Description
Say Hi to Liam!
Liam is a 13 years old boy who was adopted internationally. He is in need of a new home, as he isn’t thriving in his current environment.
We are looking for a single parent or a two-parent family (heterosexual and LGBTQ families are welcome to inquire) who is home study ready (or has one that can be updated quickly). Liam could live with or without other siblings, but he has a difficult time with size. If he has siblings that are the same size as him, despite age, he sees them as competition. We are looking for a family that has at least some experience with parenting. There are no preferences as to the employment, age, location, or religion of the new family.
If you fit what we are looking for, please write to us and request his full information: kidteenadoptions@wiaa.org
Liam is described as funny, kind, helpful, easy-going, well-mannered and playful. He has recently been obsessed with diamond art. He’ll create mosaic art using small rhinestones. He enjoys camping and traveling. His favorite place is Disneyland. He enjoys all things/characters associated with Disneyland.
Liam enjoys being active and is said to have amazing physical stamina. He likes being outside riding his bike and playing in the yard. He likes building with Legos, playing card games and board games. He’s very helpful and likes to help cook and bake food in the kitchen.
Liam has not bonded with his family and they’ve made the difficult decision that a different home might be better for him.
This is a private adoption, so a state or foster care home study might not work. A state authorized private domestic or international home study is generally required. You will need a current, updated or new home study for this adoption.
Due to state laws, we are unable to place this child in CT, MA, NY, FL, and DE. If you live in OR, you may need to travel to the child’s state to finalize the adoption. If you live in Wisconsin, there are slightly different rules we have to follow.
If you haven’t started your home study, please contact us for information on how to begin one. However, if we have home study ready families for this child, we will consider them first. Therefore, if you are willing to take a child between the ages of 8 and 15, we suggest you begin the process as soon as possible.
We know that adopting a child over the age of 9 is going to be difficult, but we feel confident that there are parents of all types, single men and women, traditional couples and same-sex couples out there who love kids and would love to add them to their families.
Adoption is a legal process so there will be costs associated with them. There are grants out there to help fund your adoption (please request that information.) This adoption may qualify for the IRS Adoption Tax Credit.
