Casey is an intelligent, organized and funny 16-year-old waiting for his forever home. Doing creative activities like crafting, reading and scrapbooking always brings a smile to his face. His favorite subject in school is art, and he says he would like to work for the postal service when he is older.
An ideal weekend for Casey would include anything to do with arts, crafts or playing games. Casey also enjoys swimming, hiking and playing video games with his friends. Casey and his child specific recruiter, Hayley, love spending time doing something creative.

When thinking about his forever home, Casey would prefer a two-parent household, but he and his team are open to a single parent that has the right resources and support. He would do best in the suburbs and would do well with other kids and pets in the home.
Casey would thrive is a home that has structure and consistency. “Casey does have a hearing impairment and having a family that is fluent, or willing to learn ASL is crucial,” says Hayley.
Casey would also need a family that is willing to support him in maintaining services he currently needs and help provide him with any additional services he may need in the future. Casey does have occasional contact with his birth parents and would need a family that is supportive of him if or when he chooses to build relationships with them.
“Casey is very funny and creative, teen and he brings a lot of joy and laughter to others,” says Hayley. “He is a wonderful individual who deserves a loving family that will support him and care for him.”
Details to Note
