Marquavion from Texas

Marquavion, or Mark, is a very active and expressive youth who really likes basketball, riding his bike, and playing on his electric guitar. He bonds with his caregivers strongly over time and family is very important to him. He wants very much to have a forever family. Mark experiences some challenges, especially in school, where he has found math particularly difficult and frustrating. However, he is now is doing well. Mark makes friends readily and enjoys being physically active, whether playing alone or with others. He can be protective of children around him whom he perceives to be vulnerable. While he may act without thinking at times, he is able to reflect afterward and understand his circumstances and the consequences of his actions both for himself and others. Visit me at the The Heart Gallery of Central Texas.

Mark will be most successful with mature parents who can be consistently supportive, outgoing, flexible, structured, and who will help him maintain the important relationships with his siblings. Mark remains closely bonded with his siblings, who are not part of this adoption. He would like a family who lives in close proximity in order to maintain contact with them.
