Elijah (Eli) is waiting for a family

Elijah, who likes to go by “Eli,” is a creative child. A talented artist, he enjoys channeling his energy into tinkering with LEGO bricks and drawing. Eli is keen on creating LEGO worlds, and red is his favorite color. Action figures and anime are also of interest to him. Harry Potter and the world of Zelda tie for the most impressive places to be. Ramen noodles and pizza are go-to meal picks for Eli. This kind child has a soft spot for cats. He is smart and funny, has a great imagination and a playful, sarcastic side. Eli gets along extremely well with adults and forms bonds quickly. He has a large friend group at school. When he wants to get in some active movement, Eli’s top pick is soccer.

This math-loving fellow is doing well in the seventh grade.
​

Eli would do best in a family residing in an urban area, with pets, in which there are other children in the home; however, his caseworker will consider all family types. He has significant connections he will need to maintain following placement. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

For Colorado children, both homestudied and non-homestudied Colorado families are encouraged to inquire; only homestudied families from other states should do so.
