Editor's Note: Window on the Clearwater has joined the Wednesday's Child network to help spread the word about children that are waiting for families to give them the loving care that they need. Each Wednesday we will profile a different child. For more information about Wednesday's Child and how you can be involved check the web site at: http://www.icwrtc.org/wednesdays-child-1.

Age 15

Meet Robbie, a fun-loving teen with a contagious smile and an amazingly positive attitude! Though life has been unkind to him at times, Robbie's strong sense of resiliency shines through and is the first thing you'll notice when you meet him. A very playful, outgoing, and respectful young man; those who are lucky enough to get to know him also describe Robbie as funny, helpful, smart and curious about many different things.

Fun Facts about Robbie that he would like prospective adoptive families to know include: Like most teenagers with a love of video games, Robbie can get lost in himself for hours playing Halo Reach, Minecraft or searching YouTube and is hoping to be a famous YouTuber someday. Though he's not really into organized sports, Robbie does love swimming and the outdoors in general. He's also enthusiastic about his Science class at school and is most fascinated when learning about the science behind rockets. While not so much a "dog person", Robbie loves cats, lizards and snakes and even had a snake of his own once, named "Cornelius." Robbie is goofy and funny and enjoys making people laugh!

Robbie is also an excellent communicator and has a keen sense of self-awareness for his age. He is SO ready to be a part of a Forever Family and dreams of having a Dad who will build a fort or work on cars with him. Robbie's idea of the perfect family for him would include 2 parents who are flexible, relaxed and will spend quality, one on one time with him. Robbie also envisions being part of a family that values sitting down and eating meals together regularly. Robbie summed up what he is looking for in a family by simply stating that he needs a safe and stable family where he can "Just celebrate being a kid at heart because I missed so much of that in the past."

Robbie's kind heart, adventurous spirit and giant personality are infectious and he will be such a treasured addition to any family. Robbie is sure that the family that is meant to be his is out there somewhere, waiting for him to come along! If you believe that your family is the one he has been dreaming of for such a long time, please inquire to find out more about Robbie today!
