Justin is a cheerful Caucasian 10 year old who is always smiling. Justin has an easy-going personality, and works towards overcoming the obstacles he encounters with enthusiasm. Justin has significant global developmental delays, with limited mobility on his left side. Justin has limited speech, but one look into his eyes tells people he comprehends a great deal. He benefits from the involvement of various services, including occupational, physical, speech and medical specialists to aid him in his progress.

Justin loves participating in activities in his school program. He loves to listen to music, riding his adaptive bicycle, playing on the swing set, swimming, or taking a stroll outside. Justin enjoys most of these activates with specialized supports.

Justin is legally freed for adoption, and due to his needs, his social worker is looking for a dedicated two-parent family, with no other children or with much older children. A family with room in their hearts and lives to support Justin and his needs into adulthood. This optimistic and amazing little boy has much love to give and is looking for a family who can return that love and shower him with hugs, kisses, and attention.
