Parker likes Spider-Man, soccer, rock collecting, astronauts, and cats. He has spent the majority of his life in care. He was in foster care from infancy until 2 years old to return to the biological family for 10 months then re-enter care. He has since been in care for 6 years. He came to my home 15 months ago as my first foster child and I was determined to be his last stop. With both of us refusing to give up we got into a rhythm that works and now the adoption is being finalized! He has been in 5 previous foster homes with 2 of them telling him that they were adopting him for it to ultimately not work out. He talks often about wanting to go to college and is a straight A student they often performs 1-2 grades higher in all subjects. He currently wants to be geologist and spends some time every day looking for different rocks to add to his collection.
