Leon from Texas

Leon is a very smart boy. He loves to talk and ask a lot of questions to get a clear understanding. He loves figuring things out and likes to take on challenging tasks. Leon is developmentally on target. He enjoys sports, preferably football and basketball. Even though he enjoys video games, he also likes to do outdoor activities. He especially likes to swim. Leon likes to listen to music and doesn't mind sharing a tune of his own. He likes playing with other children his age and typically interacts well with them. He requires patience and frequent prompts when moving to a new environment or having a significant change in his schedule. He is strong minded, determined, and dynamic. Like many teens his age, he sometimes needs reminders to keep up with his daily chores.

Leon, Leondra, and Prentice are three loving children who love each other and help care for each other. The children have been together for the most part and only in recent years they have been separated. Throughout it all, their main focus has been the safety and well-being of each other. They have kept in contact with each other no matter their geographical barriers. Leon is the oldest and his role as the oldest is very evident because he is the protector of his younger sibling. Leondra is the leader. She's very outspoken and gives the boys their instructions. Prentice is the creative/business-minded sibling. All three siblings truly look forward to being together with a family who will help them launch into adulthood with all the wonder and glory they can muster.

Leon's forever family will provide him with structure, boundaries, and accountability. He will do best with a family that has experience with trauma. Additionally, the family should be able to handle behaviors in a calm manner.
