Daruis from Virginia

Darius is a very personable young man who has never met a stranger. Darius speaks to everyone that he sees. He will hold the door open for strangers and ask if they need assistance. He is very polite and has a good heart. He loves to help his friends and tries to acknowledge them on their birthday. Darius thrives off attention and has a lot of self-confidence. Darius enjoys sports and participating in extra-curricular activities in the community. Darius is not ashamed of being in foster care and appreciates the exposure and opportunities that he has been afforded. Darius has a huge support team that he relies on and is beginning to trust. It is important to Daruis to stay connected with his birth mother and siblings. He would like to find a forever family that is supportive of their connection. In our effort to limit the digital footprint of our children and youth, Virginia has elected to only provide photos to inquiring families. (A digital footprint could be described as a trail left behind when someone uses the internet (e.g. websites visited, social media accounts, photos, etc.). The state wants to be cautious as to who can see and potentially have access to youth’s info.
