Wednesday's Child: 10-Year-Old Aiden

(MARE) - Aiden is an active and friendly boy of Caucasian descent who is not at all shy! Those who know him best say that he is a "great kid" who likes to be busy and engaged in activities. Aiden's interests include swimming, arts & crafts, and playing outside. He also likes anything that has to do with Pokémon.

Aiden is currently attending a public school and is making great gains in academics and peer relationships. He receives extra supports for social/emotional needs and is described as a good student. He particularly excels in math and it is his favorite subject.

Aiden is legally freed for adoption and will thrive in an active family that can provide him with support and individualized attention. His social worker is open to exploring families of any constellation, with or without other children in the home. It is important to Aiden that he maintain contact with his sister who resides in Massachusetts.
