Thomas wants a family he can call his own. The family needs to be firm, consistent, and flexible to the challenges of raising an adolescent boy. His family will need to advocate on Thomas's behalf at school and for the therapeutic services he will need to address his behavior. A family with a stay at home mother with one or two other children his age or older would be great for Thomas.
