John
Age: 15
Race: White or Caucasian
John is a very sweet, happy, personable, funny, compassionate, and loving young man! He enjoys being outdoors, playing football, and playing video games. He also loves building complex things out of Lego. John is well liked by adults at his school. He constantly wants to figure out his life situations and next steps for his life.
John seeks out consistent love, attention, and affection. He seeks reassurance that he is pleasing the adult figures in his life. His adoptive family will need to be open in their displays of affection and be able to provide one-on-one attention to him. John would do well in a variety of different family types, though he would do best in a family who has a comprehensive understanding of how trauma impacts child development. His family will also need to be committed to maintaining his relationship with his younger sisters.
