A typical 9 year old, Amarie is full of questions! Amarie is an outgoing young man brimming with curiosity about the world around him. If you ask him a question, he will always have the right answer for you, too. Amarie likes school and does quite well; his teachers have lots of positive comments about him. He is a “very sweet child,” who likes attention, spending time with other children his age, sharing his toys with friends, and trying new things.

An adoptive family should have patience, a structured routine, and the ability to give Amarie plenty of supervision and one-on-one time. Amarie will require help with appropriate behaviors and boundaries. His DHS adoption worker will consider families from any state, and has stated that a two-parent family with no other children or only older children would be ideal.
