Loving home needed for unique baby born with no eyes
Little Sasha is the third registered case in the world but ‘alone in being otherwise completely healthy’.
The loving and responsive little boy – full name Alexander K – was born in Tomsk in April.
His young mother learned about the rare and difficult disability at late stage of pregnancy and decided that in her circumstances she was not able to care for him.
Her name was not revealed by the local media in western Siberia, although is it known that she went through an orphanage herself and did not feel able to give her son all the help he would need.
So far Russian doctors see no other impairments in baby Sasha’s development, describing him as ‘completely healthy’.
This makes him unique, we were told.
