We met Jace in 2024 and just visited with him again on our most recent trip to Colombia. Jace is a soft-spoken, caring, intelligent boy with a strong Christian faith. He likes playing video games but quickly shared that he does not like violence and believes there should be “more calm in the world.” Jace enjoys playing any sport that involves a ball, drawing, and spending time with his friends. He imagines having a large extended family one day.
QUESTION: What do you want in an adoptive family?
Jace: “I want a family who behaves well and does not believe in yelling and offending or hitting.”
Committed to his studies, when Jace grows up he wants to be a technology engineer and make 3D computer figures.
Jace is described by his caregivers as calm, cheerful and friendly. Jace has a limb difference and is working with the care team around the tough start he had in life and has not let any of this slow him down.
Children like Jace, who are considered ‘waiting children’, generally have multi-faceted characteristics and needs which exceed the common characteristics and needs of children otherwise placed in one of our international programs. We are looking for the right family for waiting children because of their unique needs and vulnerabilities.
