Photolisting Profile for Michael

Michael is a 16-year-old boy from Texas who is hoping to be adopted.

Michael is a loving and thoughtful youth. He enjoys video games, summer camps, go-cart racing, fishing, baseball and anything having to do with cars. He hopes to become a chef or work with cars someday. Michael learns at a slower rate than others his age. He currently participates in special services at school and tries really hard. He attends Catholic Church with his foster family and his faith is important to him. Michael is a baseball player and hopes to continue this sport once he's adopted. Michael's CASA states, "Michael will capture your heart through his thoughtful ways, playful spirit, and his desire to be loved. He's adventurous and an absolute blast to be around. While you're making a difference by welcoming him into your family, at the same time he will show you the amazing gift of unconditional love. His most recent question for me was 'Am I next on the list to get a home?' I want more than anything to say yes." Visit me at the TARE Gallery.
