Starvation affects roughly 795 million people in the world. In many underdeveloped nations, humans suffer unnecessarily from a lack of food when many nations enjoy an overabundance. In fact, 3.1 million children die every year from malnutrition.
Fortunately, there are kind souls in the world that adopt starving children from remote areas of the world. Priscilla Morse is one such woman who adopted a severely malnourished young child from Bulgaria. After getting the young boy the care he needed, the physical and mental transformation that took place was absolutely stunning. You have to see baby Ryan before and after his ordeal...
Leave a COMMENT and letting us know what you think of baby Ryan's recovery.
#1 Here is baby Ryan, an orphan from Bulgaria that was found abandoned and extremely malnourished.
It's hard to believe that he was seven years old in this photo.
#2 Here is another shot of the poor boy shortly after being found.
Through Reece’s Rainbow, an organization that facilitates adoption for children in need, this young boy would get the help he needs in the United States.
#3 Thanks to a Tennessee woman, Ryan would finally get the care he needs.
Priscilla Morse decided that she would spend time giving the young malnourished boy the care he would need to recover.
Here are Priscilla and baby Ryan not long after Priscilla and her husband David adopted him in 2015.
#4 Baby Ryan finally received the medical attention he needed.
It wouldn't be long until signs of recovery started to become apparent...
#5 Here's the little man enjoying some good rest in a comforting swaddle.
Slowly but surely, life started to come back to Ryan.
#6 Here he is finally smiling after so many years of anguish.
Unfortunately, he will suffer from cerebral palsy, microcephaly, dwarfism, scoliosis, and clubbed feet for the rest of his life.
#7 Ryan's care included food, medical attention, and a whole lotta' love.
Here he is getting into the holiday spirit with some reindeer antlers. It was readily apparent that his ailing body was getting some power back. It wouldn't be long until he would reach a healthy weight...
#8 Can you believe that this is baby Ryan now!?
He looks as happy and healthy as any child his age I've ever seen. "Now, he is moving into 24m/2T clothing and weighs 23 lbs. His hair is thick and shiny; his skin is no longer pale, but a lovely olive shade that is representative of his Roma heritage. His lips are full and pink and he just looks like a thriving, healthy little boy," Priscilla said.
#9 Here he is enjoying time at school holding the American flag for pledge time.
How adorable is he!?
#10 If you put a before picture next to this picture of him in a stroller, you wouldn't even recognize him.
#11 That smile!
Priscilla created a page called Saving Baby Ryan to document his incredible journey and even posted a picture of him next to this year's Christmas tree...
#12 Look at him and the family's beautiful Christmas tree!
Thanks to Priscilla and David, Ryan is now able to enjoy life with a family without the daily struggle of starvation.
