Gavin is a bright young teen who enjoys listening to music like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day. He would some day like to be a fire fighter. Gavin enjoys reading, science, Legos/K'Nex, bike riding, movies, swimming, computer games and playing with cars. Gavin has never been in an airplane and thinks he would enjoy that experience very much. Gavin's favorite foods are Hawaiian pizza and pasta. He is crazy about chocolate pudding with whip cream and ice cream.

Gavin is very bright and inquisitive. He likes to be active, has a good personality and the ability to learn new skills. Gavin is a caring child who can be very nurturing. He is hoping for his very own forever home and a 2-parent or single male household with experienced, patient, adoptive parent(s) would be best for him.

"Gavin is a young man who gives a first impression of being very shy, but from the moment I introduced myself to him and asked his permission to photograph him, he looked me straight in the eye and said "yes." While he did not initiate our conversation topics, he answered clearly and honestly each question I asked him about himself. He seemed self-conscious of his front broken tooth but he also knows that it will be repaired one day. He likes cars and fire trucks and rock music.  Gavin impressed me as a sensitive boy who would thrive with lots of love, attention, and encouragement. He is very sweet and when he lets himself truly smile, he does so with his eyes." -- Kathleen Dreier,  Photographer
