Welcome!
We’re delighted you’re considering opening your heart and home to an older child in need. On the following pages, you’ll not only see compelling photographs of beautiful children available for adoption, you’ll get a glimpse of their unique personalities as well. Some of the kids like sports; some like art; some are outgoing; some are shy. But ALL of the children need a safe, nurturing Forever Home where they are given the opportunity to be themselves and receive unconditional love and support. For many reasons – including neglect, abuse and abandonment – these kids have found themselves in the foster care system. Adopting a foster child is not cause for concern—like all kids, these children long for a normal life. They need love. They need families. They need YOU.
All for the children,
Jaymes Sime, President & CEO Child Saving Institute
Gerard is an energetic 11-year-old who loves to play board games and is an excellent chess player! He also enjoys video games and educational computer games as well. Gerard would love nothing more than to have regular family game nights! Despite his loving personality, Gerard tends to be timid until he builds trust with new people. He would thrive in an active family who can meet his energy and show him new activities and experience new adventures together. Gerard may be quiet until he gets accustomed to his new family; however, he welcomes new experiences and is open to trying new things. Gerard has family members whom he’ll need to maintain a connection with. Additionally, he has adult siblings that he would like to re-connect with sometime in the future.
