Picturing A Home For Every Child
Waiting Children:Charles

An active 7th grader with many interests and talents, who would do best as an only child in a two parent family.

Asked to describe 13-year-old Charles, his social worker’s first thought was how creative and musically talented he is. When not playing the drums, skateboarding, riding his bike, or bowling, he enjoys taking care of the family pets. When in the mood for conversation, he excels at sharing his ideas. Charles relates well to adults, and wants to be adopted into a two-parent home with no children younger than he is.
