The Good Shepherd Family Services

Adolfo is in foster care, marking his first experience in the system. Despite the challenges of adjusting to a new environment and navigating his diagnoses of ADHD and anxiety, he has shown remarkable resilience and leadership within his foster home. A natural helper, he takes pride in assisting with household chores and actively participating in family activities. His intelligence and curiosity shine through in his love for learning—whether it’s through books, exploring new topics, or engaging in hands-on activities. He has a deep love for monster trucks and enjoys watching them in action. Church is also an important part of his life, bringing him joy and a sense of community. His compassionate and nurturing nature is especially evident in his role as a big brother—he cherishes spending time with his younger siblings and ensures they feel safe and cared for. This incredible young boy has a heart full of kindness, a mind eager to learn, and a spirit that brightens any room. With the right support and stability, he has the potential to continue thriving and making a positive impact on those around him.

Adolfo has taken on a lot of responsibilities for someone his age. He often looks after his younger siblings, putting their needs before his own. While this shows how loving and caring he is, it means he doesn’t always get to enjoy being a kid. The first time he played a Nintendo Switch, his foster parent saw him truly happy—laughing and having fun without any worries. For Adolfo, a Nintendo Switch would be more than just a toy; it would remind him that he deserves to play and have fun like any other kid. His foster parent wants to help him balance screen time, and this gaming console would give him a great way to relax and enjoy himself. It would be a special gift that shows he is just as deserving of care and happiness as anyone else.
