Kyle, 5 months old | 29 DAYS WAITING

CASA IN - Knox County

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.

Kyle currently does not have a designated place to store his toys; they are all kept in a diaper box. Having a toy box would help keep his toys off the floor and create more space in the living room for safe play and movement.
