About Stephen
Stephen enjoys playing sports but not necessarily the struggles that rivalries bring. “Stephen absolutely loves football and basketball but would rather play for fun versus in a competition or on a team,” explains one of his close adults. In other words, you can sign him up for a recreational game. And speaking of recreation, Stephen likes other outdoor activities such as swimming and riding bikes. When he’s indoors, he likes playing video games, building things with Legos and listening to music. Stephen also takes an interest in Pokémon cards as well as solving puzzles. Of all the holidays, Stephen enjoys Christmas the most because of the gift exchanges. He also says he’d like to visit the North Pole because “I want to see what it would be like.” On his list of favorite things, Stephen includes blue for color, dogs and cats for animal and vanilla ice cream for food. One of Stephen’s biggest wishes is “to be adopted.” Among other things, he hopes he and his new forever family will enjoy traveling together.
According to one of his close adults, “Stephen is a very smart, strong-willed and caring boy. Stephen absolutely loves to learn new things and help around the house with different chores or tasks. He describes himself as a smart, caring and helpful kid.”
Stephen would do best with two experienced and trauma-informed parents. He also would do best as the only or youngest child in his new family. Stephen’s new parents must make sure he receives the services that will help him function at his best. Finally, his new family must be open to letting Stephen maintain his sibling relationships.
