Meet Jesus

Jesus is a sweet, energetic, and loving 14 year old, who enjoys participating in sports, playing with his toy car collection, and watching Disney television shows. 
 Jesus’ favorite time of the year is the holiday season, as he enjoys celebrating and participating in the holiday festivities. 
 With an opportunity to be outside, for Jesus, it’s an chance to explore his surroundings, which is reflective of his outgoing nature and his inquisitive mind. 
 When it comes to food; traditional Mexican meals tops the list, especially pan dulce! 
 Jesus’s ultimate dream in life is to be adopted by a loving and caring family, to see him accomplish his goals of graduating from high school, being accepted into, and graduating from college. 
 He would love the opportunity to make memories with his future forever family.
 If you think you could be Jesus’s forever parents, or for another Texas child, please contact the department at 1-800-233-3405, for more information about adoption or www.adoptchildren.org  where you can also find a schedule of online public information meetings, where you can learn more about the foster/adoption program.
