Gene, 15, is learning to play guitar

Gene is a quiet teen of Caucasian descent. Reserved at first, once he gets to know you, he becomes friendly and outgoing. Gene enjoys sports and is athletic. He plans to play basketball at school this winter. Gene has also played soccer, baseball and Pop Warner football. Other favorite activities include playing video games and collecting Pokemon cards. He is learning to play the guitar and ukulele.

Legally freed for adoption, Gene is seeking a two-parent home with a mother and a father, or a single male or female parent. An ideal home for Gene would be a family that can provide him with the stability and structure he needs to thrive. His social worker believes he would do well in a family with or without other children. He would especially do well in a placement with younger children. The considering family must be open to helping Gene maintain his relationship with his older sister.
