About Ian
Ian is a 12-year-old sweet, responsible, and polite young boy with a gentle spirit and a bright smile. While naturally quiet, shy, and reserved around larger crowds, he really opens up in smaller groups and displays a lively energy… especially around other children. Ian forms positive friendships easily and gets along well with peers. He loves to be outside and likes playing football, but he also enjoys shopping and going to restaurants. Ian is optimistic and communicates his wants and needs clearly, though he may experience some anxiety around schedule changes, tardiness, and securing basic needs like food and material belongings. When trying new things or when feeling overwhelmed, he may show nervousness or frustration, but he is never physically aggressive and will respond well to calm reassuring prompts. With a supportive, predictable environment, Ian will thrive and his personality will shine.

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.
