Josiah

Age: 10 Years Old
LSF – 109542953

Thank you for your interest in adopting a child with moderate to severe therapeutic or medical needs featured on the Gulf Coast JFCS Heart Gallery.

Josiah is an energetic and vibrant African American boy with a passion for sports, especially soccer and football. His favorite teams to cheer for are the Miami Dolphins and the Minnesota Vikings. Whether he’s tossing a football, swimming, or kicking a soccer ball, Josiah comes alive when he’s outdoors, soaking up the sunshine and staying active. He also enjoys playing video games, which give him another fun way to engage and unwind. One of his biggest dreams is to have a dog, as he loves animals and would enjoy having a furry companion to share adventures with.

Beyond his athletic side, Josiah has a creative and intelligent soul. He loves painting and drawing, often using bold, vibrant colors to express his imagination. He’s also developed a strong interest in cooking and enjoys helping out in the kitchen, learning new recipes, and experimenting with flavors. Josiah is currently in the fifth grade and participates in his school’s gifted program, where he continues to excel academically and take pride in his accomplishments.

One of Josiah’s favorite things is his growing shoe collection. He loves cool sneakers and has lots of pairs that reflect his fun and stylish personality.

When he thinks about his future family, Josiah hopes for a home with both a mom and a dad. He would prefer to be the only child in the household so he can receive the attention and support he needs to thrive. He also hopes to stay in Florida, where he can continue enjoying sports, outdoor activities, and the warm weather he loves so much.

Josiah needs a family who can provide structure, support, and unconditional love. The Heart Gallery is currently only accepting home studies with no other children in the household to ensure Josiah receives the focused attention and care he deserves. He’s looking for a forever family who will celebrate his passions, nurture his growth, and be by his side every step of the way.
