Photolisting Profile for Lavar

Lavar is a 12-year-old boy from Virginia who is hoping to be adopted.

This active youngster is Lavar! He needs a family he can count on to always be there for him to keep him on track as he grows through his teen years and to guide him into adulthood. Lavar is a diehard video game fan and can become upset when not allowed to play. He is currently residing in a therapeutic foster home. To address issues related to behavior, Lavar participates in therapy and relies on medication management. He has made good progress, although he will still “shut down” when he is really disappointed. To help him with behavior issues and academics, Lavar has an Individualized Education Plan and is in a self-contained classroom. He has recently begun wearing braces and glasses and appears to have acclimated to both fairly well. Lavar attends an after school program that he enjoys, and he readily participates in activities with his foster family. This youngster has had a rough start to life and needs to feel like he is a real part of a family. With the help of a loving and committed family in his corner, Lavar can learn how to develop trusting and lasting relationships so important in a successful placement. Can Lavar count on you as that family?
