Shanique from Pennsylvania

Shanique is a witty, funny, kind-hearted teenager who is a joy to know! He has an infectious smile and a fun-loving personality that draws people to him. He enjoys playing video games and basketball, riding his bike, and watching Marvel movies, especially his favorite, "Black Panther." He loves to cheer on the LA Lakers and Brooklyn Nets basketball teams and dreams of seeing a live game one day. He'd love a family who enjoys family dinners, movie nights, and trips together, such as to the beach or amusement parks. It is also important to him that families do their best to keep their promises. Shanique does well in school; his favorite subjects are math, reading, and gym. He aspires to attend college to become an accountant or a professional basketball player. He admires his favorite basketball players: Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Joe Harris, and hopes to grow up to be like any of them. His ideal forever family would be caring, patient, and supportive. He would thrive with a single parent or a traditional two-parent family with siblings close to his age or older and pets! He has sibling connections that are very important to him; he would like his forever family to support him with maintaining those connections. Parental rights have been terminated for Shanique.
