Freddie, born September 1995, is a creative child who likes to draw, write rap songs and read. He enjoys watching basketball and other sports. Some of his favorite foods are ribs and root beer floats. He has a smile that will warm your heart and a good sense of humor. That is just one side of Freddie.
Another side of Freddie is the academic side. His grades are good and he is intelligent. He struggles with math a little bit, but he had a "B" average in his other subjects during the 2008-09 school year. He has stated that he would like to go to college. Of course, like most children his age, what he wants to become when he grows up changes regularly.
Basically, Freddie is like most children his age except he has suffered both physical and emotional hurts. He still feels a deep sense of emotional pain that sometimes manifests itself through the emotion of anger. He is working with a therapist on appropriate ways to express his anger. He has been separated from his brothers who have already been adopted. He maintains contact with them and he is really happy that they have found a forever family, but he still misses being with them all of the time.
Freddie has said that he wants to be successful. When he says this, he isn't talking about becoming rich or powerful as an adult. What Freddie means is that he wants to have a family that he can call his own when he is loved unconditionally.
