Wednesday's Child: 17-year-old Dhamanjie

(MARE) - Dhamanjie is an easygoing boy of African American descent. He has a good sense of humor and enjoys making others laugh. In his downtime, Dhamanjie enjoys watching cartoons with his favorite superheroes and playing with his Lego sets. Dhamajnie is a smart student who is thriving academically.

Legally freed for adoption, Dhamanjie is in need of permanent and loving home where he could gradually transition. He will do well in a single or two-parent family that can give him a lot of attention, structure and consistency. Dhamanjie visits with his siblings a few times per year, and this should continue once he is with his new family.
