"What I Want Families to Know…     About Me!"  “I’m a sporty dude! I want a family who hunts, fishes or gets out in the wilderness.”  ~Lyden, age 13   This thirteen-year-old, green-eyed, adventure-seeker never envisioned helping to recruit his own adoptive family…Lyden entered foster care at age 4½ due to no fault of his own. Unable to return to birth family, moving between multiple placements over the last nine years, his hopes of finding a “forever family” have dimmed considerably over time.With his entertaining sense of humor, Lyden initiates lively, captivating conversation. He values connecting with special adults in his life. His foster mother describes Lyden’s impressive ability to rebound from setbacks. But let’s have Lyden tell you more himself!What kinds of things do you like to do after school? Practice casting with my fishing pole, carve wood or watch The Discovery Channel. My favorite all-time show is The Deadliest Catch!If someone were describing one of your talents or skills, they might say you are someone who is...?  Talented at storytelling, fishing, and other things on that line. (Nice pun Lyden!)

What kinds of activities do you enjoy doing with a family?  Fishing, camping, going to parks, and just having fun out there. 

If you could choose, would you be the oldest, youngest or only child in a family? The oldest. I feel looked down on as a younger brother and I liked the feeling of being looked up to as an older brother when I was in my last foster home.How would you describe a great dad? That's a really tricky question.What's the quality you value most in a mom? A mom who fishes!Are there things you've never done that you might like to do someday? Well, its stuff I've done before but I'd like to do again - like horseback riding, archery and crabbing.What are your favorite subjects in school? Thank you, but I'll pass on that one . Maybe hands-on science?What job do you think you might like to do when you are an adult? Be an Alaskan crab fisherman on the Bering Sea. I’ve told everyone that a million times!!

What kind of music do you like to listen to? Rock; and Jimmy Buffett, which is "island music".

What are your favorite foods? Ice cream, fish and grapes.If you could invent anything, what would it be? A fillet knife that could be used for anything.

As a “Wendy’s Wonderful Kid,” Lyden has one last opportunity, through intensive outreach, to be matched with an adoptive resource. Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, a signature program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, is dedicated exclusively to finding adoptive homes for the longest waiting foster children. In partnership with the local social services agency Boys & Girls Aid, along with the Oregon Department of Human Services, the shared Wendy’s goal is to locate an adoptive family for this child. Lyden’s upbeat resilience has permitted him to survive many hardships. Now he awaits his greatest adventure of all – coming home, for good, to an adoptive family.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP LYDEN FIND A FAMILY TO GO FISHING WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lyden is just one of 129,000 waiting children nationwide, and one of over 300 here in Oregon. Behind every unique story is the face of a precious child. Whether you are single, in a loving partnership, or married, foster care adoption is a gratifying, inexpensive way to grow your family. Please call to learn more about Lyden, and other local waiting children: Wendy’s Wonderful Kids at Boys & Girls Aid – 503-542-2330.

Fishing offers the opportunity to be exciting, relaxing and social while recharging your mental batteries.  It takes you away from the everyday worries and stresses in our lives and provides us with the natural vitamins through the sun and outdoors that our bodies not only require but actually crave. 

It's not always about catching the fish. Fishing also allows us to feed our souls.  It strengthens our inner core and allows us to absorb the natural healing powers that it possesses and at the same time to help put into perspective our lives.

When we have the chance to actually catch a fish and they are hitting hard or when you finally catch the big one, fishing then becomes about the rush, the adrenalin power of setting the hook and the excitement is absolutely heart pounding...... it’s awesome.

Sometimes fishing allows us to just hang out with our friends, sitting back talking and having a great time.  It allows us to share the amazing stories that we all have in our lives and truly giving us the time to have deep and understanding friendships. 

We also have to remember it’s extremely important that you release your fish after catching them in order to preserve the future of this sport.  We want to maintain the amazing opportunities that fishing offers.

Fish are sometimes Friends not just Food!
