No Heart to Smile :(

Haunted...

Hopeless eyes...

Colin

They'll never want me!

I have CP...

I can use my hands pretty well...

But that's not enough to convince them...

Why would anyone want a boy who can't walk?

But scariest of all are the frightening words...

That I have regressed because of where I live...

You see,

I've been sentenced to a mental institute for life...

Because of my CP....

How could I not regress?

With nothing to do...

With nothing to listen to but moans and groans...

Nothing to see but the bare walls and the sad and hopeless faces of my fellow inmates?

My only hope is that someone will somehow see past the scary words...

To the real little boy inside!

See past the haunted hopeless eyes...

To the sparkle that will appear if I get a Daddy to wrestle and play tag with...

See past my vacant look...

To the joy that will burst out...

If you help me fly a kite...

Or take me to the zoo!

I don't need fancy expensive toys...

A mansion house...

Or designer clothes!

My Papa need not be famous...

My Mama need not win a pageant...

All I need is a Mama and Papa who have the most important and most beautiful thing...

LOVE for even ME!

Simple toys will thrill my heart!

A walk in the woods...

A trip to the playground...

A little toy truck and a sandbox...

Right now I hardly dare hope that these things joys could ever be mine...

So I haven't the heart to smile...

After 9 long years of waiting for a Mama and Papa...

I've nearly given up hope that anyone will EVER choose ME...

But please, oh PLEASE look past my somber face!

I think if I could know at last...

That I'm am truly loved...

That there is for even me...

A Mom and Dad to call my own...

Who'll love me just the way I am...

And give me hope and courage to grow and learn...

A smile would burst upon my face...

I'd grow, and bloom, and make you proud...

And grin from ear to ear!

Please...

Won't you put a smile on my face and hope in my eyes?

Are you MY Mom or Dad?

I'm waiting for you!

And before I go...

I'd like to share a GREAT POST!

Like Carter and Marcus...

(darling and deserving boys who are also waiting for families!)

Colin had only  20 Seconds to share his story...

But not nearly long enough to tell you who he really is...

Please consider Colin!

He has a story to tell you...

A lifetime of joy to bring you...

Is he YOUR son?
