Ben was born October 17, 2012 and abandoned one year later in a local town. Somebody found him and called the police, and when his parents could not be located he was taken to the local orphanage. Ben was born with heart disease and Down Syndrome. He loves to smile, and responds when you call his name. Ben is a curious little boy who tries to understand everything that is going on around him. He loves music, playing with others, and being tickled. Ben eats and sleeps well and we look forward to seeing the difference that surgery makes in his life, and hope that he will soon know the love of a forever family.
