Lincoln from Virginia

Lincoln is a bright and active child with a natural curiosity and creative imagination. He enjoys interactive play-based activities like card and board games and action figures. Lincoln loves gross motor activities and does well when there is minimal competition, like playgrounds and obstacle courses. Lincoln excels in school and his teachers report that he often takes a leadership role in the classroom by helping his peers with schoolwork and rule following. He responds very well to structure and consistency and takes pride in earning rewards for his behavior. Lincoln has a high level of insight and empathy for his age and tunes into his caregiver and peers, matching their energy. He rebounds quickly from setbacks and can independently identify mistakes he made and changes to avoid those mistakes in the future. Lincoln has expressed that he would like to be part of a family with other children and animals. He would do best with a family that can provide structure and boundaries with a patient, supportive, and laid-back approach. In our effort to limit the digital footprint of our children and youth, Virginia has elected to only provide photos to inquiring families. (A digital footprint could be described as a trail left behind when someone uses the internet (e.g. websites visited, social media accounts, photos, etc.). The state wants to be cautious as to who can see and potentially have access to youth’s info.
