Adam was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia when he was only 3 Months old. Biliary Atresia is a serious but rare disease of the liver that affects newborn infants. The cause of Biliary Atresia is not known, and treatments are only partially successful. The liver damage incurred from Biliary Atresia is caused by injury and loss (Artesia) of the bile ducts that are responsible for draining bile from the liver. Bile is made by the liver and passes through the bile ducts and into the intestines where it helps digest food, fats, and cholesterol. The loss of bile ducts causes bile to remain in the liver. When bile builds up it can damage the liver, causing scarring and loss of liver tissue. Eventually the liver will not be able to work properly and cirrhosis will occur. Once the liver fails, a liver transplant becomes necessary.

In January 2010, five month old Adam Wolcz underwent a liver transplant. He will forever need medical assistance and specialized prescription drugs to keep his body from rejecting his new liver.
