ADOPTED!
Chase
is an active nine-year-old who enjoys football, baseball, bike riding, and taking evening walks. Because of this he would like to be adopted by a family who likes to keep busy outdoors … and could even help him build his own treehouse. Chase enjoys attending school, especially studying math and working on the computer, but he does need help with his reading and completing his homework. Given Play-doh or Legos, Chase can spend quite a bit of time being creative. He loves to help out his foster family by taking care of the pets, watering the plants and even vacuuming. Chase would like to be part of a forever family who will be patient, loving, and willing to accept him for who he is.
