Bulletin #12246
JOE is a handsome boy with sparkling blue eyes and a sunny disposition. Good-natured and full of vitality, he makes friends easily, and he is well liked by both children and adults. Joe loves to be physically active, playing sports and romping with his foster family's dog. Recently, he has developed an interest in horses, and he says he would like to own one someday. Joe will fit in well with a physically active family.
Joe's abilities to excel at sports, to interact and play with mainstream teammates, and to understand the complexities of various games indicate a good level of intelligence, as do his abilities to fit in with peers and to carry on meaningful conversations with adults.
Joe is a resilient child who is doing an outstanding job of overcoming the rocky start he's had in life. Joe was placed separately from his siblings when they entered foster care because of the difference in their ages and needs. Joe's five-year-old brother and six-year-old sister are already in their adoptive placement. Relatives are adopting his eight-year-old cousin. The children have remained in contact, and they continue to have a close relationship. Ongoing contact with his siblings and cousin will be important for Joe after he finds his adoptive family.
