Minnesota's waiting children

Star Tribune

Kenny, Kyle, Chris, Mathew and Hunter

Last update: November 8, 2009 - 10:49 PM

Kenny, Kyle, Chris, Mathew and Hunter are brothers who worry they won't find a northern Minnesotan family to adopt all of them. They enjoy outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, snowboarding, swimming and skateboarding, and have many other interests, too.

Kenny, 16, is showing increased independence and responsibility. He likes to hang out with his friends and works at a local restaurant. Kyle, 14, just completed gun safety training and looks forward to deer hunting this year with his foster dad. Christian, 12, is outgoing and talkative and likes playing sports. Mathew, 10, likes to be around people, and enjoys coloring, reading and watching cartoons. Hunter, 9, is an inquisitive, sociable boy who loves video games and sports.

These boys need a family that will love them unconditionally and have a strong commitment to adopt them together. Although each has challenging behaviors and needs, these children may thrive if they find a family that understands the obstacles of parenting children who have experienced a lifetime of difficult obstacles.
