Introducing George

George would like to let families know that he can draw. He is a private, quiet and contemplative young man who studies things before he acts. George’s current foster parent notes, “George is very artistic and he has very, very good artistic abilities.” He likes to draw, read, play video games and watch wrestling. George is very talented with computers and enjoys playing sports and role playing games. When he grows up he would like to be a tattoo artist or design video games. Currently, George is looking to obtain employment so he can purchase a vehicle and get his drivers license.

A closer look…
George responds well to simple directions and does well with tasks that he has an interest in. He has overcome a difficult past and is learning how to open himself up to others and develop trusting relationships. George can appear to be guarded and defensive and would benefit from patience as he forms new bonds. He is a bright young man who shows up for school ready to work.

How you can help…
George notes, “I would like to have a forever family that will go swimming, have family activities and go to games.” The ideal home for George would take an active interest in his activities, drawing & video games, and provide him with love and attention. The family must exhibit a great deal of patience as it will take George an extended period of time to be able to develop trust and seek out a closer relationship with a family. The adoptive family must be willing to support, encourage and challenge him to excel and reach his fullest potential. George has noted that he would like to reside in a rural setting and would like to be able to reestablish a relationship with his siblings. George should be the only child or the youngest child in an adoptive home if possible.
