It’s hard not to laugh and smile when you spend time with Owen. Although he is soft-spoken, the teen is always quick with a joke and he hopes to find a family who will share some laughs with him.

When Owen isn’t making others laugh, he likes to play video games, but he truly shines when he can be creative. Not only does he like to draw and build with LEGOS, Owen is an origami wiz and enjoys making paper creations.

The high schooler hopes to one day have a career that allows him to “design cool things” and let his creativity shine. For now, he is happy to spend his time watching his favorite sports teams (the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Golden State Warriors, and the Pittsburg Steelers) and eating at his favorite restaurant – Olive Garden.

Owen can’t wait to find a forever family that is the right balance of structure and fun. Owen has tons of love to give and he can’t wait to receive the same. Owen is open to having older siblings in his forever home.
