Imogen (aged one) is a lovely, happy and content little girl who loves being outside in her pram, exploring the world around her.

Imogen currently loves watching Miss Rachel on YouTube. She enjoys musical toys and noises. She likes toys that she can scrunch and make sounds with.

Imogen is described as very calm in her nature. She is settled in her foster family and into a routine. Her foster carer describes her as a good-natured baby who enjoys cuddles and company. She says that Imogen is a joy to care for and she makes people happy and smile with her infectious personality.

Imogen was exposed to drug and possibly alcohol misuse during pregnancy. Her mother was given medication to help her to detox which further exposed Imogen to substances and she was born withdrawing. It is also suspected that she has been exposed to domestic violence between her parents.

Imogen has been in foster care since her birth and presents as a happy and sociable little girl who enjoys interaction of any kind and the attention of others. She is a very loving little girl; she enjoys being held and cuddled.

Imogen is making good progress and has formed a close bond to her foster carer and her wider family. 

As Imogen is growing and developing, she is displaying symptoms of foetal alcohol syndrome and cerebral palsy. She does not have a formal diagnosis but will continue to be be monitored by health in terms of this and developmental delay. Despite this, she is making very good progress and she has recently started to walk! 

Imogen needs a family who can understand her history and uncertainty around her developmental needs. She can live with a family that have children as she is used to and enjoys playing and interacting with children, both at home and when out in the community.
