Grab your helmet and get outdoors! It’ll be a race to keep up with Ryan, who loves spending time outside riding his bicycle! When he’s not busy cycling the neighborhood, you might be able to find him playing soccer or climbing trees.

Bright and sociable, as described by his caseworker, Ryan cherishes spending time with the people he cares most about! He loves spending family time together. Here, Ryan talks about some of his interests, his favorite things, and the type of family he hopes to find.


In the 5th grade, Ryan loves the social aspect of school! He enjoys chatting with friends and hanging out with the people who are important to him. For his In-Depth Profile, Ryan wanted to show off his bike tricks in a challenge he came up with.


Ryan is very resourceful and has shown great capability of meeting the goals that he sets for himself.

Currently Ryan is doing great within his placement and does best when he is able to get the one-on-one attention that he deserves. His team would love to hear from families where Ryan would be the only child, with parents who can devote their time to him.

Ryan has a close relationship with his brother and would like to remain in communication with him, and for this reason his worker especially wants to hear from Washington families! A family who will help Ryan nurture that relationship will benefit him.

Can you see Ryan in your family? Reach out to us! We’re excited to find him the adoptive family he deserves.

Could you see Ryan as part of your family?
