About Colton
When Colton steps onto the basketball court in his backyard, it’s more than just a game—it’s a glimpse into the future he’s building for himself, one determined shot at a time. Whether he’s playing a quick round of kickball with friends or spiking a volleyball outside of school, Colton finds energy and purpose in staying active and being part of something fun. He’s got big dreams—like joining a basketball team in high school and one day becoming an architect—and he’s not afraid to put in the work to get there. Colton thrives when there’s structure and clear expectations, and he responds well to encouragement and recognition for his efforts. He takes pride in handling his responsibilities around the house, from sweeping the floors and cleaning the kitchen to making his bed each morning. That same sense of pride shines through when he talks about learning how to manage his emotions, sharing that he’s most proud of learning coping techniques for his big feelings. It’s a reflection of his resilience and willingness to grow, especially in environments where he feels supported and seen.
With a quick sense of humor and a love for silly jokes, Colton brings his own kind of light to the room. An adult close to him says, “He has a lot of love to give, he is funny, determined, and able to express himself.” He has a strong personality, a sharp mind for math, and a love for holidays, especially the ones that come with plenty of good food. Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving top his list, mostly because, in his words, he loves to “munch on all the food.” If he could go anywhere in the world, he’d choose Texas, drawn to the idea of warmth, sunshine, and maybe a taste of the life he’s imagining for himself. Colton is the kind of kid who notices what he wants, whether it’s a new video game, a future with fast cars, or simply time spent laughing with others, and moves toward it with focus.
He dreams big, speaks his mind, and values the connections he builds with others. Colton envisions a home with a single mom or two moms, caregivers who are experienced and can offer both structure and encouragement. He would like to be part of a family with other kids to play and grow alongside. While having pets would be a bonus, it’s a chance to live in a rural setting, where he can spend time outdoors and stay active, that really appeals to him. In a home that balances patience with playfulness, and structure with understanding, Colton has the space to thrive. What he hopes for in a forever family is simple but meaningful: to laugh together, share good food, take trips, and enjoy life’s everyday adventures. For a boy with determination in his stride and warmth in his heart, that sounds like a future worth building.
