Taylor's speech and understanding appear to be delayed for his age, and he receives services through the school district to address these delays. Taylor has a very close bond with his twin brother, Tyler. Placement would need to include both children. The adoptive family will need to provide the children with love, acceptance, and patience. They also will need to be patient with the transition, and understand that it will take some time for the boys to adjust.

They need to be kept together. Taylor and Tyler are identical twins, who share a special bond. They get along and play well together.

The adoptive family will need to be able to keep a very structured routine for Taylor. They need to have some understanding and/or experience with children who have Autism. The family would need to understand that it might take a longer length of time before a placement can be made. The boys need a caring and attentive family that is willing to adopt both of them. The boys are inseparable and get along very well. The family should be affiliated with some religious entity and actively participate. The family should be active in the community and activities outside of the home.
