Picturing A Home For Every Child
Waiting Children:James
James, age 9 [photo by Laura Shill]

James says his "favorite most fun thing to do is swimming," followed by soccer, baseball and football. Though sometimes he feels the need to be by himself, he is really coming out of his shell and, as you can see from his portrait, he has a great sense of humor. James could thrive in a family with other children but could also do well as an only child. Like many kids, he also loves to chow down at the local pizzeria and McDonald’s.
