Ayden, 12 years old, MO

Ayden is a very sweet and lovable young man with a heart full of joy and determination. He has a severe learning disability, but he never lets that hold him back—always giving his best effort and asking for help when he needs it. Ayden is currently in foster care and is hoping that his journey leads to a loving, forever family through adoption. He thrives outdoors, where he enjoys playing and exploring, but he also loves winding down with his favorite games and kid-friendly shows on TV or YouTube. Ayden has a big heart and a wide range of interests, including a love for cooking and a growing excitement about earning money to save in his very own savings account. He absolutely adores animals—especially dogs and cats—and is always ready to give a warm hug. With his messy hair, bright smile, and gentle spirit, Ayden has a special way of bringing joy and love to everyone he meets.
