Zadrick, 12, enjoys video games
Zadrick is a healthy, friendly, talkative and pleasant 12-year-old boy of Hispanic descent. He is a homebody and likes to stay inside rather than go shopping or even take a vacation. He is cautious about trying new things and is selective about what he eats. He loves to watch sports on TV but does not care to play sports, except volleyball and flag football. He also loves to play wrestling video games. Zadrick is resourceful and good at advocating for himself.
He is in the sixth grade and has an Individualized Education Plan. He has a few friends at school and tends to engage with younger children. Legally free for adoption, Zadrick would do well in a structured home with firm parents. He would do well in most any family constellation, with or without children, as long as he receives love, attention and encouragement to build his selfesteem. Zadrick would like to maintain contact with his two sisters, his paternal grandmother and his last pre-adoptive dad.
Who can adopt?
Can you provide the guidance, love and stability that a child needs? If you’re at least 18 years old, have a stable source of income and room in your heart, you may be a perfect match to adopt a waiting child. Adoptive parents can be single, married or partnered; experienced or not; renters or homeowners; LGBTQ singles and couples.
The process to adopt a child from foster care requires training, interviews and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you, and if so, to help connect you with a child or sibling group that your family will be a good match for.
