November is National Adoption Awareness Month and with our work through Lane County Heart Gallery we want to share with you some of our stories in hopes that a  family will see this child or these children and wat to bring them home.


  ZE'EV (ZAY-ev) IS INTERESTED IN JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING....YOU SHOW HIM SOMETHING NEW....AND HE'S ON IT, BUT CHECKING OUT THESE OLD BONES AND FINDING OUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM?   NOW, THAT WAS COOL.
   ZE'EV LIKES TO BE CALLED "Z"....WE MET UP WITH HIM AT THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON.
   WITH TOUR GUIDE ANNE CRAIG, WE LEARNED ABOUT OREGON'S PREHISTORIC DAYS. 
  
  8 YEAR OLD "Z" WAS TAKING IT ALL IN....AND MAKING SOME PRETTY GOOD OBSERVATIONS.
("It looks like there's fudge inside of this.")
  
  EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SUFFERING FROM ALLERGIES THE DAY WE MET HIM, HE DIDN'T LET IT STOP HIM FROM LEARNING ALL HE COULD. 
("I like that crystal.)
( It's a mineral, it's quartz and you can find a lot of it in Oregon.")

    ZE'EV SAYS HE LIKES JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING...SPORTS AND MATH....READING, AND NOW ROCKS.
("I've actually never really seen these kinds of rocks before I thought they were pretty interesting. I really like gold, too... especially crystals are really cool.")

   ZE'EV'S CASE WORKER IS LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL, ACTIVE FAMILY FOR ZE'EV....ONE THAT CAN INTRODUCE HIM TO LOTS OF NEW THINGS.
(he's super at math but in 1st grade he was having trouble with reading but then he was home schooled and with the one-on-one, he learned really well and he's a great reader now.")

   ZE'EV SAYS, HE'S TIRED OF MOVING AROUND....IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO HAVE A HOME OF HIS OWN....WITH BROTHERS AND SISTERS, DOGS AND CATS.....BUT DEFINATELY, ROOM FOR HIS GROWING ROCK COLLECTION.
