Henry
15 Years Old
Meet Henry!
Henry is a relaxed, easygoing teen. While he may come across as quiet at first, it doesn’t take long to see how thoughtful and kind he really is. Henry loves playing guitar and has developed impressive skills. He uses his music as a creative way to express himself and connect with others. He is also determined to prove himself as an athlete. Lately, he’s been working hard to make the football team, channeling his energy and determination into something he’s passionate about.
Henry appreciates the calm energy of days spent outside, as well as the open spaces of nature. It’s the perfect setting for an adventure! From white water rafting (he’s tackled man-made waves and looks forward to taking on a real river) to rock climbing, Henry enjoys a challenge that lets him push his limits and discover new things.
His laid back personality fits perfectly with his favorite season, Fall. Though he may have outgrown trick-or-treating, he loves the cozy vibes and hoodie weather. When asked to describe himself in three words, Henry chooses creative, kind, and funny – and these qualities shine through to anyone who meets him.
Henry has big dreams for his future, including becoming a lawyer one day. But for now, his greatest wish is to find a family to call his own; a family that can offer the love, support, and guidance he deserves.
Henry would thrive in a calm, structured home where he can receive the attention and patience needed to build trust and lasting connections. He would especially like a positive male role model who can encourage him in his journey.
