About Laemont
If you want to see Laemont light up, ask him about his favorite video game. He can tell you about the worlds he builds, the adventures he creates, and the way he gets to make something entirely his own. That same sense of imagination and determination shows up in other parts of his life too, whether he’s drawing superheroes, racing cars on his track, or heading outside for a game of football with friends. Laemont describes himself as someone who likes to joke around and make people laugh and so do those who know him best. “Laemont has a good sense of humor and likes to joke around with others,” says an adult close to him. His humor, paired with his love of being active and social, makes him fun to be around. He enjoys weekends filled with video games, outdoor play, and outings with friends, and he’s proud of the skills he has developed in gaming. When it comes to helping out, he contributes by cleaning his room and taking out the trash, showing that he values being responsible at home.
Holidays hold a special place in Laemont’s heart, especially Christmas morning when he can open presents and enjoy new toys. If he could go anywhere in the world, he could choose Florida so he could visit Disney World, a place that matches his love for adventure, fun, and exploration. “Laemont is determined, motivated to do things independently, and seeks out social interactions with others,” says an adult close to him. Laemont shares that his wishes for himself include becoming a better person, being kinder to people, and remembering to take breaks when he feels frustrated. These goals show how thoughtful he can be about his own growth. That degree of personal responsibility will come in handy for his future goal of becoming a security officer.
The family that would be the best fit for Laemont will be experienced, supportive, and prepared to help him access the services he needs to thrive. It will be important that they encourage his connections with siblings and give him space to shine as the only or youngest child in the home. Laemont hopes to share simple joys with a forever family, playing outside together, laughing at silly moments, and maybe even welcoming a dog into their lives. For the right family, Laemont offers creativity, humor, and a big heart. He’s building his own future, one step at a time, and he’s looking for a family who wants to be part of that adventure.
