Jorge from Idaho

Jorge is an amazing teen with a caring soul and a really great sense of humor who wants people to know that he has a lot to offer a family. Jorge loves outdoor activities like camping, hunting and fishing and also enjoys sports like football, basketball, baseball and soccer. He would love to have a special father/son trip to see a Kansas City Chiefs game someday! Jorge has a quieter side as well and enjoys spending time drawing anime or Fortnite characters; reading mythology books; and watching you-tube videos. He can also make some really cool things out of Origami! His favorite foods include Sushi, egg roles and ice cream and will rarely turn down a cookie, unless it’s a double chocolate chip one because he thinks that’s just too much chocolate! Jorge longs for a family who will always protect him, one who is active and loves to travel. This adventurous boy is looking forward to outings with his new family visiting fairs, amusement parks and hopefully a family trip to the Oregon coast so that he can walk on the beach and find the perfect sand dollar! After Oregon, he thinks he’ll set his sights even higher when it comes to traveling and hopes to someday visit Guatemala, South Korea, Japan and China to try all of their amazing food and collect foreign currency! Jorge has a goal of one day becoming an artist, a video game designer, a boxer or maybe a counselor so that he can use his life experience to help kids who have been through hard things heal. The perfect family fit for this deserving young man will include a really hands-on Dad who has interest in things like fishing, sports, and building stuff or working on cars together. Jorge is also a big animal lover! He has cared for cats as well as goats in the past and hopes his family also loves pets! Jorge has experienced a tremendous amount of loss in his young life and will thrive in a home with parents who have understanding of grief and loss and how it impacts children. A structured, yet fun and forgiving home environment will really allow Jorge to feel safe and reach his full potential. A Hispanic family would be an ideal fit for him, but Jorge and his team are open to any family who can value and support his cultural identity. Jorge’s Permanency Team is open to hearing from Idaho families, as well as out of state families who feel that they may be a great match for him. Jorge is excited to find a place to call home and a family who will treasure him for all that he has to offer. If you feel that your family has what we are looking for, please reach out and inquire about Jorge today!
