About Tavion
He might seem quiet at first, but once Tavion feels comfortable, his personality shines through—bright, curious, and full of energy. Whether he’s outside riding his bike or laughing at a silly cartoon, there’s a spark in him that draws people in. His favorite days are the ones spent being active—swimming, biking, going new places, or just having fun with friends. For Tavion, it’s not about the activity, it’s about the experience, the laughter, and being surrounded by people who enjoy life with him. Tavion’s creativity shows up in both his quiet moments and his big ideas. He enjoys drawing, writing, and building with Legos, often getting lost in the details of his creations. He also finds joy in playing video games, and when he talks about his favorite YouTuber—who lives in Texas—it’s clear that Tavion is a dreamer with big hopes and a love for connection.
He's proud of the hard work he’s put into growing and learning more about himself, and he’ll tell you so: “I’m proud of working on me and not giving up.” That kind of self-awareness and grit, especially at his age, says a lot about the strength he carries. An adult close to him says, “Tavion can be very sweet, playful, and helpful. He has the best laugh and smile. He can brighten up any room he walks into with that smile.” Tavion is also kind and helpful, quick to pitch in with chores like taking out the trash or tidying up his room. He especially lights up around animals, dogs are his favorite, and he’s excited about the idea of one day visiting Pig Island in the Bahamas to swim with the pigs. School has its ups and downs, but math is where Tavion feels most confident. He also participates in a mentorship program, where he benefits from guidance and structured support. At home or in school, Tavion sometimes struggles to manage his emotions and can have a hard time expressing himself when things feel overwhelming. He needs a family who can stay calm, be patient, and help him through those tough moments with consistency and compassion.
With a family that understands trauma and is committed to helping him grow, Tavion has the potential to thrive. He would do best in a home with a mom and dad, two dads, or a single dad where he can be the only or youngest child, giving him the space to heal and feel secure. His future family should be experienced and trauma-informed, ready to support him with the services he needs. When asked about what he hopes for in a family, Tavion doesn’t hesitate: game nights, holidays together, and bike rides. He wants connection—real, steady, and joyful. He lights up thinking about celebrating Christmas, being with family, giving and receiving presents, and just having fun together. With the right support, Tavion’s warmth, humor, and big heart could truly flourish.
