Wednesday’s Child – Dean, age 12, Wants to go to Space Someday 

The following information is provided by Wednesday’s Child, an organization that helps Idaho foster children find permanent homes. 

Twelve-year-old Dean is an amazing young man who is sure to make a wonderful addition to the right family. Dean describes his best feature as his personality and sees himself as a cool kid who is smart and funny and as someone who understands hard times and likes to help others whenever he can. 

This eclectic boy has such a fun mixture of interests. Do you like to barbecue? Dean does as well, and enjoys being in charge of the steaks. He also loves sushi, mashed potatoes with gravy, and can bake some really great chocolate chip cookies. If sports are your thing, Dean loves playing and watching both basketball and football, especially when it comes to rooting on his favorite teams: the Lakers and the Chiefs. 

Dean is a big fan of his math and science classes at school and is looking forward to when the time comes to dissect a frog. He also loves learning about all things computer-related and hopes to one day go to college and become a technology specialist. Understanding complex technology will be so helpful when he someday realizes his biggest dream – going to space! 

Like most pre-teens, Dean enjoys playing video games but also loves to watch all kinds of movies and to read; his favorite series right now is “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” He likes to spend time with family playing card games and just might beat you every time in a rousing game of Uno. Traveling is another activity that Dean really enjoys and he has a big goal of someday traveling to Italy, because it looks so beautiful. 

Thanksgiving and Christmas are this sweet boy’s favorite holidays and he looks forward to everything about them, especially all of the delicious food and the family time spent together. Though he likes listening to all kinds of music, listening to Christmas music throughout the holiday season is one of his favorite things to do. 

Dean’s Permanency Team is searching for a family that will be active and engaged with him and can provide him with structure and clear expectations, while also being easygoing and understanding. His team is open to Idaho families, as well as out-of-state families, and is ideally searching for a family where he can be the only child in the home. A family with a stay-at-home parent would be an added bonus for him.
