About Elijah
Elijah is a video game connoisseur who wants to play as many games as possible. Playing video games are his favorite thing to do on the weekends and when hanging out with friends. He particularly enjoys Mario video games. Who can blame him? Mario games are classic! But there’s more to Elijah than just playing video games. Elijah is a very talented mathematician. In fact, it’s his favorite subject in school. Elijah is also skilled in coloring, and you can expect to find him doing that after school. Elijah’s perfect food is pretty straightforward: a cheesy, hot pizza. In addition to playing video games with his friends, Elijah enjoys watching videos and movies, and playing basketball or football with them. Lions' fans, don’t be upset, but Elijah might be a Cincinnati Bengals fan since tigers are his favorite animal. Did you grow up playing games like “Super Mario Bros.?” Do you enjoy playing video games in general? Elijah could be the superstar you’re looking for to join your family.
All that glitters is in fact gold, his favorite color, when it comes to Elijah because he’s a great kid with a lot to offer. “Elijah is shy;” says an adult close to him. “However, he loves to make new friends who can become very friendly and talkative once he is comfortable in his environment. Elijah is helpful and is willing to assist anyone in need.”
Elijah would do best in a one or two parent home. He will need experienced and trauma-informed parents who are patient and understanding. Elijah gets along with children of any age, but he can also thrive as an only child so, there is no preference on other children in the home. He will be great either way! A home with pets would be preferred because “Elijah loves animals, especially dogs.” Ultimately, Elijah wants to be loved by a family who will support him and allow him to maintain his sibling relationships.
