New Beginnings
Aiden looking for a dad
Affectionate teen likes music
Posted
I’m a really fun guy and I just like hanging out.”
Aiden
Clint Williams and Jonason Pauley
Music helps people express their deep emotions and listening to it helps Aiden to know he isn’t the only one who has felt that way.
A long list of favorite artists includes “Maroon 5”, “Juice World”, “Weane”, and “Lil Mosey”. But not all his favorites are heavy. He also says he likes “Nyan Cat”, “The Chicken Nugget Song”, and the “Krusty Krab Remix”.
Aiden does well academically and he is quick to solve the puzzle of turning a pile of LEGO bricks into something new.
He is a happy-go-lucky kid and loves to have fun. Just ask him.
“I’m a really fun guy and I just like hanging out,” Aiden says.
Aiden makes weekly trips to the library and usually checks out books about dinosaurs.
Like many teens he likes spending time playing games on his tablet, saying “every boy and girl in the world likes video games.”
Aiden also likes swimming, playing soccer, and going out to Burger King.
The best fit family for Aiden would be a one or two parent home where a strong male role model is present. He would thrive in a home where he is the only child – or the youngest child – and would get the individualized attention he needs to grow.
