Silas Gagnon loves his siblings. Even those he hasn’t met yet.
His newest brother-to-be is already born.
His name is Dylan and he’s a 2-year-old who was orphaned in Bulgaria because of his special needs.
Dylan’s biological parents gave him up because he was born with cerebral palsy, a disability that makes it difficult for him to develop physically and perhaps communicate.
That’s how it often is in places like Bulgaria and Eastern Europe, said Stacey Gagnon.
She is the mother of Silas and four other children, including three who were adopted and also have special needs.
Silas is in fifth grade, but he’s taken a proactive approach when it comes to bringing Dylan to his new home here in Camp Verde.
