Julian

Take Julian to a theme park with roller coasters for a topsy-turvy terrific time. He dreams of visiting Disney World and Universal Studios to feel the sensation of the thrill rides. “It would be fun,” Julian says. “I would ride the roller coasters, and it would make my stomach feel weird.” Hopefully not so weird that he’ll still be able to enjoy a snack or two … or maybe even a million. Another one of Julian’s wishes is “to have endless snacks.” If Julian could eat anything, he’d feast on chicken nuggets. That would give him fuel for some of his favorite activities such as swimming, playing video games, and watching TV. Julian has a creative side to his personality. “He is artistic and likes to draw and color,” says one of Julian’s close adults. He says art and gym are his favorite classes in school, and blue is his favorite color. It comes as no surprise that Christmas and Halloween are Julian’s favorite holidays because he loves to receive toys and eat lots of candy. In addition to visiting theme parks and noshing on snacks, Julian wishes for “a pool full of toys.” He also wishes to be adopted. Among other things, Julian says he hopes to go swimming and vacationing with his new family.

When he’s asked what he’s most proud of, Julian says “being smart.” “Julian does well in school academically,” says one of his close adults. “Julian is active and needs to stay busy. He loves to play with toys and can keep himself busy for hours playing with toys.”

Julian would do best with one parent or a mom and dad. His new parent or parents should be experienced and trauma informed. Julian’s new family must make sure he receives the support services he needs to thrive. He would do best as the youngest child in the home. Julian’s new parent or parents need to be open to letting him maintain his important and appropriate relationships.
