Description

*Meet Seth!

He’s a 14-year-old boy that was adopted internationally. Seth and his parents have made the decision that it would be best to find him a new home. He and his parents have not developed an attachment and do not have a healthy parent child relationship. They live more like roommates.

We are looking for a single parent or two parent household, both heterosexual and LGBTQ families are welcome to apply. Seth could live in any type of household. He struggles with impulsivity, so any new family would need to learn how this could impact their current family dynamics. Seth does not have a mean bone in his body and could do well with or without siblings. There is no preference as to the religion, location, employment or age of the new adoptive family. Seth is looking for a family that are “good people.”

Seth has minor behavioral issues. He’s an easy-going kid and is up for pretty much anything. Seth is an active boy and enjoys sports and any type of outdoors activity. He likes hiking, biking, swimming or working out. Seth is a social person and engages easily with others. He loves being involved with what is going on. He is not the type of kid to stay in his room all day.

Seth struggles academically in school and will need continued support in advocating for his needs. However, he absolutely loves school and enjoys learning.

Seth enjoys coloring, art, reading, puzzles, Legos and anything that requires building or constructing. He loves food and would definitely be more than willing to try new foods and restaurants with you. Could you be the family to give Seth a fresh start?

If you fit what we are looking for, please write to us and request his full information. Please email us at kidteenadoptions@wiaa.org

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, or DE. If you live in WI, there are a few steps that have to be followed, but it is possible to adopt from there. If you live in OR, you may need to travel to the child’s state to finalize the adoption. We have made recent connections in FL that could potentially make it possible to place in that state. Please contact us for more information.

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 9 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.
