MINNESOTA'S WAITING CHILD

My name is Christopher. Yes, I'm a teenager [15], and yes, people say I'm sweet, lovable and charming -- I agree! I definitely like looking good! I'm a great communicator and have a terrific, quick-witted sense of humor. I enjoy the following things: skateboarding, biking, writing, drawing, singing, camping and campfires, texting, computers and socializing. My ideal family is a married mom and dad; a family who believes in me and understands boys make mistakes; a family that will be my family far past my 18th birthday and has no other kids; if you have kids, they should only be older kids who are completely on board with adoption.

I have the ability to do well and have a strong interest in my heritage. It would be wonderful if my adoptive family has experienced many realms of life too. Although I am optimistic and intelligent, my adoptive family should focus on being supportive to my needs and wants. After all, there's a lot for me and you to process through adoption, and I'm still learning and growing.

For more information about Christopher, please contact Bambi Holloway, PATH, at 1-320-529-0862, or Lorenzo Davis, Minnesota Adoption Resource Network, at 612-746-5129.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
