American Priscila Morse flew halfway around the world - from the United States to Bulgaria - to adopt a 7-year-old boy with special needs, Ryan, whose heartbreaking photo she saw on Facebook. Before this, the woman already had experience in adopting children with special needs - the Morse family is raising a girl, Mackenzie, with Down syndrome, adopted in Russia.

When the woman arrived at the orphanage where Ryan was staying, he weighed only 7 pounds (3,2 kg), and his bones could be seen through his hair-covered skin (a signal that the body was making a last-ditch attempt to stay warm to survive). the boy was on the edge between life and death, reports Daily Mail.

After spending a year in his new family, Ryan gradually gains weight and begins to talk.

In photos taken in the fall of 2016, he smiles and does not look like a child who suffered from malnutrition and was urgently taken to the hospital immediately after arriving in the USA.

For the first time, the Morse family saw a photo of Ryan in June 2014, and the couple decided to adopt a child.

At that time, the family had already raised 3 children: 2 biological sons Dylan and Jack, as well as Mackenzie adopted in Russia in 2012, the year.

When Mrs. Morse flew to Bulgaria in October 2015 to pick up the boy, and saw the state he was in, she was afraid that he might die before the adoption papers were completed.

After returning to the US with the child, Priscila immediately sent him to the hospital, the doctors did not believe in the possibility of saving the child, but did everything possible, and after a month and a half spent in the hospital, the boy began to recover.

As of December 2016, the boy weighs 23 pounds (10 kg), starts talking and moving. Morses arranged it to a school for children with special needs, where professionals are engaged in the development of a boy.

During the year of treatment, parents learned that Ryan was ill with cerebral palsy, microcephaly, scoliosis and dwarfism, most of these diseases developed in his childhood, when he was hungry and could not move.

Doctors can not say exactly how long his recovery will take, and how full it will be. But the boy’s parents are positive and believe in his recovery.

Priscila Morse herself grew up in a foster family, she had a brother with special needs, who died at the age of 9. The way the parents loved this child inspired her to adopt children with special needs.
