UPDATE JUNE 2023
Vaughn is now listed as "Gavi" with Hopscotch! His update with Rainbowkids reads: Vaughn can sit unassisted but is not yet able to walk. He reaches for toys and plays with them for a little while. Vaughn babbles and is responsive when working with his physical therapist, psychologist, and pedagogue. Outside of these direct interactions, he spends most of his time in his crib and is described as tearful and restless. He has recently begun to exhibit self-injurious behaviors. Vaughn likes swinging, musical toys, and being carried in an adult’s arms. He relies on the assistance of others for all tasks of daily living. Vaughn's current support needs are high and expected to remain so. Sweet Vaughn has waited so long for a family of his own. I pray he doesn't wait much longer. Could this little boy be the missing piece of your family?
