Picturing A Home For Every Child
Waiting Children:Angel
Angel, age 13 [photo by Baron Wolman]

Angel is a resilient, outgoing and mellow young man who likes school, particularly science. He loves animals, especially dogs, and would love to have a dog of his own in his Forever Family. He enjoys playing with his hacky sack, riding his bike, making crafts and painting. He also enjoys playing and watching baseball and basketball. Angel would make an excellent entrepreneur as he has a great ability to think outside the box.

As Angel has a traumatic history it is felt that his Forever Family would need to be understanding and open to hearing his pain. Angel has made great improvements in treatment foster care on anger issues and learning to express himself appropriately. He is able to maintain boundaries and has grown in his ability to trust adults. Angel would like a mom and dad and would be fine with siblings, although he would prefer to be the youngest child.
