Gavin , 17 , is an outgoing person . He likes to be with friends and hang out and talk . He is in his school ’ s band , can play piano , and is learning to drum . He is dedicated to his music , loves to share videos of his performances , and hopes to someday be able to be a professional musician . If that fails , he ’ d like to be a mechanic and maybe build a dealership up from the ground level ! For fun , he enjoys playing football . Gavin also enjoys playing video games and watching movies . He would like a mom and dad and to be an only child , but as long as they love him , he is flexible . He also likes safe pets that are not violent or aggressive .
Ava , 17 , loves to fully live life . She ’ s open to new experiences and is able to go with the flow . She is very creative and loves the arts . Ava has an eye for taking something old and making it new . She loves to read and listen to music . She also will happily debate you , though she a has a good nature and a great sense of humor , so it ’ s a healthy debate . Ava is originally from Johannesburg , South Africa , so she would benefit from a family that would appreciate her cultural background . She ' d like to stay in the Southeast Pennsylvania area , as she has made great friends and wants to stay connected with them . She ' d do well with a family that is open-minded and are good listeners who like to eat healthy . She would benefit from a home where there are no younger siblings . ava
ATTICUS
Say hello to 13-year-old Atticus , “ Addy ” to his friends who loves to tumble , jump on the trampoline , walk on the balance beam , the bars and vault ! He is a loving , always-smiling youngster who loves to be outdoors . Addy ’ s love for gymnastics led him to be involved with Special Olympics gymnastics . He loves to be in the pool and playing in the water . His favorite food is ice cream , and a home with unlimited ice cream is his dream ! Addy also loves to eat and enjoys playing with fidget toys , as well as with books that play music and sounds . A home that can provide patience and life-long care would be best for Addy . He would also thrive in a home where he is the only child or the youngest child in the home .
