Michael - Male, age 15

About Michael

Michael is 15 years old and is large for his age. Despite his size, he tends to be somewhat bashful and mannerly with new acquaintances; however, once a bond is formed, his captivating and mischievous personality comes out and it is a "forever" relationship. He enjoys playing video games, watching television, and playing on the computer. He also likes sports although he has to be encouraged to not give up. Michael loves pets and does with young children who are significantly younger than him.

A two-parent family, with a strong father figure would be ideal for Michael, who requires consistent, firm structure to do his best. However, a single parent home would also be considered, especially a single father. Michael is legally free for adoption.

Michael thrives with one-on-one attention and responds to charting. He is motivated to work for rewards. He also needs encouragement to exercise and watch what he eats. Michael also needs help developing social skills and expressing his feelings. At times, he displays temper tantrums and acts like a child that is much younger. Potential parents should be aware Michael is developmentally younger than his chronological age. With the proper support and love, Michael can thrive and grow into the young man he is meant to be.
