Today's child

Khamari, 14, is an extremely creative young teen of African American descent. Khamari enjoys expressing himself by creating his own music, board games and videos/plays!

He thrives on receiving one-on-one attention from caring adults, but is also able to play independently. He loves to stay busy and is up for engaging in a range of activities.

He is also very curious and loves to talk and ask questions.

Legally freed for adoption, Khamari would benefit being part of an energetic and loving family of any constellation, with or without older children in the home. A family for Khamari would be engaging, nurturing and able to continue the beneficial services he has in place for him.

Can I adopt?
