About Kadyn
Kadyn is the kind of kid who notices the small details—the glossy finish of a new basketball card, the perfect balance of seasoning in his favorite bowl of ramen, or the way a fresh pair of sneakers can make you walk a little taller. Whether he’s outside shooting hoops, flipping through his card collection, or wandering the aisles of a store on a weekend shopping trip, Kadyn finds joy in the everyday. One of his favorite ways to unwind after school is by heading outside or looking through his cards, especially anything featuring Michael Jordan—his all-time favorite player. He enjoys riding his bike and skateboarding when hanging out with friends and values time spent with the people he cares about. Holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and his birthday are especially meaningful to Kadyn because they give him time to be surrounded by friends, family, and tradition. Even school holidays rank high on his list, he enjoys having time off to reset and do the things he likes most.
Kadyn is drawn to history and likes learning about how the world came to be. He also enjoys doing his part at home, helping with dishes, laundry, and taking out the trash. He’s made progress in many areas of his life and takes pride in how he’s able to bounce back when things get tough. That ability to keep going, especially when things don’t go according to plan, speaks volumes about his strength. “Kadyn is very caring and has a desire to advocate for himself,” says an adult close to him. “He is outspoken, inquisitive, and thrives on structure and routine.” Looking ahead, Kadyn imagines working at a shoe store someday, maybe at a place like Nike or Footlocker. It’s a fitting goal for someone who enjoys both fashion and interacting with others. If he had three wishes, they’d be simple but honest: to be with family, have a lot of money, and enjoy an ice-cold Dr. Pepper.
When Kadyn thinks about a forever family, what matters most is connection. He wants to be where his people are because to him, family means belonging. He hopes to share time outdoors, play basketball together, and maybe even go shopping from time to time. Kadyn would do best in a two-parent home with adults who are experienced, trauma informed, and ready to support him in the ways that matter most. He’s open to having siblings as long as they’re older than him. He would thrive in a family that shares his love for animals, especially cats, dogs, or guinea pigs. What Kadyn needs most is a family that sees his resilience, appreciates his interests, and offers the kind of steady encouragement that will help him continue growing into himself.
