Like many teens, Jason likes to connect with others and make new friends and he often does so through his love of basketball, football, video games, and anime. Jason is also inquisitive and likes to learn new facts and skills through his peers and school.

Jason is sensitive and open with his feelings. He does best one-on-one and would like a family where one parent can be consistently present when he is not in school. Jason does have relationships with his birth family that he would like to continue after adoption and looks forward to finding a family that will make him feel like he belongs and provides unconditional love.
