Josiah age 8.
Friendly Josiah is greatly anticipating being adopted and having a stable, loving family of his own. This kind kid loves to ride his bike but one of his greatest passions is for football! Josiah is a people person and likes to mingle with those he meets. He is very adaptable and is a fun boy to be around. Josiah is currently attending the third grade. He is benefiting from counseling, which will need to continue after placement. A nurturing home that can prove to be caring and secure is what Josiah needs most. This young guy is waiting for a forever family who can offer him the great home he deserves. It is very important to Josiah that his forever family be supportive of contact and visitation with his biological siblings.
