Richard from Texas

Richard, who prefers to go by RJ, is a bright, fun-loving youth who brings joy and laughter wherever he goes. Known for his great sense of humor and caring heart, RJ enjoys making others laugh, spending time with friends, and staying active. Whether he's playing sports, engaging in a Nerf gun battle, or diving into card and board games, RJ is full of energy and curiosity. He also enjoys quieter moments building with Legos, reading, or exploring video games and his tablet. RJ thrives with animals--especially dogs. Although he may be shy at first, RJ is incredibly warm once he feels comfortable, and he values genuine connection. Open to trying new things, RJ enjoys school and has a special interest in science and history. He has strong opinions when it comes to food--pizza and chili dogs top his list over salads!

RJ would like a family that communicates well. His family will be patient and understanding with each other, willing to listen and discuss situations rather than a more authoritarian type of household. RJ is wanting to be a part of a loving home, who will love him for who he is. His family will be experienced with preteen boys and be willing to seek out resources to assist him as he navigates the upcoming teen years.
