And he gets along very well with other children. At birth, he had a positive drug screen for cocaine. He was placed with his maternal aunt in 1997, and she and her husband have fluctuated regarding adoption and guardianship. Several months ago they decided that it would be best if Clarence was placed in an adoptive home. Clarence has loved having time alone with his uncle, and his worker wants to place him with a strong male mentor to guide him.
Clarence loves fishing, roller blading, and all sports.
Although Ritalin was prescribed to help manage his symptoms, his aunt decided to take him off of the medication. Clarence, who is struggling in school academically and behaviorally, may need to go back on Ritalin to help him concentrate. His worker is recommending a psychological evaluation to assess the appropriateness of medication and to help clarify his special needs. Clarence participates in weekly counseling that is focusing on helping him manage his symptoms of ADHD and preparing him for a permanent family. Couples and single parents who enjoy preteens and teenagers and who can provide the nurturing, stability, and structure that Clarence needs, please call.
