ryan IS WAITING FOR A FAMILY

Ryan is described as extremely outgoing, charismatic, witty, socially gifted, caring, kind, and self-confident. Training for a 5K is just one of his many goals! Ryan is naturally athletic and would relish the opportunity to participate in team sports someday soon. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games and trying out new dance moves. Ryan favors the color blue, dreams of becoming an "Army guy" when he grows up, and would like to possess the superpowers of speed, flying and strength. He is also a great eater. 

Ryan is a hard-working second grader who has a strong drive to succeed.  


He will do best in a home in which he can be the only child; however; his caseworker will consider all family types. Ryan will need to maintain a relationship with his siblings and grandmother following placement. Due to these connections, a family in COLORADO is preferred. A match for Ryan must have a secure attachment, previous parenting experience, knowledge about attachment and trauma, confidence, a large support system and the space and time in their life to prioritize his needs. He will be matched with a family who is committed to keeping structure in his life with after school activities and continued services. 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.
