SD DSS - Pennington County

Cliff is an amazing artist who is also very articulate. He loves sports and spends a lot of time outside, hitting balls and playing catch. Cliff has been in foster care since he was abandoned, which has left him struggling with his feelings about his family's decision to leave him. He desires a forever family but finds it difficult to open up to anyone. Cliff is a wonderful young man who strives to please others. He is actively working on improving his communication skills to better express his needs and challenges. Trusting others is hard for him, but he is also doing well in school and is quite smart.

Cliff is really excited about getting a basketball hoop for Christmas. He lives in a pre-adoptive home and loves playing outside. He has a lot of energy, and whenever he feels stressed, he enjoys playing ball and running around. He even showed others where he plans to put the hoop so he can play. This basketball hoop would be an amazing gift for him!
