Derek is an 18-year-old boy from Florida who is hoping to be adopted.

Derek, a black male born in October of 1990, has a million dollar smile and a quiet charm that will win you over! He enjoys popular music, fishing, and participating in team sports. As this affable youngster enters adolescence, he appears to have developed a combined level of maturity and sense of responsibilty, which are enabling him to think about and make better choices. Although he has made tremendous strides, a "forever" positive role model and stable home will certainly do wonders as he continues to maximize his unfolding potential. Derek does have two siblings with whom he would like to maintain contact after adoption. He is legally free for adoption. This young man needs YOU to help him make his dreams come true!
