Joshua from Pennsylvania

Joshua is a sweet and loving boy who can win over your heart with his smile. He’s very sociable, loves hugs, and gets along well with other children. Doing arts and crafts, going for walks, and swinging on the swings at the local park are some of his favorite things. He also enjoys going swimming at the local pool and you will find him there every day in the summertime if possible! Joshua likes to play with his friends, especially when building things with blocks or coloring a picture book. Joshua loves to sit and have storybooks read to him. He looks forward to a storybook reading every night before bed. Some of his favorites include, “Where the Wild Things Are” and “The Very Hungary Caterpillar.” He also uses picture books and storyboards to communicate his thoughts and feelings. Joshua is familiar with having pets around and does well with animals. And because he also gets along so well with his peers, he would enjoy having a sibling in an adoptive home as well. He would also really like to keep in contact with some of his family members. Parental rights have not been terminated for Joshua; however, when a permanent resource is identified the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights.
