About Joseph
This great big world better make way for an equally great big young man, and his name is Joseph. This young man should burst a top button on his shirt with the pride that swells by doing things on his own. Joseph, who also goes by Joe, changes his clothes on his own. He makes his own bed. Joseph reads well and does well in school. “Joseph is a bright child who is eager to learn and has a lot of potential,” says one of the adults close to him. In short, he’s a superstar who likes superheroes, especially Spider-Man.
Joe loves playing outside and enjoys playing basketball, especially shooting hoops with a small ball and a toy rim attached to the back of a chair. He also enjoys playing any sport he can! On the weekends, Joseph likes camping and going to the beach, and when spending time with friends, he likes playing on the trampoline. He also likes building the most interesting towers with his Legos. He’s an adventurous soul who looks forward to going on adventures with his future forever family. Joseph would especially enjoy a camping excursion with them.
“Joseph is a goofy, funny young man who loves his people,” says one of the adults who cares about him the most. “He loves to laugh and joke with the members of his household. Joseph is a fun-loving kiddo who loves life despite setbacks."
Joseph would do best in a home with a single mom, dad or mom and dad who are experienced, trauma informed and able to make sure Joseph receives the services he needs to thrive. If there are other youth in the home, Joseph should be the youngest. His new family must be able to provide the assistance and attention he requires. Joseph has stated a preference for a family who has pets. He would do well in a family with cultural similarities. With the right support from the right family, Joe has the potential to grow into the bright young man he's becoming.
