GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — This week's Grant Me Hope kid is Bradley.
One of his favorite activities involves bedtime, which he likes to precede with a story “about where I come from and all the people who loved me.” When he discusses his future forever family, Bradley says he wants to do things together such as swimming, coloring or just talking. He adds that the one thing he looks forward to most is being on his best behavior and being nice to his family.
Bradley enjoys being the center of attention. When expressing his thoughts and feelings, Bradley benefits from guidance to communicate them effectively. With assistance, Bradley has been able to thrive at his current school.
Bradley would do best with two parents who are experienced. His new forever family will need to be patient and able to meet his needs. The ideal family will be very active. Bradley needs a family who can make sure he receives the services he needs to function at his best. An adoptive family will have to provide him with a consistent, highly structured environment with close supervision and the one-on-one attention that Bradley thrives on. Finally, Bradley would do best as the only child in his new home.
