Kevin is a Loveable 6-Year-Old in Need of a Family [TUESDAY’S CHILD]

Kevin is a sweet and endearing boy with a healthy curiosity. He's energetic and likes to play soccer and basketball. At 6 years old, he's already faced a great deal of adversity in his short life, but it has not affected his endearing personality.

Kevin enjoys school and does well with the support of an Individualized Education Program.

Kevin, who has developed strong peer relationships, has been placed with relatives of his mother, but they are unable to permanently commit to raising him.  He does well in their home and is an integrated member of the family.

Kevin would do well with a loving and committed family of any makeup with or with other children in the home. Although unable to commit to permanency, his social worker considers his current placement a lifelong connection. Interested families should be open to maintaining that connection. Due to his specific needs, his social worker is only considering families from Massachusetts.
