Adrian and his older brother were brought to the home by CONANI when it was discovered their mother was unable to care for them. The boys and their mother had fled from an abusive stepfather and were living on the streets at the time of their discovery.
Once he warms up to you, Adrian is quick to offer love, hugs, and endless laughs. He is so silly and loves to run around with the other children.
He enjoys baseball, playing with cars, eating, and swimming at the beach! He’s such a loveable boy and we’re so blessed to care for him and his brothers.
