Photolisting Profile for Jaquintay

Jaquintay is a 12-year-old boy from Texas who is hoping to be adopted.

Jaquintay is a young boy who really prefers to play alone. He is happiest when he is playing his video games or with his action figures. He likes to go out to eat at McDonalds and to look around at Toys R Us. He struggles in school due to his lack of continuity with school attendance and his comprehension levels. He is working hard and has expressed an interest in the science club at school. Jaquintay is a very patient young boy. He is passive and will let other kids walk all over him; as he does not stand up for himself. He does not like confrontations.

Jaquintay and Samondre are very close to one another and must be placed together. They are not close in age but are so protective of each other. Jaquintay takes his "big Brother" role seriously. Both boys respond well to praise and rewards. They are patient, quiet and shy boys who play well alone or with others. Visit us at the Heart Gallery of North Texas.

Jaquintay and Samondre need a family willing to commit to them and to their needs. Both boys need extra attention with their school work. They also need to learn to not be so serious and to just enjoy being a kid. Their family will have to help them in this area, especially with Jacquintay as he is used to taking care of his brother. The boys will do well in a home with other kids or with just the two of them.
