Jacob enjoys playing outdoor activities: swimming, running, basketball and soccer. Indoors, he loves watching superhero movies and TV shows. His favorite superhero is Wolverine! Jacob also loves to watch “Sponge Bob Square Pants” on Nickelodeon.

Jacob warms up to new people quickly and enjoys competing in games and activities. He is on target academically. Jacob is a highly imaginative child, and like many other children, he uses his imagination to try and get himself out of sticky situations.

Jacob has repeatedly mentioned his desire to be adopted. He craves the feeling of stability that a family provides. Jacob is in need of an adoptive home that promotes a structured living environment, is patient, and is willing to work with Jacob. He would do best in a one- or two-parent family where he could be either the only child or the youngest child.

“Jacob is a cheerful, outgoing 10-year-old, who warms up quickly to new people and new adventures.  His initial confidence needs a bit of a boost from time to time, but he just has to be reminded that he’s very capable.  His clear blue eyes and freckled smile are quick to meet yours; his sense of enthusiasm is contagious.  He’s ready for any challenge or adventure!” – Chris Richards, Photographer
