Sing me a song and you’ll see a big smile appear on my face – I would love nothing more than listening to the songs you will sing to me! I am a happy little one who likes to giggle, laugh and make adorable sounds. While I do not have many words, I will mimic some noises and will have babbling conversations with you.

| Sam lives for music and wants to be a YouTuber one day. He enjoys helping others and finds joy in making his caregivers proud and happy. Like many twelve-year-olds, Sam enjoys video games and spending time with his siblings. |
Sam is working hard and learning and growing every day. His speech has come a long way, and he recently started in a small school that is suited to his learning needs. Sam learns best when given breaks to spend time on activities based on his strengths and interests. When given a task he enjoys, Sam is focused and learns effectively. |
| Relationships are important to Sam – especially his relationship with his brother. Sam has regular visits with his brother and his father, and expresses that it is important to him to continue these connections after he is adopted. |
Sam benefits from clear routines and expectations. He needs reminders and calm support to help him through his day, and does best with short, clear explanations. Sam processes information differently than other tweens his age and benefits from guidance as he continues to develop his effective emotion regulation and communication skills. |
| Sam is open to families of different make-ups who are patient, understanding, and consistent. He would do best as the only child in the home, or the youngest by several years. Building trust is important to Sam, and he is looking for parents who can be calm and supportive and help him feel calm when he feels overwhelmed. Sam desires a safe, supporting environment where his needs can be met, and he can be championed to be the best version of himself. |
