Josiah, 16 years old, NJ
Josiah is a responsible middle child who values his close relationship with his siblings. They were placed in foster care after their mother passed away, which disrupted their childhood development and exposure to the outside world. Josiah is curious about making friends outside his siblings, but is still adjusting to new environments. He enjoyed trying pizza for the first time and is learning to be comfortable with new experiences. His current foster family has training to help children with trauma, and those who meet him understand the importance of being patient as he navigates his feelings and experiences..
