I think things will be fine if you dont force anything on him. I do foster care, have a bio daughter and are waiting to adopt.

I have shown the foster care kids what Judaism is about. If they want to learn more later then let them. At 11 it is hard to break what bonds he thinks he might have w/ his xtianity. All you can do is share in Shabbat and celebrate the holidays and then show him that it's beautiful being Jewish.

Then let him decide. Even if he wanted to become Jewish you will still have a year or more depending on your beliefs for conversion and then a Bar Mitzvah. None of which are really on a time frame. So enjoy the time w/ him and let him learn.
