Juan

Meet Juan, he is a one-of a kind child in need of a permanent home. Juan was born December of 1995 and is of Latino decent. Juan is enthusiastic, spontaneous and so fun to be around! He needs to be watched with his food intake sometimes because he likes to eat fast. Juan does say though, that he doesn’t really like spinach. Juan loves positive feedback and he will do whatever it takes to please you and have a happy relationship with you. He is such an affectionate little boy that you will be hugged and kissed beyond your expectations.

He likes to help around the house with some chores like keeping toys organized. Juan really loves Dodger figurines and super hero figurines. He also loves cheese including cheeseburgers, cheese quesadillas, and macaroni and cheese. Juan is currently attending school and is doing well. He enjoys interacting with others and is easy to engage.

Juan needs a home that will provide structure and help him build positive self-image. His permanent family will need to work with him in dealing with his guarded prognosis. He currently has an inactive brain tumor that is affecting the right side of his face. The right side of his face tends to droop and he currently has a glass eye. He will require continuous medical appointments to assess the tumor growth. Juan is diagnosed with ADHD and is currently on medication, which helps him, focus on tasks better. Otherwise, Juan will be a positive addition to your family, any child will call themselves lucky to have Juan become their little or older brother.
