Picturing A Home For Every Child
Waiting Children:Jesus V.

An athletic fifteen year old that would love to be adopted by a Hispanic family who would support him in his extracurricular activities.

Jesus is a bright, handsome young man with a great smile! He is very athletic - last year he won first place in his school's wrestling tournament. He currently plays both offense and defense in football, and he also enjoys basketball. Jesus is also sociable, and likes hanging out and going to the movies with his friends. He could do better in school, where he is in the ninth grade, by turning in his homework regularly and is working on that. Jesus would like to maintain contact with his siblings. He is fluent in both English and Spanish and would prefer to live with a Hispanic family. Jesus wants and deserves a family who will support him in his sports and other extra curricular activities.
