Overview

• Colin Farrell is actively searching for a long-term care facility for his adult son James, who has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder causing severe physical and intellectual impairments.
• Farrell aims to find a community-integrated setting where James can lead a happy and fulfilled life, connected to others and with opportunities for autonomy.
• He and his ex-partner, Kim Bordenave, feel they cannot provide James with the larger life he deserves as he transitions out of youth-focused services.
• Farrell has expressed concerns about the possibility of state guardianship taking over James's care if both parents are unable to advocate for him in the future.
• In 2024, Farrell launched the Colin Farrell Foundation to address systemic gaps in support for individuals with intellectual disabilities, reflecting his commitment to advocacy and long-term solutions.
