Mark from Pennsylvania

Mark describes himself as intelligent and happy! Everyone who meets Mark would absolutely agree! Mark is sweet and caring with amazing resilience. Although he has faced many challenges in his life, he continues to overcome each challenge. Mark enjoys football and basketball and would love the chance to play with local team so he can continue to develop his skills in hopes to one day play in the NBA or NFL. He recently got brand new football gloves that are showcased in his photo! If he does not become a professional athlete, Mark would like to be a Zookeeper so he can care for the animals, particularly lions. Mark also likes cats and all other animals. When he is not playing basketball or football, Mark can be found coloring, drawing, reading, writing, and watching horror movies. Mark continues to work hard towards a positive future. Mark is still working towards his goals, and he would thrive with a dedicated and supportive forever family. If you are the family for Mark, be prepared to be a part of something wonderful and great. Mark's ideal forever family would have a mom and dad, but he is willing to explore all family compositions. He would prefer to live in a city and have siblings his age or older. Mark would like ANY type of pet, including a dog, cat, parrot, or turtle. His ideal forever family would honor and respect his religious beliefs and take him to church. Mark wants his forever family to know that he is smart and would like to play football and basketball. Parental rights have not been terminated for Mark.
