Waiting to be Chosen: Trent

January 20, 2017 Children Who Wait 0 Comments

Two year old Trent could not be any cuter?

Trent knows the nanny who takes care of him and he is very close to her. He is active and has a ready smile. Trent likes to listen to music and enjoys toys that make sound. He can hold his bottle and he likes playing with toys in his crib, as well as sitting in the walker.



Trent can sit and he can stand by holding onto the railing on his bed rail. He cannot speak yet, but can understand some things that are said to him, including giving something to someone when asked. Trent can make ‘ah’ sounds to greet people and likes hugs! Trent has Down syndrome and he is listed with Madison Adoption Associates via an orphanage partnership.

MAA staff have met Trent on more than one occasion. Be sure to read this post that was written after Sarah Hansen at MAA met Trent.

Could this precious boy be your son?

There is a $5,000 agency grant with Madison Adoption Associates for Trent’s adoption. Other grants may be available based on the adoptive family’s circumstances. Agency grants are awarded as agency fee reductions. MAA also partners with the Brittany’s Hope Foundation for matching grants, which are given out twice a year (January and July) and to families that are matched with a child.

If you are interested in reviewing Trent’s file or in adopting Trent, please fill out a free PAP Waiting Child Review Form, which can be found here.
