If a picture is worth one thousand words...

What are THREE pictures  and THREE videos worth?

(***Update Sept. 2012 - Yet another updated picture at the end of this post!***)

Especially to a darling little boy...

Who waits for a family?

I hope they're enough to show his family how precious he is!

Meet Carlton!

He is not only charming and handsome...

He is also very smart!

He's not yet 5 years old...

But does school work at a 7-8 year old level!!!!

He loves to recite poems!

Here is a short video of him saying a nursery rhyme...

The ending is so cute!

I'm not certain exactly what his physical limitations are...

But he's practicing his walking!

We even have a video showing his efforts in action!

Can you guess what this darling boy wants most of all?

He is longing and dreaming of a family of his own...

He ASKS when they will come...

And he ALMOST got his wish...

He had a family who planned to bring him home...

They even sent him gifts...

Here is a video of him opening them...

Clearly they loved him very much...

But sadly they were unable to adopt him...

So he still waits...

Even worse...

He will be TRANSFERRED before too long...

Imagine this darling, sweet, very smart boy having to endure a mental institute for life!

It just cannot be!!!!

He has to have a family out there somewhere!

Pray his Mom and Dad will see his darling pictures...

And KNOW that he is their son!

That God will open the way and he can come home soon...

And NEVER have to go to the institution!

How long must he wait?
