Alex, 6 years old, OH

Alex spent one year in the foster care system before being reunited with his biological mother. Unfortunately, Alex recently had to re-enter foster care after it was determined that his mother was unable to meet his needs due to ongoing alcohol misuse and concerns about her ability to provide appropriate care. Alex is a quiet and shy youth who typically takes time to become comfortable in new environments and with new people. He is a loving, playful child who enjoys making people laugh. He is quickly learning English and goes out of his way to be friendly with everyone he meets. Alex enjoys playing with his toys and likes to stay close to his caregivers. Despite his language barrier, Alex is gentle, patient, and thoughtful with others, including other children.
