Wednesday's Child: 9-Year-Old Jacob
BOSTON (WBZ) ―
Jacob is an active, animated 9-year-old boy of Caucasian descent.
He enjoys swimming, video games and playing with trucks, as well as drawing pictures of army tanks.
Jacob's all-time favorite activity is riding his bicycle, and he could spend hours playing outside.
Jacob has a good appetite and lists ice-cream sandwiches and corn dogs as his favorite foods.
Jacob's social worker is seeking a family who will understand and advocate for Jacob's needs.
Jacob has been diagnosed with autism. He can be verbal and expressive depending on his mood.
He is currently in the fourth grade where he enjoys gym class, especially a good game of tug-a-war.
A two-parent family with older children would be ideal for Jacob.
Being supportive of his relationships with his siblings would also be helpful for Jacob.
Jacob is legally free for adoption and would like to be in a family with brothers and sisters.
