Photolisting Profile for Jimie

Jimie is a 16-year-old boy from Alabama who is hoping to be adopted.

Jimie was born in May, 1993 and currently in the 9th grade (2008-09 school year). Intellectually, Jimie is quite bright and capable of understand complex theories and concepts, but sometimes needs help with homework. His career goal is to be a veterinarian. He is astutely aware of the academic requirements for his occupational goal and is very motivated to reach his goal.

He worries about his future and needs permanency. Although he's small for his age, Jimie is very athletic and competitive. He likes playing video games, pokemon cards, billiards, go-carts, tennis, and anything outdoors. He responds better to staying busy and always having fun activities available to him. Jimie is someone who is very gentle with animals and inspires those around him to share that quality with him.

Unfortunately, Jimie was often put in the adult care giver role in his family and now feels the need to take care of his mother and siblings. Jimie is currently participating in joint counseling with both of his brothers (John and Johnathon) so they can work through some of the hurtful things they have experienced together. This will help them reach their ultimate goal, which is to find a big happy family together.
