Fostering in Faith: Israel (Kansas)

Loving, caring, and kind, Israel (13) wants to be a zookeeper when he grows up and says, “Gorillas are my favorite.” He’s most proud of his creative work, especially with pipe cleaners.

He enjoys arts and crafts and drawing pictures. He also likes swimming, especially jumping off the diving board at the pool. Funny jokes and noises make him laugh.

Israel is part of a large sibling set, and although he desperately wants a family to call his own, he hopes to maintain some connection with his biological brothers and sisters. Right now, he struggles with the possibility of losing contact with them.

Israel has some health issues that will require ongoing support, so he needs a patient and understanding family that will love him unconditionally and ensure his needs are met. He thrives in structured environments with lots of routine.

This young man needs and wants a forever family. He’s been through a lot and deserves a place to belong. Please pray for Israel.
