aging out child: Jonathon

September 18, 2014 Advocacy, aging-out child, Family Found, older child adoption 1 Comments

Jonathon ages out next February and is listed with Wide Horizons. “Jonathan is a sweet and smart boy who is hoping everyday for a family in the United States. Sadly, this wonderful kid only has 6 months to find a family! Under Chinese adoption law Jonathan must be adopted before he turns 14 years old. Can you imagine losing the opportunity to ever call someone mom or dad? When learning about this, Jonathan pleaded “Please tell the families I can do everything. The other kids from here are younger, they can wait, but I can’t wait! I want to go the US!”

He is physically healthy after an esophageal fistula he was born with was repaired. He attends school and is a good student. He is an assistant to his teachers. He acts as a leader among his peers. He loves to help others. Once when a friend at school passed away and his parents were grieving, “Jonathan” offered to be their son and take care of them as they aged.
