Ryder, 4 years old, IL

Ryder is very shy but loves to make his family laugh. He was born early and had a rough start in life. He has been with his foster family for 4 years and they are planning for an adoption date in the coming months! He is playing catch-up in many areas. He may be tiny for his age, but he is quick to move and yell loudly. Ryder was so excited to be joining all of his siblings going to school this year and is having fun learning in preschool. His family is raising baby ducks, and he just loves them. Ryder took swimming lessons recently and is swimming like a fish. He can’t wait to start soccer this fall.
