Photolisting Profile for Robert

Robert is a 15-year-old boy from Kentucky who is hoping to be adopted.

ROBERT (3/94) is an active, exuberant young man who likes school. Robert says, “It’s cool, it’s fun, and I make a lot of friends.” His favorite subject is science because, as he says, “We get to do lots of projects!” Math, on the other hand, is not his favorite because it is hard and there is too much homework. Not one to give up easily, Robert is very flexible on what kind of family he wants – one that wants him! But, as he thought about it, he started dreaming, and like many kids, he decided one on a farm or in the country would be neat. He would like to fish and ride horses. Robert is glad to help out with chores such as carrying the dishes to the kitchen and cleaning his room. Playing board games like Clue, Sorry, and Monopoly are indoor activities he would like to do with a new mom or dad or both, or maybe just watch a movie. Robert also mentioned that he loves amusement parks, especially one with a water park and scary rides. At home, Robert loves video games! His ideal family could have brothers and sisters or not. While he likes other kids and misses his older sister, who has been adopted, getting along with other children is sometimes a challenge for Robert. He really wants a family and spends a lot of time worrying that he never will get one. Someone needs to convince him that he deserves a family and that there is a family out there for him.
