Enthusiastic Five-year-old Loves Toy Cars, Trucks and the Outdoors

Travis has energy to match his enthusiasm for a variety of outdoor activities
Travis appears shy when you first meet him, but given some time to warm up, he is a charm!  This five-year-old enjoys the outdoors, and has the energy to match his enthusiasm for a variety of outdoor activities.  However, when it comes to playing with toy trucks and cars, it doesn't matter whether Travis is indoors or outdoors.

Travis has a healthy appetite, and enjoys most fast foods that kids his age enjoy, but does not turn down a home cooked meal when it is offered. Despite his Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders, Travis strives to improve when given one-on-one attention and guidance by his caregiver. He receives therapeutic services, medication, and specialized education at school in order to manage his daily challenges. 

This toy car and truck lover has an older sister that he would love to remain in touch with after Travis' Forever Family adopts him.  He is not picky when it comes to a family, he only hopes to one day have a home to call his own.

For additional information about Travis, or other children in need of adoption, call the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services at 1 (800) 259-3428.  If you are interested in providing a safe and stable home for a child who needs one, please call today or visit www.dcfs.louisiana.gov.
