About Tristian
Tristian is the kind of kid who notices the little things, like the smell of spaghetti in the kitchen, the satisfaction of cleaning a room until it shines, or the way a good book can pull you into another world. On weekends, you might find him at the library, checking out something new to read, or curled up watching funny cat videos that make him laugh until he’s out of breath. He’s polite, kind, and deeply thoughtful, a teenager who cares a lot about the people around him, even if he doesn’t show it right away. At home, Tristian pitches in with sweeping, cooking, and even cleaning bathrooms. He finds calm in familiar routines, coming home from school, taking a nap, and diving into a video game. He loves to cook and dreams of becoming a chef or an EMT one day. For now, he’s proud of knowing how to build circuits and of the strength he sees in someone special, who put their health first. He’s got a red-hot favorite color, a soft spot for dogs, and an adventurous streak—if he could travel anywhere, he’d head to Africa or The Bahamas to swim and see wild animals up close.
Tristian enjoys math and healthy living skills at school, and he’s interested in exploring faith and spirituality. He’d like to go to church more often and more about different religions. Though he’s not in any clubs or groups right now, he’s open to trying new things with the right support. With friends, he enjoys time at the arcade or playing video games—and with a future family, he hopes to spend time going on trips, playing catch, sharing board games, and just being together. Those who know Tristian describe him as funny, loyal, and incredibly strong-willed. “He strives to have a good life with a loving family who will provide him with support and stability,” says an adult close to him. He can make others laugh and tends to get along with peers, though he’s still learning how to manage big emotions when things feel overwhelming. When he does have a tough moment, he’s able to reflect on his actions and talk through what happened with honesty and accountability, skills that show his maturity and desire to grow.
Tristian would do best in a two-parent home, ideally with a mom and dad, who are experienced, consistent, and ready to walk alongside him through the teenage years. He’ll need caregivers who are open to using community resources, staying connected to support systems, and being proactive about his needs. He could benefit from a home with cultural similarities but it’s not a necessity. Most importantly, Tristian needs a family who sees his heart, believes in his potential, and is ready to offer the steady, loving home he’s been waiting for. He’s ready to meet his forever family, one that wants to laugh with him, learn with him, and stand by him as he builds the future he deserves.
