Justin from Pennsylvania

Justin is an upbeat, charismatic young man with a contagious smile, a playful personality, and a heart that is deeply connected to his family. Justin is the kind of person who can bring laughter and positive energy into a room simply by being himself. He enjoys joking around, pulling harmless pranks on people he cares about, and making those around him smile. His warm and outgoing personality makes it easy to see how much he values connection and companionship. Justin values the people he loves and wants to feel surrounded by family, support, and people who genuinely care about him. A family considering Justin should understand that his relationships with his siblings are very important to him and should be prepared to encourage and support those connections. Justin is a huge sports fan, with basketball being his favorite. His wheelchair certainly does not stop him from enjoying the sport--or from showing off his competitive side! Justin enjoys friendly challenges and takes pride in his strong arm. When Justin is not talking about his family or sports, he enjoys music, food, and having fun. He loves R&B and Rap and enjoys singing along, dancing in his seat, and moving to the beat. His favorite foods include pizza and mac and cheese, and he has plenty of favorite snacks, including Doritos, Oreos, M&Ms, and Cheese Curls. Justin enjoys sharing laughs, being playful, and making everyday moments memorable. Justin would thrive with a family that provides consistent encouragement, structure, patience, and warmth while allowing him to be his outgoing and fun-loving self. He is open to different family types and would especially enjoy having a male sibling around his age, whether older or younger, with whom he could build a friendship and share everyday experiences. Justin enjoys being part of an active, connected household and would benefit from caregivers who recognize his strengths, encourage his independence, and make family relationships a priority. Justin has a big personality, a generous heart, and plenty of laughter to share. He is loving, confident, funny, and deeply family-oriented. Most importantly, Justin wants the people he loves to remain part of his life. A family who welcomes Justin will not only gain a fun-loving and energetic young man, but someone who will remind them just how meaningful family, connection, and togetherness can be. Parental rights have not been terminated for Justin.
