About this Kid

Look out, NBA, this teen has his sights set and is coming for you! Meet Jadyn, a young man who lives and breathes basketball. He’ll readily admit that playing basketball and running are some of his best talents. If he had the choice of any superpower, he would certainly choose super speed to improve his playing time. However, dribbling, shooting, passing, and even just the smell of the court are all things he loves about the game. Jadyn can come across as tough, but is known as funny and goofy by those who know him best. He loves to chat and can talk with anyone he meets. He believes tigers are the fiercest and coolest animals on the planet, and red and blue are his favorite colors. When he gets hungry, any kind of classic fast food, such as McDonald’s and Burger King, is sure to put a smile on his face. Jadyn knows how to apply himself and how to pursue what he wants.

He does well in school as an eighth grader, and gym is his favorite subject.

Jadyn would do best in a home with a mom and a dad, or a single dad. A home in an urban area is preferred; however, his caseworker will consider all family types. He has significant connections to maintain following placement. Financial assistance may be available for adoption-related services.

For Missouri children, both home-studied and non-home-studied Missouri families are encouraged to inquire; only home-studied families from other states should do so.
