He loves to tell a good joke here and there and he especially loves to make others laugh. His goofiness and jovial personality will never fail to bring a smile to your face. Martelis can be quite shy when you first meet him but once he opens up to you, you’ll feel like you have the entire world.

Although Martelis has been through a lot, he still has high hopes for a successful and happy future.

An adult close to Martelis describes him as, “extremely resilient. He never seems to let things get him down for long. He tends to let negative things go and move on from them.”
Martelis will need a family who is patient with him as he is adjusting to his adoption plan. He would do well in a two parent household, but a single parent with a strong support system would be considered. His parents would need to be experienced and trauma informed. Martelis should be the only or youngest child in the family. Finally, Martelis will need a family that is supportive of him, continuing relationships that are important to him.
