He would love to be settled and to know he belongs somewhere. Yet he is fearful: 'Maybe I won't be adopted." Or: "Maybe I will and it won't work out." At 13, a boy should be able to take his next few years for granted. But Richard can't -- unless he finds a home where he knows he is welcomed and loved. Slightly built Richard is small for his age and pleasant-looking with blue eyes, brown hair and fair skin. He is in good health. Richard is in Grade Seven and though not academically minded, he is a great reader, regularly taking out books from the school library. Tense, sensitive and shy, Richard is inclined to choose solitary projects like fishing. But he enjoys swimming and last summer played baseball when he found that being part of a team could be a pleasant experience. This boy loves animals. His foster home is on a farm and he spends some of his happiest hours helping with the chores. He enjoys feeding the cattle and milking. Richard needs understanding parents who can get through the protective shell he has built around himself and can help him believe that he is really part of a family.
