Waiting Children of December | Meet S

December 20, 2015 by Staff Contributor

A photo of a young boy walking on a sidewalk from the waist down.Due to privacy concerns, we ask that you not share S’s information on social media or your personal blog, but would appreciate your willingness to consider S for your family. The photo to the right is not of S. However, there are a number of photos of S available for eligible families who inquire.

This boy has been waiting for his permanent family for over seven years! S was born in March of 2007 and was visited by a volunteer family in the summer of 2014.  He impressed the family on how carefully he read the instructions to complete a project. They observed a considerate boy getting a chair for someone when they didn’t have enough at the lunch table, offering food to other children, and showing off his artwork in his room. He was happily swinging on the playground and enjoyed blowing soap bubbles.

They describe him as a thoughtful, caring, young boy. Agency staff also observed S enjoying arts and crafts. He takes direction fairly well and can speak a few words. He would benefit from family that has teenage children and a hands-on dad.

General Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must be heterosexual couples married at least three years. All applicants should be free of serious chronic physical or mental illness, and possess no criminal history. There are various age requirements for adopting a child from S’s country, so please inquire to learn more.

Learn More About S

If you would like to know more about this child and see additional photos, please contact [email protected] and reference 107-31. Eligible families may qualify for a grant through LSS/CH and Brittany’s Hope Foundation.

Meet oTHER WAITING CHILDREN

During December we are advocating for twelve children who currently wait for families. We appreciate any time you take to get to know these children and consider whether your family, or a family you know, could be theirs.
