ADOPTED!
Eleven-year-old Jerry seems mature beyond his years, but has a wonderful sense of fun once you get to know him. He enjoys many creative activities and loves animals. He would thrive in a family that would support his interests and encourage him to become the successful young man he would love to become.

If you are interested in this child or other New Mexico children available for adoption, or want information about adopting or fostering through CYFD, please contact Diane Granito, CYFD Adoption Event Manager, at 505.476.1045 or email: dianeg.granito@state.nm.us.

artist comment:
"My son (Dylan, 13) and I drove in great anticipation to Tucumcari to photograph Jerry. When we first met, Jerry seemed much older than eleven. He also came across as serious. That is, until we got in my car to go to some locations ... Jerry’s sense of humor was in full swing and I found myself laughing out loud at his comments. He is precious. His possibilities are endless and I hope a family out there, soon, gets to share all his dreams."
