About Jerell
Jerell is an adorable 17-year-old African American youth. He describes himself as creative, artistic, understanding, and intelligent. He can be shy, but he is always respectful and has great manners, using “sir” and “ma’am” when responding to adults. Jerell loves playing video games, and his dream is to play professional soccer overseas. His short-term goals include getting a job to become more self-sufficient and graduating from high school. Jerell considers himself an average student. His favorite subject is English, and his least favorite subject is history. He is currently enrolled in a program to help him obtain his driver’s license and is excited about this opportunity. Jerell wants to be adopted and would thrive in either a one- or two-parent household. He has no siblings and has no contact with family. He is seeking a meaningful connection that may lead to finding his forever family.
On July 1, 2024, Florida enacted a new law (often referred to as the Permanency for Children law) that limits public access to images of children in the state’s foster care system, particularly those up for adoption. The state wants to be cautious as to who can see and potentially have access to youth’s info. Only approved, background-checked adoptive families can view photos.
