We are getting a new kid, and it looks like he will be our forever kid! We met him yesterday and he’s just such a cool person. He’s really nerdy and loves science and technology, he plays the same games as us, and he is on high honor roll at school! He is 13 and has been in care for a few years, but it’s hard out there for teenagers so he hasn’t found a forever home yet. He’s moving in this weekend!!!

That’s fabulous! I hope he settles right in.
that’s a good age on your part, not a whole lot of extra care.

YAY! 
@Ninjastar, is the child going to be adopted properly by you, or is he a foster child? Regardless, congrats!
Congratulations from me too!

He’s in foster care for now, but it looks like he will be adoptable soon.

Timeframe? Make sure your house is ready. 
Not that I think he’ll make a mess, it shows order and structure.

F*ucking hell, congratulations @Ninjastar. That is a very abrupt turnaround. Just from what you said here, he doesn’t sound like a rabble-rouser. You’ll have to tell us all about him and how everything’s going.

That’s great! Older children and teenagers have such trouble finding homes. Everyone wants a baby. So good for you helping him out! I hope it works out for all of you.

@Ninjastar. If he’s a bona fide geek you can check out Lumosity.com for him. It’s a brain exercise site.
