Dakota

Dakota is a unique, creative, kind and brave boy. He is a transgender male, and prefers to be called Dakota. Dakota loves to learn, hike, read, be outdoors and try new things. He loves cute small things, such as stuffed animals, figurines, and especially animals. Most of the time Dakota is either doodling, or doing something creative such as writing a story. He loves to make others laugh, is very helpful, and will often take kids who are shyer under his wing. He is an advocate for himself and others, and does very well in school. It is very important to Dakota that he be around a family that can be supportive of his gender journey, and can respect him throughout this process. Dakota wants to find a place he can be himself, find lifelong supports, and continue to grow up to be the man he wants to be.
