Polite, inquisitive, engaging, friendly... these are some of the adjectives that describe this month's Heart Gallery Child, Kailub.

He's looking for his forever family, maybe your family.

Shelley met up with Kailub at the Science Factory. He was checking out the new "Colorplay" exhibit but it was Renegade, the iguana, that really intrigued him.

Jennifer Bell, with the Science Factory, told Kailub about Renegade and Kailub asked a lot of questions.

Renegade enjoyed it, he even smiled.

Kailub is in the 3rd grade and really likes math and science and is quite the expert on Astronomy.

The Science Factory was the perfect place to bring him to explore.

Kailub has been in foster care for four years. He recently moved to a new foster home, where he has really responded.

Kailub says, he really likes his current placement, and wants some of the same things, with a forever family.

He is on some medication, and needs parents who can advocate for his medical and environmental needs... and challenge him, educationally... because this little guy has just begun and he's going to go a very long way... maybe even all the way to outer space!

To learn more about Kailub, call (541) 474-3120, extension #332.

The Heart Gallery can be seen this month at:
The Gateway Mall, Valley River Center Oakway Center, Hollywood Video, Friendly Street Market, Grace Community Fellowship, The Eugene Airport, Ray's Food Center in Creswell, and the Peace Health Hospital and Clinics in Cottage Grove.
