Overview

• Colin Farrell and ex-partner Kim Bordenave are finalizing plans to place their son James, 21, in a long-term care facility due to his Angelman syndrome diagnosis.
• The decision stems from concerns about James's care should Farrell and Bordenave become unable to provide for him in the future.
• The chosen facility will allow James to maintain a sense of community, with regular visits and opportunities for outings with his family.
• James lost access to youth special-needs programs upon turning 21, highlighting systemic gaps in adult care for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
• Farrell launched a foundation in 2024 to support families navigating similar challenges, inspired by James’s journey and needs.
