About Paul

 

Paul is a sweet 12-year-old boy who deserves a loving, stable, and forever home.

Paul is an athletic child. When he was younger, he loved to dance and did it often.  He also played on youth soccer and basketball teams over the years. These days, Paul is happy playing basketball at the park, where he’ll give you a run for your money over a few high-energy games of HORSE. Despite his small size, he’s great at shooting 3-pointers and loves showing you how he can make baskets with just one arm, too. He’s a wiz at UNO and loves to play video games for hours at a time if you let him.

Like many kids his age, Paul has a sweet tooth and especially loves blue Gatorade, vanilla Oreos, boba tea slushy drinks and the fancy macarons they sell at the dessert shop.  Playing sports with Paul is a great way to connect with him and allows him to be a typical, fun-loving kid. Paul is very friendly and takes pride in his friendships. He can follow instructions, do nice things for others, give hugs and is remarkably polite. It's helpful for prospective adoptive parents to know that most of Paul’s troublesome behaviors are genuinely not his fault. In fact, he often tries to be well-behaved around adults.

The ideal home for Paul would have very engaged and active parents. With patience, love, and the willingness to help Paul remember his coping skills, parents can look forward to discovering just what a kind, loving and eager-to-please kid he can be. The team working to find Paul his forever home wholeheartedly believes in his ability to thrive with consistent support from committed, patient and loving parents. His team is passionately dedicated to finding him a permanent home and believes he has enormous potential to thrive in a caring environment with plenty of positive reinforcement.

Take a moment to learn about Ryker and Sirena!

Do you know the difference between the Decepticons and Autobots? If so, this kiddo, Ryker, will easily converse with you. Even if your Transformers knowledge is lacking, he loves telling others about them. Ryker goes so far as to say that Transformers are his favorite animal (yes, he REALLY loves them). Building with LEGO is another hit for this kiddo, who also loves people to know that he is proud of how smart he is. Bacon is a yummy treat for him, and army green is his best-liked color. Unsurprisingly, if Ryker could choose his superpower, being a Transformer would be the only option. He has good relationships with peers and adults. This fourth grader always looks forward to recess.

Sirena will be found listening to nursery rhymes and songs all day! As an adult might know, Cocomelon provides catchy tunes that captivate a toddler’s attention. The program certainly captivated Sirena’s attention. She goes a little nutty for her favorite meal of SpaghettiOs. Pink is her most desired color. Sirena is learning quickly and is enjoying becoming a helper around the house. She has positive interactions with peers and is bonded to her caregivers. Sirena blossoms with attention from adults.

Ryker and Sirena would do best in a home where Ryker is the oldest child, and Sirena is the youngest. They have significant connections to maintain following placement. Due to these connections, a home in NEVADA is preferred. We only accept inquiries for the sibling pair, as they will be placed together. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.
