MEET SIMON
Simon is a friendly, energetic 12 year old with a million dollar smile. Believe it or not, Simon really enjoys school. His teachers say he is very motivated to learn and takes great pride in his academic achievements. In fact, he has won special awards for his handwriting ability. Simon is an avid reader which makes trips to the library one of his favorite activities. However, Simon doesn’t spend all of his time with his nose in a book! His foster family says that he is a fun child to spend time with especially outdoors because he loves sports including soccer, volleyball, and basketball. He also likes to get out of the house and ride his bike. Simon is outgoing and engaging so he enjoys being around other kids, but also would enjoy the special attention that an only child or the youngest in the family receives. Simon does miss his twin sister who lives with another family. It is important to Simon that his permanent family be willing to let him talk to and see his sister sometimes. Simon also wants what all kids need from a family, structure, patience, and, most importantly, to be loved and accepted.
