Noel
Birth date: September 1998
Ethno-Cultural Background: French Canadian
Noel presents as a sad little guy in need of cheering up. Perhaps you would like to help Noel regain his sense of humour and help him feel like he belongs. He is an active, caring, mischievous little guy who has learned that adults aren’t very dependable. Perhaps you would like to help him replace that perspective?
Noel is currently finishing grade 5. He is making average marks at school and has made friends at school. Noel has been very happy in his foster placement and has suggested that they adopt him. Though they are not able to they have made a strong connection with Noel. He also has a relationship with his paternal grandparents and spends many holidays with them. Some openness would be in his best interests.
Noel loves soccer and many outdoor events including the trampoline. He would do well in a family that enjoyed camping and other activities outdoors. He wants a family of his own forever.
Noel has had some behavioural problems in the past and has exhibited low self esteem. He has been quite successful in addressing those problems with his counsellor. His foster parents report big improvements in Noel’s behaviour. He requires a cheering section of his own and he certainly deserves it.
