Sunday’s Child is a weekly column featuring a child currently in foster care awaiting adoption.
Bacari is a healthy and happy 16-year-old.
He is active and energetic and enjoys walking, playing basketball, and participating in other outdoor activities.
Bacari warms up to people as he gets to know them and enjoys socializing with others.
He enjoys art and crafts and expressing himself through narrative writing. Bacari also enjoys discussing space and meteorites. People who know him say that he has a great sense of humor.
Bacari does well in school, and although he is currently unsure of the type of career he would like to pursue, he enjoys animation and creating cartoons and comics.
Legally freed for adoption, Bacari is looking for a forever family that he hopes will be loving, structured, but not too strict. All family constellations will be considered, including those with older or younger children in the home. Bacari does have biological connections that an adoptive family would need to help him maintain. He also feels connected to his community and would love to have that fostered, as well.
