Jamil is an expressive, charismatic, determined boy. Jamil's favorite colors are blue, orange, and burgundy. He loves playing video games. With encouragement, he does do well in school; his favorite subject is math, and he takes a special interest in science and how it relates to the world around him. In fact, his role models are Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King Jr. Jamil loves to show off his smooth side and loves to listen to R&B music. His favorite R&B artist is the popular musician, Drake, as he says he has the perfect blend of R&B and Rap. He enjoys watching movies and his favorites are ?Spy Kids? and the classic ?Space Jam.? Jamil is a sports fanatic and loves to play all sports and has an interest in learning to play soccer and lacrosse. Sports are a positive outlet for Jamil and any family would need to support and encourage this. As such, he wants to be a professional basketball player when he grows up. Although he is competitive on the court and loves to win, he is a self-described team player. Jamil longs to be adopted and wants to build his starting line up! Jamil is open to two parent households but is willing to consider a single male household. He loves all dogs and would love to have a perfect furry friend to grow up with. Jamil would do best in a home with a seasoned foster parent and a strong male presence that could be patient with him and has firm boundaries as he responds well to structure, rules, and being able to earn electronics. Parental rights have been terminated for Jamil.
