river is waiting for a family

This sweet young man is River! A great conversationalist, he delights in discussing any topic under the sun with peers and adults. Those who know him best describe him as a teen with a friendly personality, bright mind, and inquisitive nature. A well-loved activity is daydreaming about how to beat zombies. When he isn't daydreaming, River can be found reading a good book. He enjoys watching television and playing video games. With a sweet tooth that can't be beaten, River usually delights in a good Slurpee or candy for a special treat. 

As an eighth-grader, he performs well in school and loves science class. He aspires to attend college and earn degrees in engineering and veterinary science. ​


River would do best in a home in which he can be the only child; however, his caseworker will consider all family types. He loves animals and would do well with pets in the home. He has significant connections that he would like 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.
