Nehemiah from Texas

Nehemiah is a polite and respectful youth who is always ready for an intelligent conversation. He articulately shares his dreams of one day helping other kids who find themselves in similar situations to his own. With a passion for sports, he hopes to join the school football and basketball teams next year. Music is his go-to for relaxation during stressful times, and he often finds solace in its rhythms. Protective of those he cares about, Nehemiah excels in school and enjoys his studies. Like many teens, he loves playing video games and watching humorous online videos, often relishing the time spent with friends, whether in person or over the phone. A fan of home-cooked meals, he particularly enjoys Mexican food and hamburgers. Nehemiah is a sweet kid who will be a wonderful addition to a loving forever home.

Nehemiah will do well in a traditional or nontraditional home. He is very respectful and polite, but he likes rules to be explained to him and he wants to be treated with respect as well. Nehemiah will do well with parents that will be willing to sit and discuss a situation with him as well as explain to him their reason for asking him to do what they are asking. His forever family will provide clear expectations and also clear consequences for any actions. His family will be consistent with him and stick by their word. He loves sports and hopes that his forever family will support him by being at any sporting event that he participates in. His connection to his family is very important to him. Nehemiah considers his relationship with his grandmother, brothers, and cousin to be very important and hopes to be able to continue that contact in his adoptive home. Nehemiah does fine with other children in the home as long as there is an age gap. He is a great kid who wants to be loved!
