Photolisting Profile for Orlando

Orlando is a 7-year-old boy from Virginia who is hoping to be adopted.

This is Orlando – a youngster who is just beginning to show everyone how much potential he has! He is an active boy who likes to play with other children and with his toys. He is a bright child, and in school he attends regular classes and can easily complete his school work. He sometimes finds it hard to get along with his peers, and in the past has had trouble following the teacher’s directions. Orlando has also had some difficulty controlling his anger when he is frustrated or wants his own way. He has shown a lot of improvement; medication and a daily behavioral chart have helped him to remain more calm and on-task when at school and better at controlling his anger. In a home environment, he is learning to be responsible for cleaning up his room and taking care of his personal hygiene on a daily basis. Through no fault of his own, Orlando has been in care for a while. He is an affectionate kid who just needs a stable loving home environment where he can grow and learn how to explore ways to tap into all his potential. Orlando will continue to make positive progress as he feels the security and nurturance of a loving family around him.
