About Jaheim
Jaheim is a thoughtful and ambitious young man with a big heart and a wide range of interests. He enjoys video games and often spends time playing, talking, or venting with his friends. On weekends, he appreciates having time to rest and recharge, and he is proud of his intelligence and wisdom. He describes himself as someone who has good intentions, even if he makes mistakes along the way. In school, Jaheim’s favorite subject is history, and he typically does well academically. He also takes pride in learning about the latest technology, especially new phones, and enjoys collecting Pokémon cards. Outside of academics, he likes watching anime, particularly Naruto and Dragon Ball Z. Sports such as football and basketball interest him, and he has also considered joining a gaming club or trying karate in the future.
Jaheim’s favorite colors are red and gold, his favorite food is pizza, and his favorite animal is the black panther. Looking ahead, he dreams of becoming an entrepreneur with his own clothing brand. His wishes show both his imagination and his independent way of thinking, he imagines a world without hierarchies, the possibility of immortality, or the chance to return in another form through reincarnation. “Jaheim is an outgoing young man who values connection and relationships. He is very resilient, has a big heart, and carries a lot of emotions. He has a contagious laugh and a smile that can make anyone feel better,” shares an adult close to him. Others describe him as polite, friendly, respectful, and persistent. While he can be stubborn and sometimes puts up a tough front, with time and patience, Jaheim opens up and shows how deeply he cares.
Jaheim would do best in a home with a mom and dad who are experienced, structured, and trauma informed. His forever family should be able to set clear expectations, boundaries, and routines while also being supportive and encouraging of his growth. Advocacy for his services is important, as is the ability to help him remain connected to his sibling and the family bonds he values. Jaheim would thrive in a family who can offer consistency, guidance, and opportunities to pursue his interests, while also appreciating the humor, ambition, and heart he brings into their lives.
