Rene is an 11-year old boy of Hispanic descent who can speak both Spanish and English
He is described as bright, engaging and curious. He does well with support and affection and is motivated by praise. Rene loves to play outside and go to the park. He is both active and athletic and enjoys playing sports like basketball.
He has been working on expressing his needs and his feelings and has been making progress. Legally freed for adoption, he will need a family that can give him nurturing support. It will be important to Rene for a future family to help him maintain quarterly visits with his siblings. Families also will need to be open to post-adoption visits with his birth mother.
The ideal family for Rene would have no children or older children and would allow Rene to have his own room.
