This is a child with special needs, his name is Timothy, he was born in February 2017. Despite his diagnosis, the "sunny boy", he grows up as a lively and very active child.

He does not know yet how to walk, but he creeps very actively, studying everything around. Due to his age, he likes to touch everything, to examine and taste. Now his teeth are chopped, so he pulls everything into his mouth, especially the "favorite finger".

Most of all he likes rattles and musical toys, with different melodies and sound. Adults affectionately call Tim "a little professor" for his curiosity and activity.

When he was first seen in the orphanage, he struck the people around with his unusual appearance. "It was a real little Pushkin: curly and funny," the teacher recalls.

Timothy is an affectionate, calm child, loves children and adults, loves to swim. The child is sociable and trustful and immediately disposes to himself.

And, although the boy is stunted from his peers and eats only from the bottle, we are sure: Timothy will be all right, he will find "his" parents and this sunny boy will be really happy!
