Erik from Texas

Erik is a loving child, especially towards pets. Erik starts and ends his day by spending time with the family cat and they are said to be best friends. He likes receiving hugs. Erik enjoys doing math problems at school and at home! Other fun activities he likes include playing with magnetic blocks and Hot Wheels cars. Erik can be creative in building structures with his blocks. He is a sweet boy who has been working hard to overcome some challenges in his life. Erik likes to be outdoors for trips to the park or the zoo but will also enjoy a family movie night -- with lots of popcorn! Like many children, Erik loves cheeseburgers, fries, and chicken nuggets from McDonald's, as well as pepperoni pizza. Visit me at the The Heart Gallery of Central Texas.

Erik tends to take on the behaviors of those around him and is influenced by people who act in a more mature manner. He will benefit from being in a home where he is the only child or a family with older teenagers. Erik tends to bond more easily to a female caregiver, though a two-parent home has also been a good fit. His family will be patient, nurturing, and supportive of him. They will provide a loving environment to help him reach his full potential. Erik thrives from established routines, and his transition to a new home will need to be slow to provide Erik time to adjust to the family. At this time, a family located in Texas, preferably central Texas, is preferred.
