Jayvon (15)

Meet Jayvon (b. in November 2010), an active youngster who enjoys outdoor riding his bike and skateboarding. Due to the many challenges he has faced, Javon struggles in dealing with his feelings and needs. He has, however, made improvements and has been working hard at finding ways to express himself and channel his energy in positive ways.

Jayvon has a great sense of humor, he is funny, athletic and smart. Jayvon is longing for a connection and a sense of belonging that can come through by being adopted. If you believe your family is able and willing to support Jayvon with consistency, structure and loving patience as he journeys through life. Photo Credit: Will Edwards

Marcos (15)

Marcos is a warrior by nature! Marcos was born prematurely in October of 2010 at 26 weeks gestation. He has dealt with multiple complex medical issues that require a high degree of specialized care and feedings through a gastrostomy tube (G-tube). Marcos is benefitting from Regional Center Services. Despite Marcos’ many medical and developmental challenges, he is a loving boy with a great deal of potential.

Marcos has a positive personality and is comfortable around people who are familiar to him. He really enjoys watching movies and listening to music on his iPad. He will regularly hum his favorite songs and move to the beat of the music. He expresses himself by making eye contact and making head movements. Marcos uses a walker and leg braces for support while walking and exploring his surroundings.

If making Marcos part of your family and holding him close while providing for his special needs is something you believe you can do, please let us know. We want to see Marcos victorious in finding an adoptive family! Photo Credit: Peter Christiansen Valli
