This week there was a message that went out to the global PKU message listserver regarding 2 baby boys with PKU looking for their forever home and adoptive parents.

“There is an adorable 2 year old boy with PKU available for adoption.  It was detected early and he is on his special formula and diet.  He is developing on track, can run and climb and talk. If you want more info, email  There is an adorable 2 year old boy with PKU available for adoption.  It was detected early and he is on his special formula and diet.  He is developing on track, can run and climb and talk. If you want more info, please email Kathy@wiaa.org .  I tried  to attach a photo but am not sure if it attached. There is also a short blog about him  and video here http://wasatchadoptions.blogspot.com/ You have to fill out a request for password. He is listed under China and there is an older picture of him here http://ourlittlestmatryoshka.wordpress.com/”

If I could make this work, I would adopt him in a heart beat. I think I am a very good person to adopt a PKU baby, I dont think it would be challenging and I know I could provide him a safe loving home , where he can get the quality of life, and treatments that he would need to live his life to the fullest. I have a lot of love to give and would love to give this little man a home and family. However I know in my heart, Cole is just not ready. For a biological baby or to adopt. It is a a huge life long commitment and responsibility.  Since I cannot adopt this beautiful Child, I am posting this in hopes of helping Connect this child with his future family.
