Shane

Our buddy Shane is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He’s a young man who desperately needs a loving, caring family to show him what a real family is all about, but he’s faced so much instability and uncertainty in his life that he has a well-earned distrust for adults. He wants and needs a family, yet he pushes away opportunities for families like you to get to see the real Shane. Imagine the frustration it must create to live in that state of flux, and then try to imagine trying to deal with these conflicting emotions without the benefit of a loving childhood and supportive family. The resulting behaviors – anger, depression, acting out – are completely natural and normal. But that’s also the best part about Shane. With the right family and right support, all of this can change, and change quickly. Then we’ll get to see a lot more of the real Shane – the sweet kid who really loves animals and playing Pokemon. With the right family, especially one with a strong male role model, Shane can become whatever he wants to and discover things about himself that even he didn’t know he was capable of. What an amazing opportunity to be able to give him that power!
