Kaleb is an adorable healthy four year old boy. He weighs 40lbs and is 39” tall. He attends preschool and is on an IEP for speech. He was working with a speech therapist outside of school; however, due to the progress Kaleb has made, he no longer needs the additional speech services.

Miguel, Brian, and Kaleb need a permanent home. They will most likely need counseling in the future, assistance in school, and services for delays. The boys have been in the same foster home since November 2009. It is their only placement and they are attached to the foster parents. The permanent custody is in appeal.
