It’s been so much fun for us to get to know Scott! This eclectic, old-souled teen has a ton of wonderful qualities. What stands out to us the most is just how focused he is on school and how much he loves learning! Scott does extremely well academically and it’s not unusual at all for him to receive awards and accolades at school. He reports that science, history, and choir are his current favorite courses and that he’d love to learn more about IT and car mechanics in the future. This driven young man hopes to use his love of learning to go to college and become a surgical technician.
When he’s not hitting the books for school assignments, Scott enjoys reading fiction novels, as well as some classics like Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe. Some of his other passions include playing Dungeons & Dragons and Magic the Gathering card games; playing badminton; taking walks; cooking and baking, listening to 80’s metal music like Metallica or Guns and Roses; and traveling. He hopes to someday travel throughout Europe, particularly Belgium, so that he can try to trace his birth family’s heritage.
Scott is a mature teen who relates exceptionally well to adults. Historically, he has had a tendency to bond a bit more easily with the women in his life. Scott is very much open to a single mom; two moms; or a traditional mom/dad family make-up, he simply wants a kind and loving family who shares some interests with him. Scott is really hoping that the right adoptive family for him can be found in the Burley area; though he and his Permanency Team are open to hearing from any Idaho family who thinks they may be a great match for him. A rural setting, or at least a small town, would be ideal for him. He’d like it to be small enough that he can walk to the store or possibly to or from school and friends’ houses if he’d like to. Scott is open to the possibility of having siblings in the home and he also loves animals. He says that he’d like it if his Forever Family has pets…so long as those pets don’t include any aggressive roosters!
Every single minute spent in foster care is one too many for this amazing teen! Scott is a sweet; smart; funny; and driven young man who, with the support of a committed family, has endless potential to create a wonderful future for himself.

The Idaho Wednesday's Child Program prioritizes the safety and security of children, above all else. In an effort to protect the safety of the youth we serve, our process requires families to possess a current, approved adoption home study. Only families with a current home study can view youth's full profiles with videos and photos and submit inquiries, on the Secure Gallery Page.
