About Dylan
Dylan is a thoughtful, determined, and often funny young person who likes to keep busy. He enjoys spending his weekends reading books, doing hands-on activities, and shooting hoops. After school, he tends to unwind with television or video games. He also likes to keep his room in order and help pick up around the house.
Dylan’s interests stretch across many areas. He likes basketball and hopes to try football in the future. He enjoys spending time outdoors, whether that means kayaking, fishing, camping, or visiting county and state fairs. He loves animals and talks about becoming a veterinarian when he grows up. Dogs and cats are his favorite, and he often says that caring for animals is something he values. When he spends time with friends, he likes going places where they can move, laugh, or explore something new.
Holidays are meaningful to Dylan. He looks forward to Easter egg hunts, trick-or-treating, opening Christmas presents, and sharing good food with the people around him. If he could visit any place, he would choose Cedar Point so he could ride a roller coaster. Green is his favorite color, he enjoys nachos and biscuits with gravy, and funny movies or jokes make him laugh.
Dylan puts effort into his schoolwork and gets good grades. He enjoys learning and is confident when sharing what he knows. He also likes teaching others how to play card games, cornhole, or basketball. Adults who know him describe him as loving, helpful, and full of energy. He wants to make connections with others and wants people to be proud of the work he puts in.
Dylan would benefit from a family that is patient, structured, and able to stay steady during difficult moments. He does best when expectations are clear and consistent, as deviations from routine can lead to difficult behaviors. A parent or parents who understand trauma-related behaviors, use appropriate strategies for dysregulation, and are willing to listen to Dylan’s perspective, even when he is mistaken, would be a strong match. It is recommended that Dylan be the only child in the home or the youngest by a wide gap, with other children being older teens or adults. A single parent is an option, though they would need a strong support network.
Dylan hopes his future family will be active, connected to their community, and ready to try new things with him. He wishes for a family, a cell phone, and an Xbox, and he looks forward to the possibility of shared adventures. Most importantly, he wants a home where he can grow, feel supported, and be understood.
