Edwin

Fourteen-year-old Edwin is always keeping busy:

"I don't want to be bored, so I don't want to be around places not doing anything."

Edwin says he wants to be part of a permament family that also likes to keep busy:

(Edwin:)  "I'd probably say people who like doing things, just let's say have fun."
(Kane:)   "Do you like hugs?"
(Edwin:)  "Maybe sometimes, maybe before bed." 
(Kane:)   "So you wouldn't mind a hug here or there?"
(Edwin:)  "No."
(Kane:)   "Do you like to give hugs back?"
(Edwin:)  "Sometimes."
(Kane:)   "Depends on who it is, right?"
(Edwin:)  "Yeah."

And Edwin says he has a lot to offer a family:

"I'd give them back care and love, and thanks."

Edwin's family recruiter, Dulce, says Edwin would bring a lot of excitement to a family:

"He's enthusiastic and inqisitive. He asks a lot of questions. He likes learning about new things. And he's kind of goofy, so he's funny and he adds a lot of energy to a room."
