Bulletin #12847
William is an active, eight-year-old boy, who loves outdoor activities, riding his bike, playing video games and watching movies. Though he has had multiple placements and is slow to attach, William has formed attachments with his current foster Mom (whom he has lived with for the past four years), and his sister (who has been adopted, separately), with whom he visits, regularly.
William is sensitive to the emotions of others and he can be delightful and kind, sometimes, or aggressive and defiant other times. He is behind, academically and socially, and has recently begun 2nd grade, in a small-group, specialized classroom. With medication, counseling and a Behavior Specialist, William has made improvements in developing his social skills and managing his behavior, but he will likely continue to need specialized services to meet his needs.
William needs emotionally even, patient and calm parents, who can closely supervise and manage oppositional behavior, in a highly structured home. William would benefit most by a two-parent family, who is ready, willing and able to commit to working with other service providers and advocating for William now and in the future. Prospective adoptive parents who are open to continued contact with his current foster Mom and his sister will be viewed favorably.
With the right family, this delightful boy, with lots to give, has great potential to become an independent, happy, healthy, member of your family. Are you that family?
