Sixteen-year-old Daniel is kind, easy-going, and always willing to lend a helping hand.

Daniel likes to be part of a team and wants to be part of a family that wants to spend time together doing small things together that make up normal, family life. He is open to trying new experiences, and is always ready to visit a new restaurant – especially if it is Italian.

Daniel’s eagerness and respectfulness translates to the classroom where he is personable, engaging, and treats others with respect.

Daniel hopes to find an active family that likes sports and the outdoors as well as watching movies together.

His child specific adoption recruiter says the teen would do best in a two-parent household with a strong father figure. He would also benefit from older siblings.
