It was so fitting that he was dressed in yellow, as he truly came into the room like a ray of sunshine.  The innocent joy coming off of this child was palpable.  He truly defines the term, ˜to smile with your whole body,’ as you could sense his happy energy even from behind.  To think of this ray of sunshine abandoned at the age of two at a tea house is almost just too much to bear.  I could bombard you with words like happy, sweet, joyful, innocent, and silly, but I will let his videos speak for themselves.

There are many unknowns with Sampson’s special needs.  Sampson is diagnosed with CP.  He is enrolled in a therapeutic program where he has made exceptional progress in the past few months.  He needs a family willing to accept him for who he is now, and to take it one day at a time.  Despite the unknowns, I AM certain of one truth Sampson’s family will be blessed beyond measure, and so incredibly lucky to be able to wake up to this smiling ray of sunshine every day.  Take a chance on Sampson.  See all that he is, and not what he is not.  He IS a boy filled with such an amazing zest for life.  He is NOT just a boy with Cerebral Palsy.


Sampson is available for adoption through Madison Adoption Associates.  There is a $2,000 grant available to the family who adopts him.  Email Sarah@madisonadoption.org for more information.
