Meet Landon: A Thoughtful, Outdoorsy Teen

March 1, 2023 by kristina berg

Landon is a thoughtful, witty, and nature-loving 16-year-old. Whether fishing, hiking, camping, or hunting, Landon is happiest when he is spending time outdoors with the people he cares about.

He loves quality time with people he feels close to and loves to make others laugh. “He is a very funny, kind, and thoughtful kid,” says Sara, his Child Specific Recruiter.

Landon is a great kid. He is kind, thoughtful, generous, and a joy to be around. He loves to help with projects around the house and would be a great addition to a family that is committed to helping him learn and grow. — Sara Jeske, Child Specific Recruiter

When thinking about his future family, Landon hopes they will have pets and will prioritize spending quality time together. He would love a family who enjoys going on outdoor adventures and exploring new places. “Landon looks forward to having a family and knowing that he will always have a safe place to come back to forever,” says Sara.

While Landon is open to living anywhere, a rural setting would be ideal because of the access to the outdoors. He would do best in a single or two-parent home with pets and older siblings.

Quality family time to Landon means having people to do fun things with, go on adventures, eat meals together and be cared for. “Landon requires a good amount of time and energy, but with the right family he could really thrive,” says Sara.

As a 16-year-old, Landon needs a family who can help him learn and grow and navigate the ups and downs of life as a teenager while also helping set him up for success as a responsible, independent adult. Landon will thrive with parents who can set firm boundaries, remain calm and patient under stress, and love unconditionally.

“Landon is a great kid,” says Sara. “He is kind, thoughtful, generous, and a joy to be around. He loves to help with projects around the house and would be a great addition to a family that is committed to helping him learn and grow.”

Details to Note

Due to contracts with the Minnesota Department of Human Services, the cost of adopting a child from Minnesota foster care is virtually free to families.
