Category: South Texas Kids for Adoption

The following profiles are sent to us by Department of Family Protective Services, and are just a few of the many South Texas Children who are ready for adoption, and hoping and waiting to meet their forever families soon.

Meet John…

John is a very loving and kind 13 year old, who is competitive and loves to play basketball, football, & soccer. Along with his athletic ability, John is very friendly and makes friends wherever he goes, as he has a great sense of humor and enjoys making others laugh and smile.  
John is open to new adventures and opportunities, as he enjoys participating in a range of activities, ranging from riding his bike, running track, to taking part in Sunday school.
John is seeking to become part of a loving and active family, who will encourage him to explore and develop his talents in sports and extracurricular activities.
He will do well with a family who has other children or where he can be an only child; he also likes being around animals and will do well in a family with pets.
If you think you could be John’s forever family or for another Texas child please contact the department at 1-800-233-3405, for more information about adoption or visit www.adoptchildren.org where the schedule of adoption information meeting for Texas are posted.
