Nickolas IS waiting for a family

Nickolas, who likes to go by “Nick,” enjoys being outdoors! Luckily, he lives in Colorado, where he can find the perfect hiking trails whenever he feels the need to be outside. Indoors or outside, Nick is keen on playing sports. Making paper airplanes is this active child’s favorite thing to do. Nick is fascinated by all things space and could spend hours talking about all the factoids he knows on the subject. Watching television is one way he enjoys relaxing with music also being on the list, especially hip-hop and rap. Bacon and spicy food are a hit with Nick, who favors blue hues. Making others laugh is sure to elevate his mood, and he enjoys one-on-one time with adults. Nick appreciates having age-appropriate independence, like taking the dog on a walk.

As a sixth grader, science is his best-liked class.


Nick is a member of the Ogala Sioux tribe. His caseworker will consider all family types regardless of American Indian status. He would do best in a family where he is the youngest or only child; however, all family types will be considered. 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.
