HI! My name is Xavier.
“I love talking to adults.”

Let me tell you more about myself…
Someday, I’d like to work with kids.

And here’s what others say…
Xavier is an interesting, talkative and active African American and Latino teenager who is a joy to have around. He is a bit shy and reserved at first, but opens up and lets his engaging personality shine once he has time to warm up. Thirteen years old, Xavier likes to keep busy by playing sports, especially basketball and football. Xavier also enjoys adventurous activities such as camping, kayaking, and hiking. He recently tried climbing on a rock wall and loved it. Xavier is a mature and intuitive teen who shows insight into his life. When talking about finding a permanent family, Xavier recently explained that he wants a family because he knows that he wouldn’t be able to make it on his own. He currently lives with a foster family with whom he gets along well. Xavier responds positively to his foster father’s patience and willingness to talk through problems. He, like many teens, is beginning to seek out more freedom and hopes to find an understanding family who will let him work towards gaining more independence. Xavier attends a therapeutic day school where he is on target academically and benefits from behavioral supports. Though school is not one of Xavier’s favorite things, he has the potential to do well when motivated. He enjoys participating in the summer program at school and has made friends there. Xavier is an engaging youngster who will certainly bring a lot of joy to a permanent family. He hopes to find a family who will let him be active in organized activities, as well as in the neighborhood. He would do well with a single or two-parent family, with or without other children, who will provide him a home filled with love, consistency and understanding.

If I could have my own special wish…
I would find a permanent family really soon.
