Juan from Pennsylvania

Juan is a happy young man. He always has a smile and will wave ?hi? when you say hello to him. He does well occupying himself and enjoys spending time both inside and outside. When he is inside, he likes to listen to music and loves to play on a computer or tablet. He likes most of the games on his tablet, especially the TV game shows, but his favorite thing to do is watch and listen to The Price is Right. Juan also enjoys watching shows or movies on his tablet and prefers this over going to the movies. When he is outside, he enjoys going on rides, walks, or any kind of physical activity. He specifically likes activities that involve some sort of ball, but his top choice is basketball. Juan also enjoys going to the zoo. Juan is the opposite of a picky eater; he loves to eat. Do not let him fool you. If it seems like he wants to help cook, he actually just prefers to eat the ingredients. Some of his favorite foods include pizza, chicken wings, fries, and spaghetti. Juan is not a fan of changes; he prefers schedules and consistency. If he gets overstimulated, he responds well to redirection and to introducing a new activity or going outside on a walk. Juan's team believes he could benefit from either a one or two parent household of either gender, as he gets along well with both males and females. Juan typically does not initiate relationships but on occasion, he will play with others. Due to Juan's age, termination of parental rights is not required in order for adoption to occur.
