Meet Anthony
Meet Anthony: a confident and kindhearted young man. Anthony, who prefers to go by Tony, is a dynamic and fun-loving young man who knows how to enjoy life and bring people together. When we asked him about his favorite memories, his answers revolved around spending time with people he cares about during a trip to North Carolina; specifically riding bikes, playing video games, tossing around a football, and having sleepovers. But don’t let those low-key activities fool you into thinking Tony is all about the chill! He’s also a big fan of adventure and loves roller coasters, making Cedar Point his dream destination for a school field trip. The thrill of twists, turns, and high speeds matches his energetic and upbeat personality.
Tony is a practical thinker, recognizing the value of education. He sees homework as a helpful tool to build a brighter future. Tony says his friends would describe him as “cool.” We concur and would add another ‘c’ adjective – confident.

Meet Kakashi
Saying Kakashi likes flags is a bit akin to saying stars come out at night. OK, so his “banner benevolence” isn’t quite that obvious. But Kakashi does love his flags, all 50 or more of them from different countries throughout the world. Kakashi loves anything related to water – kayaking, swimming, watching the fountain at the park, playing in the water table at the children’s museum and playing in the rain, to name a few. Kakashi also loves music; he has an old phone with a music app and he is constantly listening to his favorite songs.

Meet Logan
Logan is a cheerful and playful boy who brings joy to those around him. He enjoys dancing, taking walks, going to the beach, and watching freighters and coast guard helicopters pass by. He loves spending time with people who make him laugh and enjoys joking around once he feels comfortable. Though he can be shy at first, he warms up quickly to those who approach him with kindness.
An adult close to him describe him as “a sweetheart who is generally happy and easygoing.” He responds well to structure and benefits from a predictable routine, but he can handle changes when things are more relaxed, such as on weekends or school breaks. Logan engages well in his services, listens to directions, and can be redirected when needed. He enjoys school and has positive relationships with his teachers.
Animals bring out Logan’s gentle side. He loves both dogs and cats and enjoys petting and playing with them. His curiosity and love of movement keep him active, though he may need reminders to slow down during certain activities.
Logan will do best with a family who can provide stability and care. A two-parent household is preferred, though a single parent with a strong support system of family, friends, and community resources will also be considered. An adoptive family should be knowledgeable about or open to learning how to care for Logan and be willing to advocate for Logan’s services and needs as he continues to grow.
