Since he entered care, William's feet have been corrected, and he can now run and jump and play like his peers. He's been in a foster home since 2005, and he attends school. His teachers report that William is a good problem solver and communicator. He is an excellent student who gets along well with his peers and with the adults in his life. There is nothing that is not wonderful about this young man.
Just imagine how far he will go, how much he will grow with a family's love and support. Wrapped in the confidence and security that having a mother and father provides, William has the potential to become anything, to be anyone. Though William is Hep B positive, his health is excellent. A contact person for the Hepatitis B foundation reviewed William's file and said, "Most children who are chronically infected with hepatitis B can expect to live a long and healthy life. Hepatitis B is a chronic condition, not a life-threatening disease."

Surely there is someone somewhere who has room in her heart and home for this handsome and accomplished little boy. And, really, that is what he is. Not an almost teen or tween. He is a child who longs for the same thing that every child desires. All he needs is someone willing to accept him as he is for who he is at the age he is. All he needs is someone willing to offer home and family and love. Will you?
William is currently on the shared list. WACAP is offering a $4200 grant for an interested family that works through their agency. You can read more about William and watch a wonderful video featuring him here.
Feel free to email me with any questions.
I have been praying for him and had also been thinking about asking for an update. I am SO sad he doesn't have his forever family yet:(
