In school, Rakeem receives special-education services and benefits from the small class size and individual attention. Math is his favorite subject, and he is an excellent reader.
A Lifebook, a continuing record of his life, including photos, souvenirs, documents, and other items as well as his comments, has been started for him. He looks forward to showing it to the family who will adopt him. Rakeem needs a loving, understanding, and supportive family who will provide a structured environment for him and guide him to a bright future. It would be best if he is the only child in the home. Rakeem has been an excellent and protective sibling to his younger brother, and the contact should be maintained.
