Age: 16
Valentin

If you're someone who loves the outdoors, Val is an amazing teen who would fit right in with your family! This resilient young man is a bit of an old soul and relates really well with the adults in his life. Though he can be a little quiet at first, once he gets to know you a bit, you'll see what a wonderful personality and sense of humor he has. Everyone who knows Val well describes him as a great kid who is so much fun to spend time with!

Val describes himself as a caring person who has a huge passion for all things outdoors, including hiking, hunting, camping and especially fishing. Basketball, wrestling, and football are a few of Val's other favorite past-times and he's a huge Raiders fan! Some of this well-rounded youth's other hobbies and likes include building things; working on cars; reading and travelling (hopefully to Alaska sometime soon to hunt and fish!)

A driven young man, Val is working hard on himself and doing the work necessary to build the life he wants, which might include a future in welding, or something where he can work in the outdoors.

Though Val is both Native American and Hispanic, he tells us that he is open to becoming part of a family who is not and is ok with really any type of family make-up. He wouldn't mind being an only child but is also open to having siblings in the home around his same age. Val would like fun, active caregivers who love adventures and have time to spend with him. The ideal family for Val will reside in the Idaho Falls area, however Val and his Permanency Team are open to hearing from folks who live elsewhere, if they share in his interests and believe that they may be a great match for him.

This deserving teen is searching for a place to call "home" and a family who will commit to loving him for a lifetime. Could you be the right family for Val? Inquire today at www.idahowednesdayschild.org.
