| Michael is an unstoppable ball of love and creativity. Whether he’s jamming to the beat, rocking the drums, or belting out tunes, there’s no doubt he’s musically inclined. When he’s not creating music, he taps into his other creative side with building, painting, and drawing like there’s no tomorrow. When it’s time for some physical activities, you’ll find him bouncing on the trampoline or making waves in the pool. There’s no activity too big or small for Michael. |
Michael has made awesome strides in developing his skills and looks forward to conquering the school day with a smile. Despite having fewer words than his peers, Michael will use shorter phrases and sentences when joining classroom discussions. During playtime, Michael may dive into activities with his pals or he plays independently right alongside them. Michael benefits from having an Individual Education Plan and the support of an educational assistant. |
| Michael has heartwarming ties with his original family members, foster parents, and support workers. These interactions bring a sense of continuity and belonging, providing Michael with a strong foundation of love and support. It would be important to maintain a connection post-adoption. |
Michael previously had a one-to-one worker to support him in the home to help build confidence in mastering his morning routines and evening rituals. Michael has made amazing gains and is now rocking his daily home routines with some assistance from his foster parent and no longer utilizing his one-to-one worker. He benefits from support services on a weekly basis to support his speech and build his life skills. |
| For Michael, an ideal home is one with either two parents or a single parent surrounded by a robust support network. He will do well in environments with pets and older children. Michael’s adoptive family should be ready to offer him ample attention and supervision, creating a nurturing space where he can continue to learn and grow. |
Michael’s team is considering families who are AdoptReady and those who have not yet begun their homestudy. If you’d like to learn more about Michael, please contact [email protected] to be connected with a Clinical Coordinator. If you are new to the adoption process, contact Centralized Adoption Intake Services.
