Nickolas IS waiting for a family

Nickolas, who likes to go by “Nick,” is a likable child who is easy to talk with! Staying active is the key to his good mood, and he enjoys playing sports. Lucky for this avid hiker, living in Colorado gives him access to endless trails to explore. Nick is also preoccupied with learning all he can about countries. He enjoys conversations where he can share his knowledge with others and ask questions. He would love to travel! Television and video games are a great diversion from country discussions, and he is keen on listening to hip-hop and rap music. Nick thrives on one-on-one attention from adults. He has a knack for remembering just about everyone he meets and builds rapport quickly. Making paper airplanes and people laughing are just a couple of Nick’s favorite talents. His most-enjoyed foods are bacon and anything spicy.

This fifth grader’s favorite subject is science.


​Nick is a member of the Ogala Sioux tribe. All family types will be considered regardless of American Indian status. Nick would do best in a family in which he is the youngest or only child in the home. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

This is a LEGAL RISK ADOPTIVE PLACEMENT.

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