“If I could have any animal as a pet, I would pick a bear…”
A lover of all things outdoors, Elijah would rather be out in the woods than just about anywhere else! In fact, when he was asked what his favorite day was, he can’t pick just one, he says his favorite day is any day he gets to go camping. He loves hiking, fishing, swimming, if it’s outside he’ll enjoy it! Elijah is a hands-on kind of kid and likes to do crafts or engineering activities, he’s a big fan of getting to take things apart, see how they work, and then putting them back together perfectly of course!
Elijah would do well in either a one or two-parent home and would love a forever family that came with brothers or sisters. He’s very active and hopes for parents who like to stay busy and do things together as a family, especially if those parents like the outdoors as much as he does. Parents who make communication a priority and make sure to check on him and make sure he’s comfortable are ideal. He is getting more interested in his heritage and would love a family that can introduce him to Black culture like food and music or take him to a predominately Black church so he can experience that.
