About Elijah
You can count on Elijah to sink the big shot to win your family the game. As sure as Elijah is his name, basketball is his game, and he loves playing it so much that he wishes to become an NBA superstar. Elijah loves staying active. In addition to basketball, Elijah likes swimming and football. He enjoys playing outside and going bike riding. He loves playing video games, spending time with friends and watching movies. One of Elijah’s proudest claims involves cleaning his own room and helping with the cooking. Elijah loves satisfying his hunger with Chinese food – how about crab ran goons? When he gets older, Elijah wants to be a police officer, which makes sense because they all need to be in tip-top shape and helps explain why Elijah stays so active. If he could visit anywhere in the world, Elijah would travel to Disney World because – in his words – “it looks really fun!” Elijah says he likes all holidays and enjoys celebrating them by “eating a good dinner, doing cool stuff, going out and being happy.” Amen to that, young man! When he’s asked what he wants to do with a future forever family, Elijah says he wants he wants to have fun whether that means going to movies or playing games. But the most important thing he wants to do with his new family is spend time together. “He wishes for a family who is patient, protective, kind and affectionate and likes doing things together as a family,” adds one of Elijah’s close adults.
Elijah is described as sweet, loving, bubbly and caring. “He's a great kid and is very smart and athletic,” says a person close to him. “Elijah is kind and funny. He wants to do well and please others. Elijah is a calm and laidback child, and he likes to be active and try new things.”
Elijah would be at home in a family with a parent or parents who are experienced and willing to help him get the services he needs. His new forever family will benefit from trauma training. In addition, the family should be open to letting Elijah maintain the relationships that are appropriate and important to him.
