Thirteen-year-old Joshua loves to stay busy. Whether it’s playing flag football, hitting up an arcade, or going for a swim, the teen is always on the go.

Joshua’s energy is only matched by his equally outgoing personality. He’s never met a stranger and he’s very infrequently without a smile. He likes to learn about other people and it’s even better if he finds someone he can crack jokes with!

As much as he likes to have fun, Joshua is serious about school. At first, he’ll joke and say his favorite subjects are lunch and recess but quickly follows it with his real answer – math. Joshua says he likes all his teachers and enjoys going to school.

Joshua says his perfect day would include swimming, eating ice cream, and listening to Michael Jackson. He hopes to find a two-parent home that can complete his dream day. Joshua says he’s open to having siblings or being an only child. He does love dogs and wouldn’t mind having a family pet in his forever home.

Joshua says he wants his forever family to know he is very helpful and notices when people are in need. Oh, and he can do flips underwater.
