Andrew

Description

*Meet Andrew!

*Andrew just turned 9 years old and was adopted domestically.  Andrew needs a home where he can be the youngest and develop at his own speed.  We feel that Andrew deserves a home where he can soak up all the attention he needs from parents who don’t need to divide their attention among other younger children in the home.  We are looking for a homestudy ready (or can be quickly) family to adopt Andrew who is Bible believing, church attending Christian and have no other children under the age of 12 (an older sister would be great too!)  No LDS or Catholic please.  We may consider a single mom but not a single dad.  Andrew has never lived in the city before, he’s always been a country boy—so we’d like for his new family to have a bit of room for him to roam, or at least a big back yard. Andrew also does his best if there is a regular schedule each day—free time or fear of an unknown future is concerning for him.  If this fits your family, please contact us for his full profile.  We would like to share with you the full story on this little boy and why we have partnered with his adopted parents to find a different home for him. Please write to secondchanceinfo@wiaa.org .

Andrew loves tractors, trucks, fishing, softball, riding bikes, playing with the kittens and dogs, jumping on the trampoline and swimming.  He likes to make silly faces and dance around.  His adopted mom told us he “has a super sweet personality under the trauma; he likes to goof around and be silly”.  He often brings wild flowers to her and cards that he made that say “I love you”.  He enjoys sharing his things with his siblings.  He loves to sing—and has a great voice.  He likes hymns and contemporary Christian gospel music.  He sings a lot!  His relationship with Jesus is important to him and he likes to read his Bible.  Andrew would like to be a fireman when he grows up.  Andrew loves all the animals on their farm and they are comfortable with him and enjoy his company.  He also likes to help in the kitchen making food.

Andrew tends to be more of an outdoorsy kid.  He’s always lived in a rural setting and he enjoys the freedom to play outside.  The family doesn’t have a television in their home, so this has encouraged creativity.  Andrew likes to build things and draw.

This is a private adoption, so a state or foster home study might not work. A state authorized private domestic or international home study is generally required. You will need to have a current, or easily-updated home study for this adoption.

Due to state laws, we are not able to place this child in CT, MA, NY, or DE. If you live in OR, you may need to travel to the child’s state to finalize this adoption. If you live in WI or FL, please let us know, as the adoption process may be longer and a bit more expensive than what is listed in our paperwork.  If you have never had a home study before, we cannot help you adopt this child. But we would love to share with you the process of starting a home study so you could be approved for a child in the near future. Please write to us and ask us how to get started! If you are a U.S. citizen living overseas, we may be able to work with you depending on a few details.

Adoption is a legal process so there will be costs associated. This adoption may qualify for the IRS Adoption Tax Credit.

*To protect the privacy of our waiting children and their families, Second Chance does not share real names for our waiting children on the Internet. It is our policy to only share a snippet of a waiting child’s details as well as the type of adoptive family we are looking for. If you fit the POSTED REQUIREMENTS, are home study ready (or can be soon!), and interested in adding this child to your family, please write to us for an honest, in-depth profile on the child including medical, educational, and behavioral information and learn the full story of why this child needs a secondary adoption. Our program social worker and program director have worked together with the child’s family to carefully set the requirements for the new family. These requirements are not negotiable, so please honor the needs of this child by not asking us to bend them for you.
