Octavius

Octavius 4108A

Octavius is a bright, athletic African American male born 10/98. Naturally curious, he enjoys learning and does well in school where he is in a regular classroom setting. Octavius is actively involved in his current school through participation in sports. He plays football and basketball and runs track. Octavius’ goal is to attend college and he hopes an athletic scholarship will help him achieve this goal. An open and honest youth, Octavius feels content in his current living situation and school placement but he is tempted by the prospect of his very own permanent family. An active family, who is willing to support and further Octavius’ pursuit of his athletic and academic goals, is sought. A family receptive to Octavius maintaining contact with a sibling placed separately is desired.

Yusannah

Yusannah 4055A

Yusannah, an African American female born 2/96, is hopeful she will find an active adoptive family that will love being involved in her busy life! As a member of the school choir, Yusannah particularly enjoyed the choir’s occasional concert performances. Building on these experiences, Yusannah seized the opportunity to attend a performing arts summer camp where she excelled in singing and dancing in the camp show. Yusannah also likes to make jewelry, go for a swim or out for the occasional shopping expedition. Currently requiring supportive services educationally, Yusannah’s long-term goals include either cosmetology or early childhood education. A family able to provide Yusannah with the supervision and guidance she will need to enable her to move toward independence and self-sufficiency is sought.

Devan

Devan 4077A

Devan is a Caucasian male born 2/99 who enjoys the challenge of a good video or board game. He also likes to help his foster family work in the yard and loves to care for the family cat. Devan is on grade level in school but is more comfortable playing with younger children. He needs a family that ensures he continues to receive tutoring and counseling services to address issues stemming from a troubling past. Devan’s adoptive family will also need to support him in maintaining contact with siblings placed separately.
