Ben likes to teach, play chess
“I like basketball!” Benjamin (Ben) is a creative, friendly child who loves video games, puzzles and board games. Benjamin also likes to teach others how to play chess and is always up for a challenge. He enjoys swimming, reading, word puzzles and word books.
Benjamin is a smart child who excels in math and reading. He enjoys spending time with both adults and children and likes routines, but he is also up for adventure. He is described by those who know him well as sweet and silly.
Ready for adoption, Benjamin would do best in a single or twoparent family who can help him maintain contact with his siblings, who are placed separately. He currently visits with them at least monthly and looks forward to these visits. Benjamin would do best as the youngest or only child in the home. If there were older children, it would be best if they were teenagers as he becomes overwhelmed easily with the natural chaos that comes with younger children.
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 or 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 who will be a good match with your family.
