DOES WELL IN SCHOOL
Ricky, 8, is doing well in Grade 3. He is above average in
intelligence and is expected to be an achiever in school,
especially if he is adopted by a family who will give him both
encouragement and opportunities.
Good-looking Ricky has brown eyes, black curly hair and dark
skin.He has flat feet but they do not inhibit his activities at all.
His health is good. Although he may have some slight allergies,
they have not been at all troublesome.
Ricky is a quiet lad, sincere and loyal in his friendships. Very
inquisitive, he prefers to figure things out for himself rather than
having them demonstrated or explained. He is not a sports
enthusiast but is fond of camping.He likes music. His special
interest is his stamp collection.
It is hoped a black family will be found for Ricky. He could be
either the oldest or the youngest child, but there should not be a
child close to his age. Ricky will ,be a wonderful addition to a
family who will give him much love and attention.
To inquire about adopting Ricky, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social• Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
please contact your local Children's Aid Society.
