Whether it's a one or two-parent home, Deyshawn needs a family who understands his emotional needs. Deyshawn can challenge redirection, so he needs a structured home environment and well-defined expectations. Deyshawn has an older sibling who is placed with relatives whom he has had contact. It will be beneficial if an adoptive family is open to helping him maintain contact with his sibling.
