Photolisting Profile for William

William is a 11-year-old boy from Texas who is hoping to be adopted.

William tends to stay to himself and will need to gradually warm up to you before he opens conversation. William gets along with everyone. He is still working on being more cooperative and less argumentative when things do not go his way. He requires guidance and redirection on a frequent basis. Foster parents describe William as good at using maps and structures to find locations and directions. He is able to locate places of interests throughout the city, state, and country. William likes to play various computer games, watch children's videos, and play indoor games like putting puzzles together or board games. William needs help to increase respect for his teachers and is working at being more receptive to their guidance. He is at grade level as a student but is challenged academically. He is however a bright child who will improve with one-on-one attention and additional services for his academics and emotional needs. Visit me at the TARE Gallery.

William will need a family to be patient with him and stand by him no matter how challenging his behaviors may be. His family will need to support his continued communication with his siblings. William wants to be adopted into an active, outgoing family. A family with experience in adolescent behavior will be in William's best interest. He requires a family with structure, child rearing experience, and who likes routine. William will also need a family who can help maintain his current school performance. He gets along with children but seeks individualized attention, so a family with no more than one or two other children will be best for William.
