Michael is a 11-year-old boy from Virginia who is hoping to be adopted.

This bright face belongs to Michael, an energetic African American little boy who wants to know the stability, love and comfort of having a family all his own. Michael is a very good student, and he makes above average grades. Because of a traumatic past, he has had to address some emotional and behavioral issues through therapy. His behaviors have improved tremendously since he began to receive in-home clinical services. He continues to have difficulty sharing information about his past and will benefit from continued therapy. A patient, nurturing two parent family with other children is the home environment recommended for Michael. He has been through a lot and will be counting on his parents to provide a lot of one-on-one attention and positive reinforcement. Michael will thrive with the unconditional commitment of a forever family that makes him feel loved and accepted and valued as their son.
