Photolisting Profile for Christian

Christian is a 13-year-old boy from Texas who is hoping to be adopted.

To know Christian, is to know a youngster who has a great sense of humor, enjoys playing basketball, and likes to draw. Like any child his age, Christian also spends his time playing video games and watching movies. He looks up to the men in his life and responds well to strong, positive male role models. At school, Christian admits that he is often in trouble for "not listening". He likes to argue his points and recognizes that he has trouble responding to authority. Christian responds best to a predictable and very structured environment. He is reluctant to enter new situations and is challenged when it comes to trusting others. Christian will need time to adjust to his new family. However, Christian has big dreams that, with the help of a committed family, can be a reality! Visit me at the TARE Gallery.

Christian needs a committed and experienced family with strong male role models. Christian will need ongoing services to help him develop trust and recognize new ways to manage his emotions. A family that can provide concrete examples of postive coping and social skills is crucial. Christian maintains contact with his siblings who are placed separately from him. Christian values the relationship he has with his siblings and will need support from his forever family to maintain these bonds.
