Karter, 8 months old, VA

Karter is a joyful, easygoing child who is learning so much every day. He loves peek-a-boo more than almost anything, breaking into giggles every single time, no matter how many rounds his foster family plays. Karter came into care as a newborn and has spent his entire life so far with the same foster family, who have provided him steady love and attention while his case moves through the court process. He's a great sleeper, an adventurous eater who'll try just about anything on his plate, and endlessly fascinated by his own reflection in the mirror.
