Meet Wes!

Wes is a 9-year-old boy that was adopted through foster care. He is in need of a new home. Wes is struggling in his current family dynamics and has had a difficult time bonding. His family has partnered with us to try and find him a better fitting home. We are looking for a two-parent household or single parent household with a strong support network. Both heterosexual and LGBTQ+ singles and individuals are invited to inquire. Wes would do best as the only child or youngest in his new family. Families with other children will be considered on a case-by-case basis. There is no preference on the religion, location, age or employment of the new adoptive parent(s). Wes’s current family wants to find a family that is confident in meeting his needs.

Wes is described as observant, eager, optimistic, polite, and confident. He thrives on attention and enjoys school and learning new things. Wes is an active boy. He likes cars, dirt bikes, ATV’s and anything with wheels. He has voiced that he would love to be a racecar driver someday. Some of his hobbies include playing with Legos and building things, and doing puzzles. Wes is considered more of a home body but he still likes to play outside. He enjoys riding his bike or throwing a baseball up in the car and hitting it with his bat. His favorite sport is baseball.

Wes is social and enjoys being around other people. He is happy doing any task, game, activity, as long as it’s with someone else. Overall, he’s pretty easy going. Wes wants connection and we are hopeful that he’ll be able to find that in a new home.

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 could be difficult, but we feel confident that there are parents of all types 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.
