Introduction

Josiah has been described as a kind, friendly and funny boy who loves to care for animals. In addition Josiah enjoys watching TV, playing video games, especially Roblox and is a talented and creative artist who has a fascination with superheroes. His favorites are Sonic, Spider man and the Ninja Turtles. He can be shy when he first meets someone new but can quickly warm up to them.

In the 6th grade he attends a social skills group in school weekly to help him develop his social strengths.  He also receives assistance in school for math. He has made great progress academically this past school year. Not a fan of sports or being outside he does enjoy swimming, playing on his tablet and eating "good" food such as "pancakes with extra maple syrup". Josiah currently lives in a 2 parent foster home with no other children.  He does very well with the one-on-one attention given to him as an only child.  Josiah has a strong bond with his foster mom and she describes him as a "joy to be around". In school Josiah has a positive relationship with all his teachers and his classmates. 

Josiah would do well in most  family constellations where he would be the only child and receive much one-on-one attention, structure and have a consistent home routine. He loves pets, especially cats, and would like his own black cat someday. Josiah has a name picked out already for his cat.  He wants his cat's name to be "Shadow". Josiah is very close to his siblings and will need his new family to help him stay connected to them regularly.  New York and New England families will all be considered for Josiah.
