of things that bring tears to my eyes. I will pray for a permanent home for him soon. I might go ahead and repost this on my blog; I don't get a ton of traffic on it yet but I know it gets viewed by parents of SN children from time to time; maybe they would know someone who is interested.
hello,
I got to thinking about Sam this weekend and was wondering if he has found a loving home.
I have worked with children and teens with severe autism for the last 4 years.
And I have thought about adopting a child and god willing if I do get the chance I would so adopt a child with S needs.
I don't make alot of money but I would give him/her a loving home.
Kristal,
Email me privately and I will update you.

If I were old enough, I would love to have Sa. I'm interested in adopting an Autistic child. Some day, hopefully, I will be able to provide one with a loving home.
I am a CPS caseworker trying to find out if there are any adoption agencies that focus on children with Autism? I have a 14 year old boy on the spectrum who wants to be adopted so bad. He has been in care for 10 years and bounced around a lot. I'd love any assistance as I'm getting creative now. Thanks
I want him how do I contact you
