About Raymond
One of the people close to him describes Raymond as “brutally honest. He tells it like it is without hesitation.” Deep down, Raymond is just a softy at heart. He has a good sense of humor, he takes pride in being nice, and when asked to describe himself, Raymond says, “I am fun and a good kid.” He’s a pretty normal kid who likes playing basketball and action video games. On his list of favorite things, Raymond includes wolves, macaroni and cheese and ribs and the colors red, black and silver. Raymond also enjoys watching movies and sports. He loves being outside, riding his bike, taking walks and going camping and fishing. He says his favorite holidays are his birthday and Christmas, and his dream destination is Paris. “I want to eat the food,” he says. When he gets older, Raymond wants to become a police officer. This honest young man wants an honest chance at a forever family. When he’s asked the most important thing he wants others to know, Raymond says, “I want a family.” Raymond looks forward to camping and eating dinner and watching TV with them.
“Raymond is determined to be adopted,” says a person close to him. “He looks out for and stands up for his family and friends. Raymond is able to open up about difficult moments in his past and understand how he has grown from those times. Raymond is a clever kid who is very well-loved.”
Raymond would do best with a parent or parents who have patience and understanding. Raymond’s new forever family must be strong advocates to make sure his needs are met. The family will need to set a consistent structure and daily schedule so Raymond knows what to expect. Finally, his new forever family must be open to letting Raymond maintain his sibling relationships.
