Overview

• Colin Farrell and Kim Bordenave have moved their 21-year-old son, James, who has Angelman syndrome, into a long-term care facility to secure his future care.
• The parents sought to prevent James from becoming a ward of the state if they were unable to care for him due to illness or death.
• James's facility was chosen to provide a connected life, including regular outings and activities, while allowing his parents to remain actively involved.
• Farrell and Bordenave previously secured a conservatorship for James in 2021 and launched the Colin Farrell Foundation in 2024 to support adults with intellectual disabilities.
• Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder, requires lifelong care and presents challenges in adulthood as many services end at age 21.
