Kyle, 5 months old, IN
Kyle was born at home and was exposed to substances at birth. His mother chose to deliver him at home in an effort to avoid involvement with the Department of Child Safety (DCS), as there was an existing case involving Kyle's older sister. Shortly after his birth, Kyle was diagnosed with failure to thrive, but he is steadily improving each day with proper care and support. At just 10 days old, Kyle was removed from his mother’s custody and placed with his maternal grandparents, who are also caring for three of his siblings, helping to keep the family connected.
