Cool, calm, and collected Gabriel is an easy-going teen who is ready to meet a family to call his own.

The fifteen-year-old likes to stay active primarily by playing football with his friends. During the hot summer months, you’ll have a hard time getting Gabriel out of the water.

Gabriel isn’t too picky when it comes to what he wants his forever family to look like. Although he prefers to be an only child, he does get along with other kids and is open to having siblings. He hopes to have an active, outgoing family that can keep up with his athletic nature and will embrace his kind spirit.
