This 8 Year Old Massachusetts Boy is Looking For a Family

Meet Xavien

Xavien is a happy and active 8 year old boy who loves sports, outdoor activities, drawing, and singing. He also enjoys reading, playing with fidgets, and collecting Pokemon cards.

A Caring And Thoughtful Personality

He is viewed by others as helpful and caring and may appear shy when you first meet him, but once he becomes comfortable, he quickly becomes verbal and talkative.

Support And School Life

Currently in the second grade, he receives social and emotional support to help provide structure and routine. He gets along well with his classmates, yet he is also comfortable entertaining himself.

What Kind Of Family Would Be A Good Fit

Xavien is free for adoption, and most family types will be considered. He will need a highly structured home environment with a consistent routine. The transition into his new home may take time and will depend on Xavien’s sense of security and comfort.

Where Families Can Be Located

Families from New England and New York will be considered.
