Wednesday's Child: 14-Year-Old Kavin

Kavin is a fourteen-year-old young man of Caucasian descent. Kavin's favorite thing to do is listen, dance and sing to Hip Hop and R&B music. He also enjoys playing sports especially football, basketball and roller skating. He loves dogs and would like his own dog someday to love, care for and walk. His favorite breed of dog is a Pitbull because of the shape of their heads and their strength.

When Kavin was asked what type of family he wanted, he stated that he wants an active family with a Dad because he has never had a good male role model in his life. Not much of a "talker" and somewhat anxious about the adoption process, Kavin states that he wants to take any transition slowly. He is comfortable sharing this information about himself because Kavin has been in foster care since he was four and has never given up on finding his forever family. He understands this is a process that he would not be able to do on his own without the help of others. Legally freed for adoption, Kavin would do best in a two-parent family home with much older children or as an only child. Kavin needs to maintain contact with his biological brother and maternal grandmother.
