Aaron will be 16 in December 2009 and needs a family of his own to celebrate that birthday, the holidays, accomplishments at school and so much more.

 

Aaron came to the attention of the Families Like Ours team at the end of 2008 after spending four years in foster care due to neglect from his birth home. We've watched him grow, mature and become an amazing individuals but we are not Aaron's family, so we and Aaron need your help to make his dream of a family come true. Aaron is an LGBT youth, F-M trans teen that has a great sense of humor, fantastic artistic abilities and a big heart. Aaron needs an accepting, permanent family that has strong yet flexible parenting skills. We've learned from Aaron that he would like to be an adoptive parent some day, obtain a college degree and maybe become a teacher. Aaron is wonderful with younger children, likes to help out, loves music and is very creative. Above all else, Aaron is a typical 15 year that just wants to be part of a family.

 

Aaron is bright and has good academic potential, but lack of permanency and other issues have left Aaron apathetic about school. Aaron has experienced being harassed for not fitting in, but has been getting involved with the school GSA group. Aaron has also attended Camp Ten Tree's summer camp the last couple of summer's and has build some good friendships there.

 

Aaron is very close to a younger sibling, so we are seeking a family in Washington if possible so that relationship can continue and grow. Aaron does have challenges so a family needs to be skilled in helping Aaron learn how to be part of a family, reduce stress effect and stick to the rules in an effective manner. Like any 15 year old, Aaron likes to push the envelop of the adults in charge.

 

Aaron really needs a two parent household and has requested that Families Like Ours seeks a two dad family if possible, but understand that a two mom, or a mom and dad family would be just as great. Of paramount importance is finding adoptive parent(s) who will claim Aaron as their own and who will be there for Aaron in loving, nurturing ways as Aaron navigates adolescence and becomes an adult. Being willing to participate with Aaron in family counseling during the transition into an adoptive home could be a wonderful way of demonstrating their acceptance and commitment to Aaron. It would also be a way of demonstrating that the family supports the use of therapeutic services to help family members in their personal growth and development and to resolve difficulties.
