About this Kid

JayVan is a talented video game player who aspires to become a streamer when he grows older. He is known as being easy to talk to, which would make him great at that job! He enjoys chatting about the details of the game or the latest skill he is mastering. But when he needs a break, JayVan enjoys shooting hoops on the basketball court or riding his bike around the neighborhood. Blue is his favorite color, and he doesn’t have a favorite animal but does like dogs. If he had to choose, he would prefer invisibility as a superpower. JayVan is respectful and gets along well with the adults in his life, and Soba and Ramen noodles are his favorite!

Math is this eighth grader’s best-loved subject.

JayVan would thrive in a home with a single mom living in an urban area; however, all family types will be considered. His caseworker notes that he would prefer an African American female parent. JayVan has significant connections to maintain following placement. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.
