Ethan* is a kind, respectful and soft-spoken 8-year-old boy who is need of a foster carer who would ideally live in the vicinity of North Dublin.

Ethan loves animals and especially his family dog, who he enjoys playing with during his weekly home visits. He also loves video games, going to the playground, and being goofy with his friends. Well-mannered and extremely sociable, Ethan is doing well in school and is a valued member of his class.

In order to continue to thrive, Ethan needs a stable routine and structured home environment with a good bit of one-to-one attention with his foster carer and plenty of opportunities for active play. Weekly visits with his parents and younger brother must also be facilitated.
