Question

【题目】 Devon Toomey had been on a website for an internation adoption many times and seen so many kids, but she’d never determined to email the agency about anyone until she came across a photo. It was a baby born without arms and legs. “on seeing him, I just knew he was the right one. There was just something that spoke to me,” she says.

Today, four years later, that boy, named Bowen Toomey, is a 5-year-old kindergartner with two older brothers living in Eagle, Idaho. He is keen on going to school, jumping on trampolines（蹦床）, reading books and applying himself to difficult tasks.

But his physical disability means he can’t live normally like others: Where other children use their hands to handle things, Bowen sometimes uses his mouth or a special band he wears that lets him deal with things like a spoon.

“He does everything any other kids do: he just finds his way to solve different problems. He can ride his skate already,” his mother says. “He particularly loves to swim, and can dive and swim independently. I think he loves it so much because the water is the place where he really doesn’t have limitations限制.”

A former special education teacher, Toomey and her husband, Jeremy, knew they wanted to adopt. Nine months after she discovered Bowen on the website of a Serbian orphanage（孤儿院）, located in Belgrade, the entire family went there to take home their 18-month-old addition.

Although Bowen had been well taken care of at the orphanage, he didn’t get much attention, and for the most part he was just laid in the bed.

The young boy responsed to his new family in a way that he surprised everyone. “We laid eyes on him and from that moment on, he became joyful, which really touched our hearts,” she says, “I said to myself, ‘it is no wonder that I wanted him the moment I saw him’. He is my child.”
