Wednesday's Child: Tristen

What can you make from a piece of paper? Tristen is creating many things as he teaches himself origami! Reading is a favorite pastime, especially Look & Find books. Being outdoors is great fun for Tristen, who enjoys playing baseball or doing a little gardening. A little shy at first, this loving and affectionate boy warms up quickly when he feels safe. Joking around, especially by being comical with his stories, brings laughter and a smile. He enjoys playing with others, but could be just as happy spending time alone. Being involved in extracurricular activities, such as the YMCA Odyssey program, delights Tristen.

In fourth grade, reading is his strong point. A little extra help in math would be appreciated by this healthy boy who benefits from counseling, which may need to continue following placement.

Tristen longs for a mommy and a daddy who will nurture him and provide him with structure. His prayer is that God will help him find his forever family. He hopes to remain in contact with his current foster mother. Tristen's caseworker prefers a two-parent or single-male home for him; however, all family types will be considered. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

This is a LEGAL RISK ADOPTIVE PLACEMENT. In a legal risk placement, it is expected that the family will eventually adopt the child, even though the birth parents' rights have not been fully terminated at the time of placement.
Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.
