Cristopher

When Cristopher, who prefers to go by Cris, walks into a room, you might notice his quiet smile and calm demeanor, but there’s so much more to discover about this thoughtful teen. Cris is a young man who thrives on connection and kindness, and he’s ready to build a bond with a family who truly listens and understands him. Cris has a love for Legos, RC cars, and racing games, which makes him the perfect companion for a cozy afternoon of creativity or some friendly competition on a video game console. He also enjoys quiet time, whether tinkering with his RC cars, playing with Legos, or simply relaxing in his room. While he's not into sports, he finds joy in spending time outdoors and appreciates open-ended activities where he can unwind and be himself. When it comes to food, Cris lights up talking about Mexican cuisine and home-cooked meals, especially when they’re made by someone who loves to cook. His favorite colors, black and gold, reflect his subtle but confident style, and his love for all animals shows his open-hearted nature. Cris dreams of a future where he can work with cars and would love to have a 3D printer or a gas-powered RC car to fuel his creativity. He values the little moments: talking, laughing, and spending quality time with his family. For holidays, he especially loves Christmas, not just for the gifts but for the food and the togetherness it brings. Cris is a remarkable young man who has so much to offer a family willing to invest in him. Are you ready to help him build a future as bright as his favorite colors?

According to one of his close adults, “Cris is quiet, reserved, friendly, likes to smile, will speak when spoken to but often keeps to himself. When one on one with a trusted adult, he will engage well and is typically very easy to get along with. He does not get upset easily. He’s been a positive member of our community and is very ready for a forever home.”

Cris would do best with a single dad, mom and dad or two dads. His new family must be fierce advocates for the services that will help him thrive. His new parent or parents need to be patient, understanding, experienced and trauma informed. The family must be able to provide a structured home with a regular routine. Cris would do best as the only or youngest child in the family. Cris would prefer a home with pets if possible! His new family should help him maintain his sibling relationship.
