About Tyler
Tyler is an energetic and spirited 16-year-old African American child. He can be sweet and enjoys praise, compliments, and positive attention. Tyler plays well with other children at school and has shared that he has friends. He feels he is good at math and video games, and he has strong communication skills. Tyler can be friendly, active, independent, and very expressive. He enjoys playing, interacting with peers and caregivers, and participating in activities typical for youth his age.
Tyler can advocate for his needs when necessary and continues to show strength and perseverance despite the transitions he has experienced. Although Tyler can be friendly, he is often selective when building relationships. Tyler would benefit from a patient, structured, and nurturing family that can provide consistency, clear expectations, and strong emotional support. An ideal family would understand trauma and offer guidance while respecting his independence.
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.
