Adoption Profiles

Introducing Tomas, born Jan 1, 1999

His foster mom says no matter what she asks Tomas to do, he does it willingly. He gets along well with people of all ages and is respectful and has good manners. Tomas loves sports, whether he’s watching them or playing them. He enjoys playing football in both an independent league and for his school’s team. Tomas has a delightful sense of humor and loves to joke with and entertain his friends. His foster family adores him and includes him in all family activities and outings.

Tomas attends a specialized class at school with an Individualized Education Plan that allows more time for him to take tests and be excused from some of the work. One day a week Tomas goes to a resource room where he is learning about times when talking and joking are acceptable and when they can be disruptive. Counseling is helping him understand his circumstances. Tomas has been working on always telling the truth and, since he started living with them, his foster family has seen a great deal of improvement in this, as well as in his attitude and personality.

A Family for Tomas...

Tomas would benefit from a family with a strong, positive male role model. He has developed a close, loving relationship with his foster family and will need a slow transition to move into an adoptive home. His adoptive family will need to be patient and show their commitment by being supportive of and participating in counseling with him. Tomas has a sister with whom he will need to have continued visits and contact. (NC #060-2168)
