Photolisting Profile for Jorge

Jorge is a 12-year-old boy from Texas who is hoping to be adopted.

Jorge is a loving, outgoing, and polite boy with a very big heart! He enjoys riding his bike, playing football, video and computer games. Jorge is interested in making pottery and enjoys dances he has learned when visiting the Tigua Indian reservation, an important part of his heritage. He also likes to attend church and enjoys being an usher for his congregation. He is bilingual and can speak Spanish fluently. Jorge is a very verbal child and is able to express himself and his emotions. He needs more guidance and supervision than other children to help him further develop his ability to establish connections with others and recognize appropriate boundaries with others and with belongings. He really loves to go to school and works hard on overcoming some academic challenges. Jorge receives extra support services and leadership at school to help him continue to increase his motivation to work cooperatively with his teachers and peers and to practice appropriate boundaries. Jorge requires redirection and help with managing his time. He is very eager to meet his forever family that will give him the love, affection and attention that he deserves.

Jorge needs an ongoing consistent routine that is full of a lot of love, nurturing and encouragement. He will thrive best with a family that will continue to encourage him in his school work. Jorge's family will understand and support the importance of him maintaining birth family connections. His adoptive family will also keep Jorge connected to his Native American culture. He will do well in a family with religious affiliation since he likes to attend church and participate in youth group activities. A family that will be unconditionally committed to nurturing Jorge and bringing out the best in him will be selected. The ideal family will allow Jorge to be the youngest child in the home and allow Jorge to develop a relationship with them at his own pace.
