About Zachary
Mr. Webster better get started on writing a bigger dictionary. Why? Because we need more positive adjectives to describe Zachary! Here are just a handful of descriptions people who know Zachary well have used: honest, easy to talk to, resilient, open-minded, understanding, and caring. Zachary is known for being a happy person and he makes others around him happy, too, just by being his genuine self. In fact, Zachary goes out of his way to make sure others are cared for. "He is a very good friend and is always willing to be there for others," says someone who knows him well. If you want to turn the tables and make Zachary even happier, just join him in an activity he enjoys such as basketball, video games, or board games. But most importantly, Zachary just wants to spend time together with his future family. Adds one of his close adults, “Zachary wants to be with a family who is nice and in a home where he feels loved and accepted.”
One of Zachary's biggest strengths is his willingness to work hard. That strong work ethic is evident in his school performance. He has made a lot of positive gains in school, is thriving in all of his classes, and is on track to walk to "Pomp and Circumstance" when it's his turn to graduate.
Zachary would do best with a single father or a mom and dad who are experienced and trauma trained. He should be the only child in his new forever family. Zachary will need time to adjust to a new family and time to learn that he is really safe; his new family should be patient and give him all the time and reassurance he needs. Zachary blossoms when given positive feedback for the hard work he puts in at school and on personal improvements, so his parent or parents should be sure to take notice and give credit where credit is due. His new family needs to be committed and stick with Zachary, providing the support and advocacy he needs now and in the future. Since he loves animals, Zachary would do well in a home with pets.
