Meet Marcus!

Introducing Marcus*!

Enjoy the letter below written by Marcus himself! 

My name is Marcus*. I am 11 years old. I attend a special school. I am in first grade. I think I'm really sociable. I really like being around people, but I was born with a slight case of  Pateau  Syndrome and because of that I have some moderate physical differences and slight mental challenges.

But anyway, I love to interact with adults as well as my peers, older or smaller. I always smile and am in a good mood. I am gentle and friendly. But I also defend my opinions.  I do all my chores: make my bed, fold my clothes, do my school work. I work hard to do everything well, the best that I can. I love football and my football hero is James. I also enjoy painting: I like to draw houses.

My parents left me in the hospital when I was about three. I am looking for a family since then.
Could Marcus be your son?
