Description

Joshua enjoys playing outside with his brother. He likes basketball, but also likes playing video games inside. He enjoys a good board game, and is up for a challenge. He interacts well with his peers, and has made good progress in his ability to get along with others. He is attending the 7th grade, and requires assistance with his reading. Joshua takes medication to help him with his mood and behaviors, and to help him stay on task. He is somewhat leary of moving to another home, and will need time and understanding to transition. He is open at this point to discussing an adoptive placement.

Joseph and Joshua are close brothers, who have lived together all their lives. They interact in typical ways, and will argue and fuss, but defend each other. They enjoy playing outside together, including playing basketball and swinging. Both Joseph and Josh are afraid of moving to an adoptive home, and will need a lot of understanding and patience. They also have continued contact with their grandparents, which has been beneficial and will need to continue. Joseph and Josh have difficulty interacting with peers, and also experience problems in their school setting. Both boys receive special education services, with modifications to accommodate their learning difficulties and behavioral challenges.
