Meet Christopher, a 16 year old boy who is seeking his forever family.
Christopher is a bright and respectful teenager, who will be starting the 12th grade as a high school senior this fall, as school is very important to him.
During the summer months Christopher, is attending the boys and girls club and makes friends easily.
When not studying. Christopher enjoys cooking and is able to make enchiladas, pozole and menudo. And like many teens his age Christopher enjoys playing video games on his x-box and Nintendo switch.
Like his cooking skills, Christopher also has a creative side, as he makes his own music, and perhaps one day may have a career as a rapper or as a police officer.
When asked what he is for in a forever family, Christopher would like to be an older brother, and have siblings who he could be a role model for and if he could have a pet dog that would be great!
