Meet BRYCE (12/93) who is legally free and ready for an adoptive family. An attractive teenager of Native American (Eastern Shoshone) heritage, Bryce would like to tell you a bit about himself.
"My name is Bryce and I'm 14 years old. I would describe myself as happy, joyful, and funny. I like to spend time outdoors, and I like to play football and basketball. I also like to go camping, fishing, hunting, and hiking. When I have time, I like to hang out with my friends. I also like to go shopping, and it's great when I can find a good deal on something. I'm a sketch artist and I also like to make drawings on the computer. I like math class the best in school and English and science the least.

I'd like to live in a family where there isn't any yelling, and it would be great to have both a mom and dad who can be my parents together. I would like to have parents who are understanding of my past and open to talking through difficult situations. I am really helpful doing projects around the house. I like using tools and I'm good at yard work. I even like to mow the lawn."

Bryce has a smile that warms everyone around him. He is very well-liked by the other boys in his group home. He always makes a positive impression on adults as well as his peers. His greatest accomplishment is the work he's done this past year in treatment. He's mastering self-control and issues that once seemed insurmountable. Bryce is very insightful, can see how his actions help or hurt others and is very motivated towards lasting changes in his life. He talks about his dream of being a good father one day to his children, encouraging and playing with them. "I will do what my brothers did for me--like 'Hey, you want to play basketball with me?'" said Bryce. "And if they don't like that particular sport, I'll find out what they do like and be there to develop that interest." Bryce also hopes for a similar role model in an adoptive father. It is not too late for someone to be exactly that kind of person for him.

Bryce is Native-American. The Indian Child Welfare Act applies in his case. His adoption team will prefer placement in a family with at least one parent with Native American heritage. If your family fits these requirements, please ask the Idaho CareLine to connect you directly to Norma Nelson at the Northwest Adoption Exchange.

Subsidy and Purchase of Service may be available.
