FOSTER HOME SOUGHT for Freddy, Nicholas and Gage
A long-term foster home is being sought for a fifteen year-old Caucasian boy.
Freddy has grown up in a chaotic environment, and would love to live in a family where everyone eats together, family members have outings and activities, and regular discussions take place. Freddy is able to follow rules and respect authority, but needs guidance and clear expectations to keep him on track.
Being young for his age, Freddy loves to play internet games designed for younger children, and has a close friend he likes to play games with. Since he is slightly intellectually challenged, Freddy needs encouragement to learn new skills, but he is able to learn, and glows when successful.
Having experienced much trauma in his life, Freddy needs a one or two-parent foster family able to offer stability and emotional support on a long-term basis.
A long-term foster home is also being sought for 14 month-old Nicholas and his one month-old brother, Gage, both Caucasian boys.
Nicholas is a lively baby, curious and responsive to attention from adults. He is developing well, on track for his age, and always eager to learn. Nicholas is in good health, eats well and sleeps through the night. Baby brother, Gage, is also a healthy, happy baby who is developing normally.
Nicholas and Gage need a two-parent foster family, able to care for them on a long-term basis.
For more information about any of these children, please call Batshaw Youth and Family Centres at 514-932-7161 extension 1139.
