Wednesday's Child: 8-Year-Old Tresean

Tresean is an energetic 8-year-old young boy of African American and Caucasian descent who enjoys staying busy. He enjoys playing video games and taking car rides with his foster family. He does well in his current foster placement as the home provides consistent structure and the same daily routine. In school, Tresean has an active Individualized Education Plan due to a developmental delay. He completed the first grade and is being promoted to the second grade. He struggles with his behavior at times and would do best in a home with older children who could serve as positive role models.

Tresean is legally freed for adoption. An adoptive family will need to be supportive of Tresean's connection to his birth mother and three older siblings. An open adoption agreements calls for four visits a year until the adoption is filed at which time visits would decrease to two visits per year.
